‘Gail told the Telegraph & Argus: "We are incredibly grateful for the support Bradford Music Month has received so far - our Garden Of Eden event, which consisted of intimate, stripped back performances and music-led well-being workshops across two days, drew people as far as Sheffield into the city to enjoy just a snippet of some of the incredible musicians we have within our city’.

 

‘The first Bradford Music Month took place in 2022 - and with 2025 UK City of Culture nearing, the team hopes the initiative will become a regular date in the area's cultural calendar in the future.’ Telegraph & Argus

 

‘Bradford Music Month is an attempt to celebrate and platform the city’s creative communities, the people who are helping to create a brand new soundtrack for this Northern hub’.

 

‘We started to develop the idea for Music Month when Bradford Festival ceased to exist, as Bradford did not have its own, stand-alone Music Festival that incorporates multiple genres. Seeing this gap in the district, along with a shortfall of opportunities for young and emerging musicians to help develop and hone their craft, Music Month was born – and here we are, hoping to shine a light on some of the brilliant things happening here!’ Clash Magazine
