- 👏 to whoever called the police saying our queue of a handful of people weren't socially distanced despite being 2m apart in clearly marked areas. Maybe try not wasting valuable police time and kicking an industry that is already on its knees 🙄

- In 2022, I stole 6 posters from Leadmill toilets.
- Would anyone in England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland be interested in a Sunny live show in the Spring? Asking for some friends looking to travel. Will work for food :) 🏴 🏴 🇮🇪 🏴 😎
- Sad news tonight. Thanks to all who've supported us over these difficult times, we'll never forget what you've done for this business and it's super talented staff. This will take us a few days to process but we will update everyone as soon as we can with next steps. ❤️ 1/2
- This week marks 19 years since a group of local lads hit the stage for their first ever show at The Grapes right here in Sheffield. The set included covers from White Stripes, The Strokes, Fat Boy Slim, plus some early originals. Long live Arctic Monkeys, Steel City's finest ❤
- The landlord is absolutely not the owner of The Leadmill. He is the owner of an old derelict flour mill building. Once we are evicted then everything that has made this building special will be gone. Once we are out, there is no heritage, there is no Leadmill.NEW: In his only TV interview owner of music venue @Leadmill says it is not closing & he promises to preserve iconic venue’s heritage. @DominicMadden told @SkyNews artists said the Leadmill ‘needs improvement’ and ‘change is necessary’ Watch our story from #Sheffield tonight.

- To clarify, if the landlord gets their way then there will be NO more Leadmill. Everything that currently makes our venue what it is will be gone. The sign will go, the staff will go and the building will be stripped of everything that makes it unique, including our name.Please keep your kind messages of support coming and continue to share your reasons why #WeCantLoseLeadmill
