The first weekend of May saw myself and Helen Kelly reporting on the multi-venue Live at Leeds festival, which took place across the city over the bank holiday weekend. One of the artists that I caught up for a chat with was 20 year old Lewis Watson, an up and coming singer-songwriter. I asked him a few questions following his acoustic session for LSRfmREAD MORE

10 Make-Up Myths: True or False?

As women, a lot of us feel naturally obliged to share advice on beauty and make-up – especially when we hear about a tip that promises to “really work”. We all do it, let’s be honest. During my girly gossip sessions with friends, someone often comes up with the latest secret to getting flawless skin, or making your lips look as sexy as Angelina Jolie’s, but we never think to question the truth behind these myths. I’ve decided that enough is enough, and have looked into the science behind some of the most common rumours we hear about make-up to settle this once and for all. READ MORE

Music Blog: Fryars Interview

Holy Trinity Church is slowly filling up. Couples, groups of friends and even lone individuals linger waiting for Fryars aka Ben Garrett to take to the stage. It’s true you can’t help thinking that it isn’t right that a gig is taking place in a church, but for Fryars’ performance I get the feeling that it’s perfect.

At just 22, he’s been hotly tipped as the next Mercury Prize winner with a lot of expectation to live up to. Ben started making music in his bedroom and caught the attention of high profile fans like Kanye and Depeche Mode. Now he’s at Live at Leeds after some time out to show us all what he’s been busy working on and I had the opportunity to find out more from the man himself in the very interesting location of the band’s tour van....

LEEDS FRIENDS OF SYRIA welcomes you to come along for a very chilled session where we'll be learning how to knit! The class will be led by Nisreen, expert knitter so don't worry if you're a complete beginner, and you can buy some tasty cake to raise some extra funds for charity so bring along a couple of pounds for an extra treat! Yes, we know it's in revision week but it's the perfect antidote to all those essays and stress! The aim is to get each person to knit a square, which will eventually be sewn together to make a big blanket that can be sent on a future aid convoy to Syria. Only £1 to cover the cost of materials.

Music Blog: MS MR Interview


By Helen Kelly
May 6, 2013 - 7:22pm

MS MR aka Max and Lizzy are from New York and played one of the best shows I have ever been to at The Faversham as part of Live at Leeds 2013. It was great not just to see them play live after falling in love with their music last summer, when I heard their track ‘Hurricane’, but to also see them willing to stick around after the show to meet their fans. Although they were pushed for time to pack up and move on, Max and Lizzy talked with fans about their music, tour and memories from previous gigs as well as taking photos and signing autographs. Even better I got to interview the band. Firstly, you guys have such a strong stage presence and connect really well with the crowd, how did it feel to get out in front of the Live at Leeds crowd?...

The World We Live In - Should Leeds University Union Have Liberation Officers?


By Rachel Megan Barker
May 6, 2013 - 6:57pm

In another wonderful display of democratic process, Leeds University Union is having a referendum on whether or not we should introduce part time liberation officers. These would be four elected officers who’d work with the Equality and Diversity officer, similar to the society and community reps that we have now, who’d represent traditionally underrepresented and marginalised groups; women, LGBT people, black, Asian and ethnic minority people and disabled people.
