While not a Foresight event, this flyer being preserved in the collection shows the broader musical interests of the collective. Happy Mondays were legends of the Madchester scene, their fusion of indie rock, funk, and acid house defining a crucial moment in UK music history.
By the time of this gig (exact year unknown, but likely mid-90s based on the flyer design), Happy Mondays were past their original peak but still a massive draw. Their live shows were notorious for their chaotic energy and Shaun Ryder’s unpredictable presence.
Leeds Polytechnic (now Leeds Beckett University) was an important venue for touring bands in the 90s, part of the student union circuit that kept live music accessible and affordable.
