List of Leicester Bands<\/h1>\n

2015<\/h2>\n

Page last edited: 4th January 2015<\/p>\n

Some people collect stamps; \u00a0 we collect bands.<\/p>\n

We have also included some bands from outside the local area, if in the East Midlands.<\/p>\n

This page lists all bands that we know of that were currently active in Leicester and Leicestershire in 2014.<\/p>\n

A new list has been started for 2015<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

No new items will be added to this page; new items will now be added to the page for 2015.<\/p>\n

This list includes both bands that play their own music (original<\/strong>) and those that play\u00a0covers<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

See the home page for the bands section for more<\/a><\/p>\n

The band’s name links to their main page on Facebook or in some cases to their official web site (if they have one.)<\/p>\n

If you see a band on this list that has stopped<\/strong>, please let us know.<\/a><\/p>\n

New bands will be added daily, so please bookmark this page and come back later.<\/p>\n

Bands are listed alphabetically but bands beginning with “The” or “A” are listed under the next letter.<\/p>\n

If you would like to help to compile this list, please contact us<\/a>.<\/p>\n
