Yorkshire folk! The daughter of a friend's friend is making a film about the bands that played at Minsthorpe High School in the late 80s/early 90s – the likes of the Weddoes, Cud, House of Love etc. They're trying to track down the teachers who put the bands on – Mel and Trev. Anyone know them?

Merry Christmas from Will and the CUD band! Thanks for an unforgettable year. See you in 2026!

Sorry to hear the news of Tony Woolgar’s passing. He was a wonderful character and recorder of the Leeds music scene for decades. This photo he took of us in 1988, for the Under My Hat single, is one of our favourites - those kids! RIP Tony.
