Remember 'Le Phonographique' nightclub (aka 'The Phono'), the worlds first Goth nightclub, with a commemorative plaque.

Definitely my favourite place in the 80's, Goth's were a significant part of the culture in Leeds and The Phono was somewhere people knew about or visited from all over the UK. This has to be celebrated and recognised as part of Leeds cultural history

Such a great part of the Leeds cultural scene in the 1980s and 1990s. If Manchester can commemorate its club history from that period, then why not Leeds? The CITY THAT INVENTED GOTH MUSIC.

I was a regular at Le Phono from the early 90's to the very late 90's... I was introduced to the Goth subculture by a friend and have never looked back. I'm glad to be a part of the Le Phono history....
