41 Call Lane, Leeds, LS1 7BT 41 Call Lane, Leeds, LS1 7BT Northern Guitars Café Bar 41 Call Lane, Leeds, LS1 7BT License Extension Proposal Our Clientele • Live Music Fans • Musicians • Music Tourists • Mature crowd • Real Ale & Craft Beer Fans • Artists & Photographers • Private Parties • Couples & groups on a quiet night out Proposal • Current licensed hours 10am-10:30pm 7 days p/w • Proposed licensed hours 10am-11:30pm 7 days p/w The Reason • Customers and performing musicians are frustrated by the short opening hours especially when the bar shuts while an artist is still performing. • Our customers do not want to go anywhere else to finish off their night out. They tell us they would rather have a relaxed end to their evening at Northern Guitars. • Longterm success of the venue would be aided by improved customer experience for our existing clientele. • 10:30pm close is affecting our trading as a serious small live music venue. Potential live music promoters are put off by the limited hours. Private Hire: Leeds Pride 2017 O2 Mobile Event Outdoor smoking area / beer garden Promotion of the licensing objectives • We have a very strict door policy and have the same licensed doorman every Friday and Saturday. He has a very defined profile for the type of customer we admit: no drunk people ever, no stag or hen parties, no football shirts, no gangs of lads, and a Check 25 age policy on the door before admittance. We have a very stringent zero tolerance drugs policy. • We are increasing the number of our CCTV cameras to include the area of Call Lane outside the venue. • We have an outside smoking area at the back of the building so none of our customers need to be on Call Lane during the evening. • We do not have silly drink promotions. We are not a cocktail bar or a venue where people come to get drunk. • We are a destination venue catering for a mature crowd. The standard Call Lane drinker does not come to our venue because there is nothing for them here. • We are not trying to attract more people to Call Lane but simply to cater for our existing customers by creating a more relaxed environment. National Cupcake Day Food & Snacks • Range of locally sourced cakes, pastries and savouries (Wildcraft Bakery, Crawshaws Butchers, Cake Witch). • Vegetarian and Vegan Options. • Coffee from Leeds based Leodis Coffee. • Teas and wide variety of soft drinks. • National Cupcake Day participant. Craft Ales • Featured ales from local brewers Kirkstall Brewery & Leeds Brewery. •Yorkshire beers from various brewers featured prominently. •Total of nine cask and keg ales on draught.

Summary & our track record so far • We are a responsible venue. We have used our TENs notices without incident. • We have had no trouble related police call outs of any kind and not a single incident in the bar since opening. • We have met or exceeded every criteria stipulated in our original licence application. • We are a different type of venue for the area; independent, unique, boutique. Customers tell us there is nowhere else like this place. • We cater for a noticeably different clientele to the main bars on the street; laid back, mature, music loving. • Our Facebook review ratings are an astounding 4.9 out of 5 based on 52 reviews. Our customers love this place and tell us it is their new favourite destination. They go out of their way to come here and are definitely not on a Call Lane bar crawl. Far from it. • We champion local bands and performers, local ales, local food. • We have taken deliberate care to build our customer base, but they are feeling frustrated by our trading hours. They want to start and finish their evening at Northern Guitars in a relaxed atmosphere. • We accept the Cumulative Impact Policy but any recent increase in late night Call Lane crime figures can not be attributable to us because we do not normally operate at late night hours. • We are trying to promote the street to be an original and intriguing place for Leeds residents and tourists to explore. • We hope a successful application for a one hour extension will secure the long term future of our venue.

Reviews 27/12/17 If you’re a fan of classic rock, Call Lane is home to your new go-to bar – and it’s in a guitar shop. Northern Guitars has been selling the finest axes for over three decades, but now they’ve split their shop in two. The guitars are upstairs, and the ground floor is home to the finest rock & roll bar you never knew existed. It’s a really cool space, with reclaimed furniture and exposed brickwork partially covered in classic gig posters and photos of rock icons. Tunes from The Clash, David Bowie and Fleetwood Mac blare out of the speakers and they have a retro jukebox in the corner too. Treat yourself to a couple of pints of Yorkshire’s finest ales – they stock local favourites like Leeds Brewery and Kirkstall Brewery, just be careful, after a few pints you might go home with a new toy you hadn’t bargained for.

One of my proudest achievements here has been the LGBT+ Conservatives Candidates’ Fund, which has supported so many people into parliament and raised tens of thousands of pounds. As the fund matures it is moving into a new governance structure, and I hope to play a role in that future. I am thrilled to be succeeded by Elena Bunbury.

  • Leeds Culture Strategy Draft Scrutiny Statement
    Leeds Culture Strategy Draft Scrutiny Statement Introduction 1. In accordance with the remit of the Inclusive Growth, Culture and Sport Scrutiny Board, we agreed at the beginning of the 2017/18 municipal year to consider and monitor progress with the city’s European Capital of Culture 2023 Bid as well as monitoring the development of a delivery plan linked to the city’s new Culture Strategy 2017-2030, which was formally adopted in July 2017. 2. In July 2017, we therefore received a detailed overview of the work undertaken to develop the Leeds 2023 European Capital of Culture Bid and expressed our support, recognising the cultural and economic value a successful bid could have to the city and the wider region. 3. However, in December 2017 we received a further briefing from the Chief Executive, Chief Officer for Culture and Sport and the Leader of the Council in light of developments surrounding the eligibility of the UK to host European Capital of Culture 2023. 4. In February 2018, the Director of City Development then provided an interim update on the development of the Culture Strategy Delivery Plan following the adoption of the new Culture Strategy for Leeds 2017-2030 and also the implications of events relating to the city’s bid for European Capital of Culture. At that stage, we also welcomed contributions from external witnesses representing the business sector and musical arts. 5. In consideration of all this information presented to Scrutiny, we have set out within this Statement our key observations and conclusions regarding the situation with the 2023 European Capital of Culture Bid and in moving forward with the delivery of the city’s Culture Strategy for 2017-2030.

  • History Month
    LGBT+ HISTORY MONTH A celebration of LGBT+ History Month by the North East, Yorkshire and the Humber LGBT+ Committee highlighting positive actions and changes over the years The Wolfenden Committee publishes a report recommending that ‘homosexual behaviour between consenting adults in 1957 private should no longer be a criminal offence’. The then Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Geoffrey Fisher, and the British Medical Association backed the recommendation. Despite this, the Conservative Government rejected the recommendations. The Nullity of Marriage Act was passed by the Conservative Government. The Act explicitly banned same-sex marriages in England and 1971 Wales. The House of Commons moves to reduce the age of consent for same-sex relations between men to the age of 16. The vote was defeated and the age of consent was instead 1994 lowered to 18. An age of consent for same-sex relations between women was not set. The age of consent for same-sex relations between men was lowered to 16, having previously been lowered from 21 to 18 in 1994. 2001 The age of consent was now the same for same-sex relations and hetrosexual relations. The Civil Partnership Act 2004 was passed, giving same- sex couples the same rights and responsibilities as married hetrosexual couples in the UK (although in N Ireland same-sex adoption was exempt). 2004 The Gender Recognition Act 2004 gave trans people full legal recognition in their appropriate gender. The Act allows trans people to acquire a new birth certificate. The Marriage (Same-Sex Couples) Act 2013 officially comes into force, with the first saame-sex marriages in England and Wales taking place on 29 March 2014.
