“I really feel part of a community here, especially a musical community. I’ve played at The Wardrobe and The HiFi Club so many times and so many of my friends are graduates of Leeds College of Music – people who’ve come here to seek their fortune and work and write music...”
Corinne Bailey Rae, BBC Leeds interview
“It’s exciting to see a project … focusing solely on musicians in Leeds, a city which continues to produce so many vibrant bands and artists all the time! By offering this type of training and advice, musicians will learn how the industry really operates and that can only be a good thing if they are to go on and make a success in their musical careers.”
Peanut (Kaiser Chiefs)
“I believe Leeds College of Music is the best place to go in Europe. Leeds’ reputation is growing every year. If I were young and living in the UK or Europe I would definitely favour Leeds over Berklee.”
Dominic Miller (Sting’s guitarist)
“I have never forgotten the wonderfully warm reception from both the staff and audience from the very first time we performed there, and Leeds College of Music has held a special place in my heart ever since.”
Stacey Kent
