Each week around Leeds venues such as Brudenell Social Club, Nation of Shopkeepers, Oporto and many others are spreading the love by putting on free live music, for you to enjoy. !FREE SHOWS THIS WEEK! aims to showcase the best picks and keep you informed, so that you never have to miss out…

We are all back from our well deserved Easter Breaks (or should be!) so here are the free shows on offer this week! This week there are not as many as some weeks, so make sure you are all getting yourselves down to show your support and encourage venues to put on more FREE LIVE MUSIC!

My personal pick this week is brought to us by Nation of Shopkeepers, usually putting on 1 or 2 free shows a week, showcasing some really great bands, these guys are really doing their bit to support the local music scene. The ABC Club are local to Leeds, so even more reason to check them out! Especially if you are into a bit of shoegazing whimsy, check out the video for “White Lies”, lead singer, Zandra’s nonchalant, staring eyes are quite captivating and unnerving.

And the rest…
