About Paul Simons Graceland by the London African Gospel Choir

Graceland turns thirty-something and still fills rooms with the sound of township harmonies, mbaqanga rhythm and horn lines that refuse to sit still. A gospel choir takes on the album track by track, leaning into the massed vocals that made the original such an unusual pop record in the first place.

Expect a Sunday evening crowd that skews toward long-time fans who know every ad-lib, singing along from the opening accordion riff onwards. It's a communal, celebratory take on the songs rather than a straight covers show.

Where to stay nearby

Leeds is the obvious base, with the venue only a kilometre from the city centre and the largest choice of hotels on this list. Bradford sits a short hop away and offers a cheaper alternative with decent onward transport links into Leeds. Sheffield is more of a stretch at 47km, but works if you're combining the gig with other plans further south, or if the closer towns are booked up on the night — a regular train service connects it to Leeds.

Leeds — about 1 km away

Sheffield — about 47 km away

Sheffield is a longer trip, generally around 45 minutes to an hour by train or car, so it suits those tying the night into a wider South Yorkshire visit rather than a single-purpose trip.
