Stars support expansion of music studio

The band have donated to the newly-formed charity Leeds Music Trust, which has submitted plans to develop facilities at Old Chapel rehearsal studios in Holbeck, where the Leeds chart toppers started their journey to stardom.

If permission is granted by planning chiefs, Old Chapel will become the new base for the Trust and others including the Leeds education charity, Cloth Cat.

Nick Hodgson of Kaiser Chiefs said: “We have supported the work of Old Chapel for many years because it was invaluable to us when we were young and we’d like to see it do the same for the next generation of Leeds musicians.”
