00:00 We also want to find out a bit about what a led mill means to Sheffield.
00:03 Have you three been there?
00:05 I have been but not in a while.
00:08 It is a good night out.
00:10 I like it.
00:11 It's a good night.
00:12 It's quite far because I live in Entebbe, it's quite far to walk.
00:15 Like, in Hull we have a freezer.
00:17 But it is a good night.
00:19 I like the cards that they do.
00:21 It's like, you know, you're a member of the led mill, you get your drinks, huge cheap shots.
00:26 It's always packed as well.
00:28 It's a good student place and it's so cheap as well.
00:32 Yeah.
00:33 But the music's good.
00:34 Do you normally go for club nights or for gigs?
00:37 Club nights, yeah.
00:39 If you were going to a gig at the led mill, who would you want to see?
00:43 I don't know.
00:44 It depends what they do.
00:45 Do they do like, is it more indie or like...
00:48 Yeah, I think it's quite a mix actually.
00:50 They had Def Leppard there a few months ago, they're quite like a heavy rock band.
00:55 Oh, I'm not in that.
00:56 I'm not in that.
00:58 Chris Moyles was there as a DJ last month.
01:02 Do you know who Miss Chris Moyles is?
01:04 No!
01:05 Yeah, I didn't think, that reaction made me think that, I had no clue.
01:08 It was a famous celeb.
01:10 Oh yeah, I do know her!
01:14 Well, if it was someone that I knew, then I'm sure like, I would see her as a good guy.
01:19 He was here.
01:21 Yeah, yeah, I've been a few times.
01:24 I haven't been in a few years, so I'm like in my fifth year of being at Sheffield.
01:28 I did my undergrad and I'm working on a bit of a master's, but when I was doing my undergrad,
01:33 you know as freshers do, you go quite a lot to the led mill.
01:36 I know it's got, I think the Arctic Monkeys used to perform there a lot, so that's the cultural significance.
01:42 I didn't really think it was anything special, not to be mean, I had good nights there.
01:47 It just felt like a normal club to me.
01:50 We like our electronic music.
01:52 So, led mill's more of like a, what kind of place?
01:56 I don't know, it was a bit lively wasn't it?
01:58 There was moshing going on.
02:00 Yeah, it was a bit intense for me.
02:02 Have you ever been to any gigs there? Has it been club nights?
02:05 Um, yeah, club nights, like Dick and Dom, if you've ever been to that one.
02:11 Yeah, it was really good.
02:14 That's the only one I can remember.
02:17 I went actually, when you could sit down in clubs during COVID, and I sat down with some of my mates and it was hilarious.
02:24 Yeah, it was really funny. That was good.
02:26 Do you think they need to bring that back then?
02:28 No, no, I don't think they need to.
