Leeds United Association Football Club recorded a Premiership-high 21 losses in a dreadful 2003 season that saw the club finish 19th of 20, the team’s last taste of top-flight English football after being relegated to the country’s lower divisions.
But there were some good times in Leeds in the 12 months of 2003, and the recently unearthed footage below shows one such night…
Regular readers of this here rag know we’re quite fond of retrofit funky four-piece known as The New Mastersounds. So imagine our bonerrific delight when a monthly search of their moniker on The YouTube turned up three pro-shot, black-and-white clips of a 2003 gig at The Wardrobe in the band’s hometown.
But wait a minute, Ron, that’s not all. The band was joined that night by a stage full of horns and energy, and the end result is some seriously deep funk worthy of your consideration this afternoon. Up first, we begin with a clip of You Got It All, with the tNM joined by Malcolm Strachan and Jason Rae of the Haggis Horns, Jim Corry on tenor sax and Clive Freckleton on vocals/tambourine.
