Emerging music talent in Leeds will always have good platforms to express themselves on along with the audiences to express themselves to. For example, if you want a stage and an audience, there’s the open mic night at Carpe Diem ran brilliantly by Lyrically Justified for over six years now. Many of my friends and acquaintances have performed there over the years and have had a ball of a time. There are also other open mic nights throughout the city such as Tuesdays at The Ship and Wednesdays at The Hop. I’m sure there’s a couple more jotted around the city centre but I’m certainly not aware of them because open mic nights aren’t well advertised.

Future Arts @ BBC Radio Leeds
Last Thursday I went along with Bravo, Tom, Paula & Stefanie to BBC Radio Leeds where we spread the good word about this organization. It all kicked off at 6:30 at the Future Arts HQ where we all gathered round for a pre-radio chat headed by our brilliant new PR officer Stefanie. She gave us fantastic advice on how to conduct ourselves in order to come across in the best possible light for Future Arts.
Leeds could be the best city in the UK by 2030
Yesterday in the Yorkshire Evening Post a blueprint was laid out that hopes to make Leeds the best city in the UK by 2030. As a passionate Loiner I’d insist that Leeds is the best city in the world end of argument. However as a cynical unemployed young person I can still see flaws in this city and this is where Future Arts can step in to be a part of the vision to improve this city by 2030.
Things can only get better at Future Arts!
Good news! Things for me at Future Arts are really moving forwards, much more so than at any other organisation I’ve been a part of in the last three years. From my last blog you may have gathered that I was still feeling rather pessimistic and underwhelmed in general about my prospects. Well you should be all pleased to read that I’m now feeling overwhelmed by the opportunities that are opening up for myself and others with support from the management team at Future Arts.
