Jimmy Carr: Laughs Funny

21 Mar 2025

19:00

St George’s Hall

If you like fast-paced, edgy one-liners then get ready to be happy. Jimmy Carr will be back in Bradford with an extension to his current tour, Jimmy Carr: Laughs Funny.

Jimmy tells jokes, and jokes are like magnets.
Jokes attract people, but they can also repel.
Some people are repelled by Jimmy’s dark brand of comedy. This show is not for them.
But if it’s the kind of thing you like, then this is the kind of thing you’ll like.

‘Jimmy Carr: Laughs Funny’ will be 90 minutes of solid jokes, no interval.

Art of Andalucia

16 May 2025

19:30 - 21:30

Bradford Cathedral

“ART OF ANDALUCIA” is a captivating celebration of Daniel Martinez’s exceptional artistry in the world of flamenco. This unique concert offers a full immersion into the essence of flamenco, featuring a carefully curated selection of Daniel’s most celebrated works from his discography, including his award-winning production “Art of Believing” and his latest masterpiece, “Andalucia.” Additionally, the concert will provide an exclusive sneak peek into his eagerly awaited third album, offering the audience an exclusive first listen to some of his new music.

“ART OF ANDALUCIA” is not just a music concert; it’s an homage to the rich tradition of flamenco dance. Daniel Martinez strives to achieve a harmonious balance between music and dance, elevating the latter to a starring role in the show. To realise this vision, the concert will showcase two extraordinary dancers whose artistry and passion are set to ignite the stage, taking the audience on a sensory journey through the heart of Andalucia. Daniel will compose and create original music specifically for each dancer’s choreography, which will be uniquely choreographed exclusively for this production and can only be seen on this tour. This meticulous alignment of music and movement ensures a seamless and immersive experience, celebrating the profound connection between flamenco music and dance.

One of the dancers, the world-renowned Angel Reyes, will grace the stage with his extraordinary talent. Angel, a member of Manuel Liñan’s company, has also distinguished himself for many years as the second dancer in Jesus Carmona’s company. Globally celebrated for his impeccable technique and fiery passion, his performances are mesmerising, leaving the audience spellbound and deeply moved. His presence in “ART OF ANDALUCIA” elevates the concert to an unmissable cultural event, bringing a unique and electrifying energy.

Joining Angel is the fantastic Gabriela Pouso, the exceptional dancer for the Daniel Martinez Flamenco Company. Since its beginnings, Gabriela has been an integral part of the company, performing on the biggest and most important stages across the UK. She was instrumental in the company’s success when they won the prestigious Herald Angel Award, captivating the more than 60,000 people who have attended their concerts since 2017. Her performances blend elegance, grace, and intensity, enthralling audiences with every movement.

The experience is completed by the presence of their stunning singers and palmeros Inma Montero and Danielo Olivera, who bring pure soul and heart to flamenco, along with percussionist Julian Ticotico whose rhythm will be the pulse of an unforgettable night. Additionally, there will be a total of eight musicians on stage, each contributing their mastery to create a symphony of sounds that will transport you to Andalucia. “ART OF ANDALUCIA” is not just a concert; it is a cultural encounter, a fusion of music and dance that aims to bring the magic of flamenco beyond the borders of Spain, directly to the heart of the United Kingdom. Prepare to be part of a night where passion, art, and tradition intertwine to create something truly extraordinary. Immerse yourself in this vibrant celebration of Andalucian culture and let the spirit of flamenco envelop you in a unique and unforgettable experience.

The Fabric of Memory by Annie Fforde

1 Nov - 5 Jan 2025

17:00 - 15:00

South Square

The Fabric of Memory by Annie Fforde
Opening and Open Studio: Fri 1st Nov , 5pm – 8pm
South Square, Plenty at the Square

Running: 1st Nov 24 – 5th Jan 25

A fabric of memory is a series of monotype and etching prints based on fabric ‘scrim’ used often in the print studio to clean ink off the metal plates. The experience of the fabric retaining it’s innate shape when flattened or pressed reflects our ability to make connections between the real or imaginary memories. The structure of the fabric remains unchanged but the process it undergoes with multiple colours changes it’s appearance over time, reflecting our own interpretations of memories.

All works are original prints using lithographic or etching inks on specialised etching papers. Created in Studio 4, South Square Centre, Thornton..or WYPW. Mirfield.

Stitching Connections by Claire Wellesley-Smith

1 Nov - 5 Jan 2025

17:00 - 15:00

South Square

Stitching Connections by Claire Wellesley-Smith

Opening Night : Fri 1st November | 5pm – 8pm | South Square
Running : 1st Nov – 5th Jan 2025

Stitching Connections

Claire Wellesley-Smith is an artist, researcher and curator based in Bradford. The
ability of textile to transform and connect over time inform her studio, community,
and research practices.

Stitching Connections shows textile work from her studio and community-based
practice over the last 15 years. Projects with Bradford based organisations exploring
the heritage of textile dyes and recycling, creative health and the isolation of
lockdown, speak to a commitment to engaging with subject, communities, and
processes over many years. The pieced and stitched work from collaborative
projects demonstrate the universal language of textiles and commonalities of
experience. Claire’s reflective, durational stitch work is informed by listening to and
being part of conversations through making around the tabletops of Bradford’s many
community spaces of care.

‘In work after work, stitch after stitch, Claire has made her practice – and textiles –
accountable. ‘Fieldwork’ is the term used. Whatever is written in her book, whether is
stitched or dyed, has been lived out: carried around in her community scrap bag; left
in the backyard to be weathered by the elements before being invested with the care
of repair; grown on her allotment, found on an urban walk or experienced in the daily
act of spending time with needle, thread and cloth.’ June Hill

An adaptation of the popular TV series, which revisits the 1950’s and Maplins Holiday Camp with its host of colourful characters.

The title reflects her aim to adopt a more sustainable approach to her life and art but extends beyond this to focus on the importance of the simple things in life, life’s treasures, family, friends, nature and the wonderful world that surrounds us.
