Acorn4 - as I recall, there was a pretty vibrant music scene in Leicester over 40 years ago! I worked for a short spell as a barman (which is what we were called in those days) in the upstairs "music" bar of a pub at the end of London Road (next door to the YMCA) called The Victoria. As I recall, there was blues/R&B on Thursdays, folk on Fridays and jazz on Saturdays and sometimes Sundays. And that was just one pub! Good to hear it's still all happening there.
