The Daintees, the group he leads, are a British folk rock band formed in 1982. Their debut single, 'Roll On Summertime', appeared that year on the Kitchenware label, and their first album, Boat to Bolivia, followed in 1986.

After that record, the band appeared on Channel 4's The Tube and BBC2's Whistle Test. Their second album, Gladsome, Humour & Blue, came out in 1988 and included the singles 'There Comes A Time'and 'Wholly Humble Heart'. The Leeds concert features material from that album, alongside other songs and fan favourites.
