A unique arts-based project that celebrates sports in Leeds is being showcased this week.

Unsung Sports, a project focussing on showcasing sport in the city, will be coming to Leeds Irish Centre on Wednesday, October 25, and Leeds City Museum on Thursday, October 26 at 7.30pm. It is led by writer and musician Peter Spafford and the project uses poetry, music, film and photography to celebrate the achievements of local sporting groups and the people who participate.

He now regularly sends participants to Japan to compete at international level. Bob said: “Aikido gives people confidence and a strong sense of achievement. It also provides friendship groups and a helps you to develop a positive attitude. We teach our younger members that if you are nice to people, then nice things happen!” Leeds Petanque Club, based in Kirkstall, is a popular sport among the older people in the city and will also be showcased in the Unsung Project.
