Leeds!’ by Les Reed and Barry Mason, who also wrote ‘The Last Waltz’ for Engelbert Humperdinck and ‘Delilah’ for Tom Jones (incidentally an unofficial anthem for Stoke City).

It first became a hit on the terraces when it was sung by the 1972 Leeds United team and supporters on the B-side of ‘Leeds United’, a single released to coincide with the team reaching the FA Cup Final.

The Most Perilous Comedie of Elizabeth I - at Kirkstall Abbey

Elizabethan theatre is flourishing. But will a brand-new Tudor musical romp, in which Good Queen Bess takes to the stage herself, be the making of this heroine or spell the beginning of her downfall?

The stage is set for regicidal rivalries, devious dramatics, and plotting playwrights. Beset by misunderstandings and a script that…let’s just say…needs some work, this production promises to be largely historical, always hysterical.

As the old saying goes…thy show must go-eth on!
