Music PR in Leeds
Leeds has one of the healthiest DIY scenes in Britain and a venue circuit that genuinely develops artists. A campaign here starts inside that community rather than above it.
Campaigns run remotely across the UK. We do not need an office near you, and you should be sceptical of anyone charging you as though they do.
Leeds works differently to most British cities. Its scene is built around a small number of venues that function as genuine institutions, a large student population that turns over constantly, and a DIY infrastructure of labels and promoters that is unusually durable.
That means a Leeds campaign has a real local foundation to work with — but also that the community can tell instantly when an artist is being marketed at it rather than emerging from it. We run these campaigns from inside the scene's own logic.

The Leeds circuit
Venues are not press, but a campaign that ignores them is missing half the story. Where you have played tells an editor more about you than any adjective in a press release.
Brudenell Social Club is one of the best-regarded independent venues in Britain and playing it carries weight well beyond Yorkshire. Hyde Park Book Club and Belgrave Music Hall serve the earlier stages with strong local audiences. Headrow House covers the mid-range. Wharf Chambers is central to the DIY, punk and queer scenes. Oporto and Santiago anchor the small-room circuit. Beyond those, Leeds University Union and Project House mark the step into touring-level rooms.
What we tell Leeds artists
Engage with the DIY infrastructure genuinely rather than treating it as a stepping stone. Come Play With Me, the Brudenell's programming and the promoter network around Wharf Chambers are the actual engine of the Leeds scene, and artists who are part of that community get supported by it. Artists who appear from outside it with a PR campaign attached rarely do.
