What is Le Phonographique about?

Le Phonographique (aka The Phono) was a dark and dingy night club formed in the bowels of the Merrion centre,Leeds, in 1979 and it's regconized as the world’s first gothic nightclub! (Pre dating the back cave by 3years) The Phono was frequested by bands like The Sisters of Mercy, The Misson, March Violets and even The Clash played a gig there in May 1985. It soon became a safe haven for all sorts of alternative people who were seen by others as freaks, weirdos or misfits!

Starting in 1981 The Phono ran a Saturday afternoon drinking session. Paying homage to this Hifi Club Leeds will be opening from 1pm to 6pm. You can expect to hear a combination of punk, post punk, newwave, goth, grunge, alternative rock and the best dance floor fillers of the 20th century.!

Sadly the original venue closed in 2006 but in 2008 previous owners of the club and former DJ’s came together to keep the spirit of the club alive!

Original Le Phonographique Dj's will be playing the tunes and it will be, probably the most authentic retro alternative music event you will ever go to!

The Phono events appeal to a mixture of people ranging from the original goths, punks and old phono-ites through to the alternative youth of today wanting to experience what the The Phono was like back in the day. We hope you join us for what should be a fun filled event
