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.
The tiramisu hype lives on, and this time it's coming to Leeds.
It really does feel like the traditional Italian dessert has taken the world by storm as of late.
Everything from tiramisu cups and tiramisu coffees have been popping up all over our feed, and now tiramisu in drawer form is popping up in the city centre.
Misu Tiramisu is an independent business that began at Manchester's Christmas Markets and quickly became one of the most popular operators, all thanks to its miniature tiramisu ‘drawers’.

The individually portioned and colourfully packaged desserts quickly became one of town’s top puddings, and owners Aleem and Aishah went on to launch a stand inside the Manchester Arndale too.

You’ll find all their delicious flavours of handmade tiramisu, including classic, pistachio, chocolate, Biscoff, mango, and lemon - they'll also have some gluten-free tiramisu on offer as well, so no one has to miss out.

Misu Tiramisu owners Aleem and Aishah spent a year refining the recipe for their tiramisus after a trip to Milan, first launching with their first market stall in Sale.

They're open every day of the week for you to get your tiramisu fix, from 9am to 8pm Monday to Saturday and from 11am to 5pm on a Sunday.

Fossilised 320-million-year-old fish found in Leeds’ Roundhay Park
Clementine Hall
A prehistoric fish fossil has been unearthed at Roundhay Park in Leeds.
The fascinating prehistoric skull bone of a coelacanth fish was discovered by a geologist at Roundhay Park earlier this year.
It is thought the creature was frozen in time aeons ago, during an era when the park was submerged under a vast tropical lagoon.
The remarkable discovery has now been kindly donated to Leeds Museums and Galleries and added to the natural sciences collection at Leeds Discovery Centre.

The Leeds fossil was found by Ru Smith of the Yorkshire Geological Society during a reconnaissance walk he was carrying out ahead of a planned field excursion in the north Leeds park.
Describing the moment he made the discovery, Ru said: “There’s a layer of rock in the park which dates from around 320 million years ago, from a time before the breakup of the continents, when what is now the park would have been situated close the Equator and under the warm waters of a tropical lagoon. West Central Africa would be a good place to find similar environments in the present.
“There’s a bed of freshwater mussels called Carbonicola at one level in the rock, and opening a piece of shale from this bed in my hands I saw something unusual – a distinctive skull bone of a large fish. I knew straight away this was something different and very rare."
The bone was verified byexperts as belonging to a coelacanth older than those found elsewhere in Yorkshire, making it the oldest fossil coelacanth discovered in the region.
Ru added: “Coelacanths are pretty amazing fish and it’s just very cool to think that at one time, you could have been standing in Leeds and watching them swim around above a bed of mussels in Roundhay Park.
“That’s really the wonder of geology, looking at the rock and time travelling in the imagination to what was a very different world.”
