From the heartbeat of reggae and rocksteady - the roots carried by the Windrush generation - through to lovers rock, jungle, garage, drum & bass and grime, to the rhythms shaping today.

A Bradford 2025 Artist Award project.

Created from community conversations, research and lived experiences, the piece honours the Windrush generation and shines a light on the lasting impact of their stories in Bradford.

Blending verbatim voices, live music and new writing, it explores themes of love, unity, freedom and connection across generations. It’s a celebration of resilience, influence and creativity – acknowledging the roots of Black-origin music while inviting audiences to reflect on how those sounds continue to shape society.

Bradford-born soul singer Sinead Campbell leads a collective of outstanding Yorkshire musicians and artists in this collaboration. Each performer has been carefully chosen for their deep connection to music of Black origin and culture, bringing passion and reverence to the stage.

At its core, Love. Unite. Freedom. is about visibility, empowerment and carrying wisdom forward. There’s something new for everyone to take away with them – whether you’re getting lost in the sounds of the 70’s or discovering the underground sounds of the 90’s. Don’t miss your chance to experience this powerful new work that will move you to dance, cry, reminisce, laugh and celebrate.
