Club Culture in Leeds, led by Suzy Mason
Led by legendary Leeds club founder Suzy Mason, Club Culture in Leeds will take you back to the heady days of 90s clubs. From the dark days of the so-called Yorkshire Ripper to a student boom town, Leeds became a vital destination on the house music circuit. With a key focus on LGBTQ+ and women in Leeds nightlife, Suzy brings her personal experiences to tell the story of Club Culture in Leeds.
