Lots of pubs closing in Leek at the moment; but the survivors are falling over each other to arrange live music of one sort or another. Rock bands, acoustic sessions, open mike nights, jazz nights, singarounds; so much for the music not bringing the punters in. The landlords around here watch each other like hawks, and the continued success of the Wilkes Head, a small, simple pub with a very strong music culture has been duly noted.
