Thoughtful about music in West Yorkshire

Description:

The aim is to love popular music, in West Yorkshire or wherever else you live.

West Yorkshire as a (vaguely defined) region has the richest music in the UK right now. There is no "West Yorkshire Sound". There is just a wild concentration of amazing talent and fierce interest. Sign up and contribute to our randomly eclectic group radio. Pay attention to the artists listed in our connections list and suggest more. There is no longer a tagged radio, with nothing but regional sounds to listen to because last.fm have screwed it up.

West Yorkshire's top music website (probably the best music community website in the world) is Leeds Music Scene. It boasts a busy forum and a stupendous gig guide that everyone who isn't from Leeds should have a look at - just to make themselves feel jealous.

Bomfest

BOMfest 2010 will be held at Worsborough Mill and country park in Barnsley on Saturday 17th July and will be offering limited camping to the public. After plenty of searching, the local council proposed this site to BOMfest after our initial enquiries were towards having the festival at Hoyle Mill. The new site at Worsborough Mill used to host an agricultural fair around ten years ago so has a history of events taking place there. The management have met with Noise pollution and Cultural officers onsite and agreed that the location is totally suitable and the site is a Goer. 2010 line ups will start to be announced throughout April on this site and the Stage managers will be getting in touch with successful artists at the end of March. If you want to have a chat to Bomfest on twitter then find us here: http://www.twitter.com/BOMfest2010 Looking forward to talking music with last fm and hearing from new bands :)
