Russell Crowe visits Yorkshire Tea factory in Harrogate
Staff at Yorkshire Tea HQ in Harrogate have enjoyed an intimate performance by Hollywood star Russell Crowe and his band.
The actor-cum-musician dropped in with his Indoor Garden Party bandmates before their gig at Leeds venue City Varieties on Friday night.They performed tracks from their new album The Musical, which topped the download charts on iTunes and Amazon this week, in front of an audience of hundreds of staff at Hookstone Chase.
The New Zealander star deliberately added Leeds to his tour itinerary - which also includes London and Dublin - due to his appreciation of Yorkshire. He is a keen Leeds United fan, having watched highlights of their matches while growing up in Sydney, Australia, and also follows rugby league.
