Every month we spend ten minutes finding out more about one of our members, how they describe themselves as an artist and what projects they’ve been involved with, both in and outside the Club.

August’s featured member is Jamie Newman. Jamie is a Founding Member of the Leeds Savage Club and also its current Club Secretary Secretary.

So…Jamie, where did you grow up & how did you come to be in Leeds?

I grew up in a village near Weston Super Mare, but since uni, I’ve mainly lived in the Bristol/Bath area. I moved to Leeds for an IT contract about three years ago. The contract was only for a year, but then I got another job opportunity in Leeds and have been here ever since! I like the way Leeds has lots of interesting places, often in areas that you don’t expect – like the Brudenell Social Club, Meanwood Park and, of course, Temple Works, to name but a few. I also think Leeds has a very good Live Music Scene.

Every month we spend ten minutes finding out more about one of our members, how they describe themselves as an artist and what projects they’ve been involved with, both in and outside the Club.

July’s featured member is Hannah Bisson. Hannah is a Founding Member of the Leeds Savage Club and also the club’s Minutes Secretary.

So…Hannah, where did you grow up & how did you come to be in Leeds?

I was born in Manchester, but grew up in Worcester, which nestles snugly at the foot of the Malvern Hills in the Midlands. I moved around a lot after leaving home at 18 and have lived all over the shop, including the eastern, western and southern coastlines of Britain. I have also spent several years abroad in France, China and Spain. Upon returning to the UK (to be nearer to the ever-increasing herd of nieces and nephews that I have), I decided to move somewhere unknown, unexplored. It was a toss up between Cardiff and Leeds. Exotic, huh?! I got a job in Leeds first so the decision was made for me. And I’m glad. Leeds is a fantastic city with masses to offer. Having lived in so many different places previously, I’ve found it fits me well. It’s vibrant, culturally diverse and has some stunning places in and around it. It’s not staid or conservative, nor the people cold like some other places I have lived in. It’s a cracking place to be at the moment and it’s only getting better.

Founding Members at Temple Works

Date: Weds 28th July
Time: 19:15
Venue: Prince Of Wales?, Mill Hill, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS1 5DQ, 0113 245 2434?

The task for this week, optional as always, is as follows:

For this week’s task, picture a scene: You are at an evening social
engagement of some kind. You are unexpectedly told that someone
outside would like to see you. You stop what you are doing to go
outside. When you get outside, a mysterious person (or someone you
know – up to you!) is waiting for you. They give you a CD with no
label on it. What is on this CD? Why have you been given it? The task
is to write about this. As always stick to this as closely as
you want – it is just to give you ideas. If you want to bring work not
related to the theme then that’s fine.

For more details about the meet, please see here.

  • Who Is a Leeds Savage ?

    A Leeds Savage is someone who draws, paints, sketches; writes prose, poetry, lyrics etc at any ability. I will stress: any ability. We don't give a hoot if the extent of your portfolio of work is contained on your deskpad at work, or the furthest your poetry has ever got is your bedroom door. The important thing is that you don't just talk about doing it, you do it. A Leeds Savage does not spend their time in cafes boasting about how one day they will write a book. Nor is a Leeds Savage someone who is looking for people to tell them how great they are.

    Robert St-John Smith
    Current Chief of the Leeds Savage Club
