00:00 I'd love to see a lot of 80s bands come.
00:02 We're going to see Human League in December.
00:05 I cannot wait, with my sister.
00:07 Erm...
00:09 I want my scene ABC come.
00:11 Come to Leeds.
00:13 I love a bit of Martin Fry.
00:15 I actually saw him last year in Leeds.
00:17 Morrissey, he's my number one.
00:20 I'd like to see Radiohead, I don't know if...
00:23 I like that sort of stuff, you know.
00:25 Depressing things.
00:27 I'm going to see Girls Aloud later on this year,
00:30 but that is not my choice.
00:32 I'm going with friends, so it'll be a laugh.
00:34 I don't know any of the songs, but...
00:36 Dolly Parton.
00:38 Mm.
00:39 She's one of the best.
00:40 Can I?
00:41 I think I speak for the young generation,
00:46 because I'm an artist as well, I do music as well,
00:49 and the young generation, you know, like the drill music,
00:53 so I would be happy if they invite, like, Central Sea,
00:56 you know, Fizzy D.
00:58 A really good band that I've followed on Facebook,
01:01 and I've got one or two of their tracks on Facebook, as it were,
01:04 is Yee Light, the Chinese-English group of two young women
01:09 and their brother playing bass,
01:12 but it's usually those two on vocals,
01:14 and they're really good, they're just starting to do gigs,
01:18 Liverpool-based, but, yeah, I think if they came to Leeds,
01:21 I would like to go see them, yeah.
01:23 We are going to see The Foo Fighters in Glasgow,
01:26 but, yes, if they came to Leeds,
01:28 that would be my ideal act at this moment in time.
01:32 I suppose going back old school, I'm a bit of a rock fan,
01:37 but old school rock, deep purple, that kind of music.
01:41 I think the last band I went to see was James
01:43 at the First Direct Arena.
01:47 Absolutely superb.
01:49 I'd love to see you two.
01:51 Oh, no.
01:52 I'd love to see Simple Minds.
01:54 Well they've been haven't they?
01:55 I know but I'll have to make sure that I can get there when they come again.
