The Duchess Blue Plaque Unveiling

Join Leeds Civic Trust for a blue plaque unveiling for Iconic Leeds music venue, The Duchess

The Duchess opened in 1985, with a capacity of 250 people, The Duchess of York (The Duchess) became Leeds’s most important grass-roots music venue where emerging bands and artists performed on their way to becoming commercially or culturally successful. The iconic list includes Oasis, The Verve, Radiohead, Blur, Coldplay, PJ Harvey, Muse, Bush, Placebo, Green Day and Pulp.

The energy of legendary music promoter, John Keenan, made this rough and ready pub into a thriving musical scene of the early nineties.
A long-standing campaign for a blue plaque has finally come to fruition, after Leeds Civic Trust, who are the city’s custodians of the blue plaques scheme approved a nomination.

Further details to be announced soon!
