Brudenell Social Club

The Brudenell Social Club is a social club in the Hyde Park area of Leeds, England. It is best known for its music venue] . [ [ http://www.brudenellsocialclub.co.uk Club website ] ]

The Brudenell was formed as a 'gentleman's social and recreational club' in 1913 and originally was a social club for cabaret and bingo. It is one of the most important music venues in Leeds due to its proximity to the Hyde Park area which is the 'student' area of the city. As well playing host to many gigs for lesser-known bands, the Brudenell has hosted 'secret' gigs by the likes of Franz Ferdinand (in April 2004 under the pseudonym 'The Black Hands'), and the Kaiser Chiefs. The Cribs also played many of their early gigs there and continue to play regularly. It was the venue of The Cribs charity fund raising Christmas event, Cribsmas.
