Rat Fest update - 1 day to go!

Last year we had the one-man band that is Martyn Roper. And what a great show that was! And he's back but this time he's bringing the rest of the gang.

Introducing...

LEEDS CITY STOMPERS

Prohibition era blues, early jazz and swing. Good time music for people that like to stomp, wobble, shake and swing.

Hope you're all bringing your dancing shoes!

Coming up at Rat Fest on Sunday afternoon....

CERYS ALLATT!

Cerys might be a pint-sized performer, but she delivers BIG! Big voice, big presence and big fun. Cerys Allatt's genre is hard to define but every song is dished out with gusto and lots of soul.

Come show support, this Sunday at the Rat 🐀🍻🐀🍻🐀
