	Oxfam - Carling Weekend: Leeds Festival
		Leeds Carling weekend was held once again over the August bank holiday weekend 22nd — 28th August 2006 in the magnificent grounds of the beautiful Bramham park stately home.
		At Leeds, the Oxfam stewards roles were mainly limited to ticket checking on the gates, fire marshalling the music venues, staffing the main arena entrance and the emergency exits, exchanging bags of litter for beer vouchers, handing out and instructing women on the urinelles, and staffing the disabled platforms.
		If you are interested in stewarding at Leeds festival in 2007, please visit this website in February to download an application form.

	Leeds International Film Festival, 2003
		Leeds doesn't seem locked into the international showcase mentality of the London Film Festival, or the marriage of commerce, culture and identity of the Welsh International Film Festival.
		Leeds is a little Blairite itself – the city of the 2003 Conde Nast Traveller award, not the festival; an assembly of towering glass facades around spacious concrete basins, and all the correct commercial outlets, notable clubs and restaurants.
		In this context, the festival programme is all the more refreshing: galas, the cult, the obscure, the political and (mostly developing-) world cinema.

	Fat Reg's Festival news
		Glastonbury Festival organiser Michael Eavis has announced that the New Bands Stage at the festival will be renamed the John Peel Stage in honour of the kegendary DJ who dies suddenly earlier this week.
		The festival's promoters added: "While we are disappointed to lose Limp Bizkit on Sunday at Download we still know that fans are up for the first ever full blown multi-day, multi-stage rock festival at Donington." No doubt that will be small comfort to anyone who bought a ticket on the strength of Limp Bizkit's appearance.
		Leeds City Council say that a decision could be made to grant a licence for both sites – in which case Mean Fiddler would decide which to hold it at – or for one site and not the other, or, in a worst case scenario, for neither site.

	Leeds Festival In Jeopardy
		The Leeds festival, headlined by rock legends Guns ‘n’ Roses, has been refused its license by Leeds Council on the basis that they have not made the advised improvements to management and crowd control.
		Councillor Graham Hyde said at the licensing meeting: “The panel are concerned that, at previous applications for a public entertainment license for the Leeds Festival at Temple Newsam, assurances were given that improvements would be made to the control and management of the site.
		The objections from local residents voiced by the environmental department were that the toilets last year were not serviced and ready for use at the start of the weekend, and throughout the festival they were blocked and filthy and urinals were overflowing.

		Reading and Leeds Festivals were The Strokes' only appearances outside the USA in 2002.
		The finale performance of their huge hit Paradise City turned out to be one of the highlights of the festival with the entire crowd, for as far as the eye could see, singing along.
		Thanks to some sunny spells in Leeds, Saturday's muddy conditions had all but dried up, and people were keen to do some last minute shopping before leaving the festival.

	Leeds Festival 2005, 01/09/05, Bloggle
		At festivals you get plied with freebies — evidently they’ve done a bit of research into the sort of things students like: free things is of course the top answer.
		Given that Leeds is just up the M1 from Sheffield the impending crush and lack of oxygen that came with the band’s presence on stage hardly came as a shock.
		We saw one instance of a festival goer being brutally thrown to the floor and handcuffed, all because of a fire.

		While her colleague Councillor John Procter was putting forward his case in a very studied and eloquent manner, Councillor Castle remained silent throughout the hour long meeting.
		The special meeting of the Planning Panel to which she refers in her letter was not about whether or not the Festival should go ahead but on purely the issue of whether planning approval was needed for the temporary entrances that had been erected on the site.
		Had the Festival been cancelled it could have been a financial disaster for Leeds City Council.

		While many would name Paris, California or even London as locations integral to the birth of cinema, it was in fact Leeds where the first moving images were filmed, by Louis le Prince in 1889.
		October, the festival marks the event with Spanish horror from midnight 'til dawn.
		This is a testament to festival director Chris Fell's aggressive strategy to make Leeds stand out in the UK's busiest festival season, and to the imagination of its programmers.

		It may have been a festival — such events aren’t subject to the normal weather climate, almost anything goes — but ice falling from the sky during August came as a surprise.
		As always with festivals there were lots of people about – though it was impossible to tell whether they were up late or up early.
		As an aside when i first went to Leeds in 2000 I got dumped during the festival so if anyone had asked me how I was I'd probably have broken down in tears.

	Leeds Festival 2003
		It was my first festival and to be honest I had been a bit worried, you only ever hear the horror stories of festivals past, never the good stuff.
		Although missed the start, for some reason the organizers thought it would be a great idea to open the gates 10 min's before the first act went on stage so unless you where pretty much first in the cue you had no chance.
		I was a bit apprehensive after Chester's op but they took Leeds by storm with a great mix of old and new material.
