I moved to Leeds in 1978 because the music scene was a magnet..
post punk agit pop bands Gang of 4, Mekons, Delta 5, Girls At Our Best.. etc

I think I was paying 27p for a pint of Tetleys in a music pub near the Uni...???

I of course was on a government sponsored musician's grant - the dole..

My first job in Leeds - a respectable clerical office job was £27 per week..
can't remember if that was net or take home..

£27 divided by 27p =....???..... bugger.. where's the calculator...???
