A tribute night dedicated to all things rock band Fleetwood Mac is making its way to a local indie music venue in Huddersfield.
Titled Weetwood Mac, this tribute act has claimed the title as one of the most authentic Fleetwood Mac tribute bands and even better, these 70’s rock-loving musicians are from Leeds.
Expect to hear all your favourites like ‘Songbird’ and ‘Rhiannon’, as well as their timeless generational hits like ‘Everywhere’ and ‘Dreams’.
Although you might not get to hear Stevie Nicks and co. in the flesh, at least you’ll get to hear this iconic band’s tracks with a bit of discussion and Yorkshire twang spread throughout the night.
This West Yorkshire live music hotspot has been running for almost 20 years providing Huddersfield with some cracking performances that cater to everyone from metalheads to pure pop lovers.

American heavyweights Fleetwood Mac have left quite a mark in pop culture, forming almost 60 years ago - what better way to celebrate their legacy than hearing all their greatest hits live once more.
It’s safe to say you’ll spot a ‘Gold Dust Woman’ or two in the crowd on the night when Weetwood Mac play out to the music institution’s 300 capacity top-floor space.
This summer marked 10 years since the ‘Little Lies’ hitmakers last visited Yorkshire, making a pitstop at the first direct arena in Leeds for their ‘On With The Show’ tour in July 2015.
Now, Weetwood Mac are making sure us ‘Sisters of the Moon’ get a chance to sing to our heart’s content once more with fellow Maccies in Huddersfield this winter.
Weetwood Mac, one of the music industry’s most authentic Fleetwood Mac tribute acts is coming to Parish in Huddersfield on Friday 12 December.
If you fancy listening to a bit of Weetwood Mac, tickets are on sale now, just make sure you ‘Go Your Own Way’ to their official website before you rock up on the night HERE.

Bringing an authentic Caribbean flavour to Leeds, it’s the perfect new addition and complements our already stellar line-up of street food vendors.”

“For us, food is family. From our kitchen to every person who comes to our counter, we want people to feel the warmth, the energy and the spirit of the islands. We can’t wait to bring those authentic flavours and good vibes to Trinity Kitchen.”
The announcement follows news that the UK’s largest independent boutique bowling brand Lane7, and footwear retailers schuh and Footasylum, would be opening at Trinity Leeds later this year, whilst the LEGO Store will be relocating to a larger space within the shopping centre.
Posting to their social media, The Maven said: "When news broke The Maven could close its doors at the end of March, the reaction across the city was immediate. The response from customers, bartenders, and hospitality operators showed just how much this bar means to Leeds.
"For nearly 15 years, The Maven has been one of the city’s most loved cocktail destinations and a true institution within the local bar scene.
"When we told you about its potential closure we were flooded with support and interest from across the hospitality community. In the days that followed, several Leeds-based operators stepped forward with genuine offers to buy the venue and keep the bar alive.
"At a time when our industry is too often filled with stories of closures, today brings a little hope - a story about a community stepping up to protect something it values.
"The reports that The Maven would close at the end of March are now firmly in the past: The Maven Lives.
"Thanks to the passion of the Leeds hospitality community and the loyalty of its guests, the bar will continue to be part of the city’s nightlife story. More details about the next chapter for The Maven will be shared soon."
