Topic: A Garden in Leeds
Thanks to Phill Williams for starting me off. I was going to try and write something folksy, but it ended up being more upbeat, almost rockabilly. Give it a try and see what you think. This is my first Leeds song. I’ve only been there once, and that was to Elland Road so I missed seeing most of the area. Leeds United had a 2-0 win over Spurs back in the late 90s. I hope to get back one day and see more.
