The Bradford Progress reaches Bradford Industrial Museum for a powerful celebration of singing, storytelling and people power.

Jennifer Reid, singer of Victorian and Industrial Revolution broadside ballads, will be joined by Fagley Primary School Choir, Queer of Hearts, Seraph and others to perform music that resonates with the district’s industrial heritage – set against the backdrop of the museum’s extraordinary collections.

Every musical moment on The Bradford Progress is free with no booking required – feel free to drop in to the Museum at any time. Please note, capacity is limited so at busy times you may need to wait.

Part of The Bradford Progress, an unbroken two-day musical journey across Bradford District created by Paraorchestra, artistic director Charles Hazlewood, artist Jeremy Deller and the people of Bradford.
