YA#44 - Benny Diction
Wharf Chambers Cooperative Club, Leeds, LS2 7EQ
Sunday 22nd February 2026
We're back for our 13th year (the difficult teens!). To kick it off we're focusing on the power of words with a mix of hip-hop, storytelling and pop. We're also trying two new things. One is we're bringing in tickets for under 18s. These are still free (though I've chucked in a pay what you feel option to raise some money for charity at each gig) but will help keep an eye on capacity.
Now to the acts!
The other change is that if you feel it would help your child for any reason to come and see the gig room before it starts packing out then we're keeping some time available from 1-1:30pm so just drop us a line on [email protected] and we'll organise that for you.
