leicester + indie music + 1986-1987
issue 7
November 1989
Jump forward two years and you find that not only was Leicester's indie scene thriving but also that there was much talent in the genres of soul, ska, blues, reggae and rock. I found several experts in these fields to share their knowledge of who's who and what's what in and around the city.
Thanks, amongst others, to Geoff Overon, Conrad Stubbs and Mark Pollard.
