Q&A with Steve ‘n’ Seagulls
Where’s your favourite place to visit in Yorkshire?
“Well, to be honest, we are most familiar with Leeds when it comes to the Yorkshire area. So Leeds it is.”
Do you have a favourite place to eat in Yorkshire?
“Yes. First of all, we love food and beer. We have had some very awesome pies at Brudenell Social Club in Leeds. And some good beers too. That’s what I’ll eat once we get to Leeds.”
What sort of accommodation do you prefer to stay in when on the road with work?
“We would prefer the finest hotels and luxury. But on tour, I’d say we stay in mid-level hotels. And they have been just fine. We have also spent a fine night once in Leeds in our tour van.”
Will you get a chance to go sightseeing while in Yorkshire? Anything in particular you’d like to see?
“Not really. Like I said above, the schedule is usually very tight. Mainly, we just walk around the areas close to the venue. If it’s possible, we’d love to check out the pubs in the area.”
While fans wait for your dates in Yorkshire, where can they hear from you?
