The Kooks battle through the rain as homegrown heroes The Cribs and ex-Spice Girl Mel C steal the day as the spring bank holiday kicks off at Temple Newsam.

They are not on the level of problems suffered by a local star in Corrine Bailey Rae however; the Leeds-born singer, here in a special position to promote last year’s acclaimed garage-jazz fusion record Black Rainbows, is beset by problems across her microphone and other instruments, though she gamely battles on for as long as she can on the Cockpit Main Stage, named for the sadly departed Leeds venue considered a national institution.
