02 - The Leadmill and the Electric Group

Episode notes

"The Battle for the Soul of Sheffield" between Phil Mills' Leadmill team and landlords, The Electric Group, has captivated music fans across the city and the country. Just weeks ago, Sheffield City Council granted the building landlords a shadow license, which puts them in the driving seat to take over sometime in 2024.

The saga has become messy. 'Save The Leadmill' continue a social media campaign to try and prevent the takeover, which the Electric Group have said has been "libellous" at times.

Electric Group CEO, Dominic Madden, joins The Sheffield Scoop for an honest conversation about the saga - whilst, true to form, The Leadmill tell us they won't have anyone available for interview. So what is happening at The Leadmill, who really is Dominic Madden and what does he plan to do with the venue if/when he takes over?

Welcome to the Sheffield Scoop.
