I had a grand old chat with Deby Jackson who is the creator, editor, all-round-everything of That Leeds Mag, an independent printed Leeds magazine that goes out to 19,000 homes across North Leeds.
It provides advertising for local businesses, has great editorial features and the cover art work is really beautiful too.
Deby tells me about how and why she got started and what she thinks of Leeds as a relative newcomer to the city. I had been interviewed by her for That Leeds Mag the previous week so it was good to be able to turn the tables too!

Deby chose to feature "Ocean Floor" by a Leeds pop-collective called Sea's Cape and any proceeds of the song raises money for the Marine Conservation Society.
"The Leeds band members and comprise Spencer Bayles - music producer, and musician, Nicky Bray - musician, and curator of longstanding Leeds open mic night 'Tower of Song', and Emma Gatherer, singer and former member of Leeds Sea Shanty group 'Ocean Loiners' - a Loiner being an old term for a resident of Leeds. 'Ocean Floor' has been recorded over several weeks with elements of social distancing at times, while fitting the project in around day jobs. Sea's Cape hope their resulting catchy pop song with upbeat folk undertones will inspire enough interest to raise funds for and awareness of the Marine Conservation Society. The Society campaigns and takes action for a cleaner, better protected ocean, to care for coastal habitats and raise awareness of the challenges of Climate Change on our oceans."
