Hookworms, the Fall and the Wedding Present will be among the acts helping the Leeds Brudenell Social Club celebrate its centenary.

The acts will be performing as part of a series of 21 gigs from groups the venue has previously helped promote or worked with.

Leeds band Forward Russia! will play a one-off reunion show while on 7 December a special all day event with performances from Sky Larkin and Eagulls will take place.

Nathan Clark, the current proprietor of the Brudenell, said: ‘The Brudenell isn’t like, and isn’t set up like, any other club. It isn't affiliated to any external bodies.

‘We’ve now got a better spec than anywhere that’s putting on similar gigs in the area, just because of the natural organic reinvestment, and new dressing rooms and toilets and showers and stuff like that. You can physically buy facilities, but you can’t buy the model of reinvestment and I don’t think you can replicate it either.’

The Cribs, Franz Ferdinand (secret gig), Kaiser Chiefs and Johnny Marr are among some of the bands to have also played at the venue.
