Our Held Spaces for Writing are monthly events where you can bring your current writing projects and progress them in a supported environment to help keep you on track, motivated and accountable.

Bradford Producing Hub has recognised a need for writers of all kinds to have a held space to gain support with goal-setting and accountability to complete their writing projects.

Held Spaces for Writing is a free, supportive monthly event to help you progress with any writing projects you have going on. You don’t need to be a playwright, poet or screenwriter, you could be writing an essay or report or funding bid. This is a space to support writing of any kind. Come with your laptops, pens, and notebooks and let’s get writing!

Thornton to Bradford Walk For World Fair Trade Day

10 May 2025

10:00 - 14:15

Kipping Gardens, Thornton - walk start point

Join Bradford Fairtrade Zone’s walk to mark World Fair Trade Day.

Starting from Kipping Gardens in Thornton, at the junction of Kipping Lane and Thornton Road, the walk will cover mixed terrain – ranging from cobbled streets near the Bronte Birthplace, and Bradford’s urban paths and cityscape, to open country near Clayton and Scholemoor. Learn more about Bradford’s industrial history, and finish by crossing City Park’s mirror pool and fountains to arrive at Bradford's impressive Grade 1 listed City Hall for a special welcome.

Fairtrade supporters around the world will be celebrating how the global Fair Trade movement supports, and collaborates with, farmers and workers in less-developed countries, and we will explain how Fairtrade helps towards the Sustainable Development Goals – everything from ending poverty, hunger and inequality, to tackling climate change and protecting the environment. Bradford has been a Fairtrade Zone since 2006 and, together with Bradford Council, we promote Fairtrade and its social, economic and environmental sustainability aims.

The walk is Walk 9 of the Bradford District Fair Trade Way, which is a scenic, circular walking route linking all the district’s Fairtrade towns and villages. The walk is 5 ½ miles / 9 km and is moderate to hard with some climbs, muddy sections, rough track and uneven pavements. There may be livestock in the fields. No dogs.

The walk will be led by experienced walk leaders at a fairly easy pace, and will include a lunch break. Strong footwear essential and suitable outdoor clothing. Bring a packed lunch and drinks.

For more information, email: ilkleyfairtradegroup@gmail.com

We really look forward to seeing you!

Meatloaf Tribute – All Revved Up!

18 Apr 2025

19:30 - 23:00

Nightrain

While singing in Spain after Peter performed the songs 2 out of 3 and you Took the Words Right Out of My Mouth. A gentleman from the audience suggested Peter should put together a Tribute Show to Meat Loaf. Since taking the man’s advice Peter has become one of the top tributes to the Rock legend.,

After honing his performances in Cyprus from 2008 to 2012 he has now established himself in the UK and Europe as one of the most sought after artists due to his sound/look alike persona.

Further to becoming a top solo act Peter also played the part of Meat Loaf in a very popular theatre production “ROCK AND ROLL DREAMS COME TRUE”.

In the last 7 years he has performed with the live theatre show “ROCK AND ROLL DREAMS COME TRUE” and more recently with his own band ‘All Revved Up’.

Known for the passion and emotion he puts into the songs, Peter captures the very essence of the story in the lyrics written by Jim Steinman.

Peter also offers his self contained show as a duet along with the assistance of Emma who also sings in the theatre show.

Divine Disco with DJ Greg Belson

13 - 14 Jun 2025

19:00 - 01:00

Fountains Church Bradford

JoyScouts & fcb proudly present

The Divine Disco

The Divine Chord Gospel Show’s DJ Greg Belson will join Bradford’s City of Culture celebrations this summer.

British-born, Los Angeles-based DJ Greg Belson has become world renowned for his monthly Divine Chord Gospel Show on the www.dublab.com platform and his regular sets at NYC Downlow in Glastonbury’s legendary Block9 area.

Belson is an authentic industry stalwart specialising in rare and mostly unknown 7” vinyl, often recorded as vanity presses by churches, choirs and unknown record labels in the deep-South states of America during the 60s and 70s.

Greg has been on a mission to share the bounty of more than 25 years of crate-digging and unearthing obscure and forgotten records. He has amassed one of the world’s most prolific American gospel record collections and is arguably the world’s leading authorities in this genre.

“In the late 60s they would start to use riffs from popular secular songs by Al Green or something,” says Belson. “By the mid-70s disco was starting to become en vogue.” So enterprising gospel artists decided to make disco records with a religious message with the intention, presumably, of converting clubbers on the dancefloor. Whether they ever succeeded in this tricky mission is unknown – but in the process they made passionate songs in which the spiritual power of gospel is turbocharged by the euphoric thump of disco. “When you hear a quality gospel vocal really going at it and delivering it from the heart and the soul, it really does transcend,” says Belson. “It’s just explosive, really.”

We have been fortunate enough and are honoured to book Greg to grace the decks at Fountains Church Bradford for one night only.

Come and join us on Friday 13th June for a night of infectious, uplifting and enlightening gospel-influenced soul, funk, jazz, disco, r & b, hip-hop, house and more.

Early bird saver prices are available. Put the date in your diary and book your tickets early.

Doors open at 7pm -1am (subject to licence). There will be a fully licensed bar and light snacks will be available.

Guest DJ to be announced.

First tier Early Bird £8
Second tier £10
On the door price £12

VERBO I VODA: WIN A PRIZE £50 WORTH

28 May 2025

19:30 - 22:00

The 1 in 12 Club

Verbo I Voda is the darkest yet the most atmospheric Ukrainian improv musical show written for voice and lap steel guitar. Upon arrival you will be immediately immerse into an experimental DJ set composed by Ben Finlay followed by a raffle where all of you will have an exceptional chance to win hand crafted Ukrainian inspired up-cycled accessories, CD and many more.

‘It’s a completely beguiling new album with shredded and reconstituted Ukrainian folk songs…’ by Kate Molleson from BBC3 New Music Show.

It’s an unforgettable performance which involves most unexpected vocals from mumbles and extrem vocals to lyrical operatic soundscaping followed by enigmatic sound pallet of lap steel guitar.

Verbo I Voda is a duo formed by opera singer and improviser Milana Sarukhanyan (vocals) and improviser and guitarist John Bisset (lap steel guitar) back in London. The duo was at first freely improvised; but gradually it became apparent that working from Ukrainian Folk songs gave the music a focus and also had a cultural richness, with Milana’s interweaving of English and Ukrainian languages reflecting her own background and journey, while the earthy and sometimes bloody content of these folk songs created what Ashley Wales calls ‘Dark music for Dark times’

When Milana decided to move to Bradford, we hurried into the recording studio to catch some of our music. This produced our album. But what might have been the documentation of a collaboration has become a beginning, with a string of gigs planned in the North for 2024-2025 and new collaborators getting involved, such as Jem Finer on hurdy gurdy.

John Bisset: ‘Improvising with Milana is a rich and enlivening experience. I’m never sure where we’re going from one piece to another, emotionally or musically. Her wide dynamic range - from full blown operatic Ffffffff’s to tiny whisperings and plosive babblings - interacts with the equally wide tonal range of the lap steel. A nightmare to record, but one from which we’ve woken with a dream album.’

Milana Sarukhanyan: ‘Working with John is a special type of art for me. He has an exceptional musicality with attention to micro sound details and is a truly supportive and hardworking artist who is honest and warm-hearted in the way he works with me and other colleagues. It’s a huge honour to make music together with John’

Beehive Poets at Bradford City Library present Julia Deakin

2 May 2025

19:00 - 21:00

City Library

Join Beehive Poets for the visit of Julia Deakin.

Julia Deakin was born in Nuneaton in 1956 and worked her way north to Yorkshire via Shropshire, the Potteries and Manchester. Widely published, each of her collections is praised by top UK poets. ‘Crafted, tender poems, written with passion and purpose,’ said Simon Armitage of her first; her fourth, 'Sleepless' (Valley Press 2019) is commended by Gillian Clarke. A birder, walker and ice-skater, she has featured twice on Poetry Please and won a few prizes – none of them for skating.

Julia will be supported by a reading from Rob Maslen. Rob is from Bradford and a long-time member of the Beehive poets. His pamphlet 'Much Needed Unrest' (Templar Poetry) was published in 2023.

We look forward to seeing you there!
