The Bradford Progress: Undercliffe to The Broadway
Paraorchestra with Charles Hazlewood, Jeremy Deller & the people of Bradford.
The Bradford Progress marches through the streets into the heart of the city.
Day two of The Bradford Progress begins with a musical procession through residential streets between Undercliffe Cemetery and the Broadway.
We’ll be setting off from Undercliffe Cemetery around lunchtime and heading south-west towards The Broadway, with a soundtrack provided by two of Bradford’s musical treasures: the dhol-drum dynamos of Punjabi Roots and the Revolution Show Corps marching band.
Every musical moment on The Bradford Progress is free with no booking required. Look and listen out for us as we make our way through Undercliffe ahead of our big finale at The Broadway and City Park.
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.
Check out the rest of The Bradford Progress below.
