If you’ve ever wandered through the Wakefield Kirkgate subway and caught yourself humming along to the Horbury Victoria Brass playlist, you’re not alone — it’s become a bit of a hidden gem for passers-by and daily commuters alike. Well, there’s now a new addition tucked into the mix — and it’s a proper Wakefield Easter egg.


Thanks to local legend Chris Littlewood, we’ve snuck in his brilliant track “Wakefield” as a little surprise treat for anyone passing through the tunnel. If you're lucky, you might just time it right and catch it playing while you walk. And if you do — trust us, it's a moment.


Chris popped down himself recently and just happened to walk through while his song was playing. “Surreal, but brilliant,” he said — and we couldn’t agree more.


The song’s been making waves online too — especially over on TikTok, where it’s clocked over 23,000 views in just two days! Not bad for a tune about our humble city, eh?

Huge thanks to Chris for creating a track that celebrates the character, grit and warmth of Wakefield — and for letting us share it in such a unique way.


Next time you're at Kirkgate Station, keep your ears open. You might just catch a bit of brass and a love letter to Wakefield in song form.
