WW1 artefacts to be digitised at Bradford City Hall

Darley Street set to be transformed under new market plans Bradford Council Executive is set to approve proposals to create a major new public space supporting the development of the Bradford city centre markets.

Initial plans to develop a market in the former M&S building have now been expanded to include 8 and 10-14 Darley Street.

The extra space will allow the food market to face onto the dynamic new public space which will host outdoor markets and specialist open air events bringing more people into the city centre and adding to Bradford’s draw as a shopping and leisure destination.

The additional land will allow the food market to be larger and provide dedicated underground servicing for deliveries and storage facilities. It will also increase the visibility of Piccadilly, which is home to a number of high quality Victorian buildings.

It will make Piccadilly more desirable for redevelopment, particularly for residential uses in the heart of the redeveloped city centre.

A Council Executive Report recommends the authority negotiates purchasing properties adjacent to the former M&S building and has requested approval for Compulsory Purchase Orders which could be used if needed.

Coun Alex Ross-Shaw, Portfolio Holder for Regeneration, Planning and Transport, said: “We want to create a vibrant and attractive transformational public space on Darley Street, which will support the new food market but also transform Darley Street and showcase the fantastic Victorian buildings on Piccadilly by making them a lot more visible.

On Saturday 2 February, members of the public across Yorkshire will bring in their WW1 artefacts, to be digitised as part of a campaign to preserve memories of the Great War. Lest We Forget: Keep Their Stories Alive is an ambitious project, run in partnership between the Commonwealth War Graves Foundation and the University of Oxford to create a national digital archive.

Hosted at Bradford City Hall, the public will be met by a team of experts and trained volunteers, where they will learn more about their artefacts and each item will be accurately recorded into the archive.The Lord Mayor, Councillor Zafar Ali will be in attendance.

Previous Lest We Forget events have seen members of the public bringing in rare objects, such as an original WW1 grave marker.

Bring Back Blaise!

In a recent chat with Glyn Watkins, Little Horton based poet and showman, he was talking (as he often does) about Bradford’s History, and was telling stories about characters he remembered around the city centre when he first arrived here in the late Seventies. He said,“Of course, you don’t see many eccentrics around now.”

He seemed quite surprised by the almost choking snorts of laugher and disbelief that greeted his statement. The irony of the fact that he is known to sometimes walk around Bradford dressed as a fluorescent yellow Bishop carrying a vicious, iron looking, comb; and at other times he can be seen carrying a pie a foot or more wide; may have escaped him.

What is clear to anyone who listens to Glyn for any length of time is his knowledge and passion for Bradford’s history. A passion that has driven him to create two ‘festivals’. His ‘Pie and Priestley (celebrating the birthday of J.B.Priestley and a meat and potato pie that defined Hitler)’ on 13 September, which is the reason for him wandering around with a massive pie.

His Bring Back Blaise Festival (celebrating Wool and Bradford’s Forgotten Saint) is the reason for his fluorescent Bishop and it looks like it might have helped him create a big, and possibly permanent, addition to Bradford’s cultural life.

Blaise was an Armenian Bishop who was martyred in the early 4th Century after, apparently, being tortured with woolcombs.

This made him the Patron Saint of woolcombers.

Woolcombing is a critical part of the wool trade, and used to be done by men who’d served a seven year apprenticeship.

Woolcombers across the country celebrated Blaise’s day on the 3 February, but Bradford’s was the biggest and best. There were over a thousand people from all parts of the

10

trade in the procession for Bradford’s last big celebration, unfortunately that was in 1825! Just afterwards the woolcombers and handloom weavers went on strike, and lost.

After that Bishop Blaise faded from memory.

If he is remembered at all it’s as the Patron of throat troubles. There are some street names and statues, and there was a Catholic middle school in Bierley, that closed down years ago.

There have even been at least a couple of attempted revivals but nothing in recent times until Glyn started weaving a decade or so ago.

On Sunday 3 February Bradford Industrial Museum will not only be celebrating Blaise and wool for the second time (the last was in 2017) but will be hosting the Back Blaise Wool Festival, Bradford’s first ever! Not only that, if this year’s works the Museum has made a commitment to having a Blaise Wool Festival on every first Sunday in February.

The event will included stalls selling all sorts of wool and wool crafts related stuff; demonstrations of both crafts and the Museum’s permanent exhibits; a pop-up bar run by former Sparrow man Les Hall; the Hall Royd Brass Band, and Bradford Voices choir; food stalls; alpacas; and Glyn wandering around in his Blaise brights, probably talking a lot.

As well as the Sunday, Glyn will be giving a free talk called Hallo Blaise Goodbye Salamander at the Salamander Brewery on Harry Street from 6pm on Friday 1 February.

Arts

Prospect Refuge Hazard Until 16 march, Impressions Gallery, Bradford

Working with video, photography and sound, internationally acclaimed artist Helen Sear invites the viewer into forests and woodlands to consider the co-existence of human, animal, and natural worlds.

Highlights of the exhibition include Wahaha Biota, a major new video commissioned by Forestry Commission England and Crescent Arts; Company of Trees, which premiered at the prestigious Venice Biennale as part of Wales in Venice; and Paintball Pictures, exhibited for the first time.

For over thirty years, Helen Sear has been making artworks about how humans experience landscape and nature. Prospect Refuge Hazard is titled after Jay Appleton’s influential theories on our deep-seated responses to the dangers of the natural environment, and why we find certain environments beautiful.

14

The film Wahaha Biota (2018, 27 mins) was made during a year-long residency in Dalby Forest, North Yorkshire, and responds to the diverse activities that take place in the forest.

A soundtrack mingles birdsong and deer calls with snippets of lyrics from the many rock concerts staged in the forest, all forming a human dawn chorus. Company of Trees (2015, 11 mins) was inspired by walking near the artist’s home in rural Wales, and

features an enigmatic woman in a red dress who circles around beech trees branded with tree fellers’ numbers. Presented as largescale projections with timed screenings, the two films offer viewers the chance to be fully immersed in the forest and experience the environment in new and sometimes surprising ways. Paintball Pictures (2018) is a series of 24 photographs that have been produced especially for Impressions Gallery and have never been exhibited before.

Woodland scenes are transformed by the strange paraphernalia and brightly-coloured detritus of paintball battles, a leisure pursuit mirroring the system originally developed for forestry workers to mark trees.

Other works in the exhibition include Altar (2015, 8 mins), a vignetted film observing blue tits and coal tits; Stack (2015), an 8-metre long image presented on aluminium ‘planks’ that lean against the walls; and Becoming Forest (2017), a series of photographs in which tangles of new forest growth are digitally traced by the artist. www.impressions-gallery.com

Saltaire Vintage Home Fashion Fair at Victoria Hall Touchstone: Extraordinary Drawers!

30 March, 9.30am - 4pm Victoria Hall, Saltaire

From 8 February until 3 March Bradford Cathedral

With over 40 stalls of vintage loveliness for you and your home including genuine vintage fashion, such as 1940s tea dresses, 1950s prom gowns, jewellery, accessories, furniture, homewares, vintage vinyl, toys, books, kitchenalia and collectables, all from the 1920’s to the 1980’s.... This vintage fair is now in its 12th year!

From Touchstone comes a photographic exhibition that uses the hidden life contained within drawers to share insights into the everyday lives of ordinary people. Personal stories are so often private, but we invited people to share something of their ‘hidden’ lives by taking a photograph of a drawer that says something about them. We were given ordinary stuff that tells some extraordinary stories of life, faith and culture in Bradford.

Eat:Drink Bradford to launch new guide Bradford’s cafes, bars and restaurants will be celebrated with the launch of a new food & drink led visitor guide this Easter. Eat:Drink Bradford was initially launched in 2016, with a second volume following in autumn 2017. After 18 months of planning work is now underway on a third volume, which will be supported by an ambitious website that will include exclusive offers, interviews and video content.

The guide will include over 60 businesses representing the districts best cafes, bars, restaurants and local producers. Aimed at local residents looking to broaden their horizons as well as visitors, it is also being extended to also include local attractions and annual events.

The printed guide will be free to pick up from all participating venues and key visitor destinations across the district, with more than 10,000 available. Visitors to the website will be able to sign up to a monthly mailing list to receive exclusive news and offers from the Eat:Drink team, who will also be working on a range of merchandise and goodies designed for the Bradford foodie.

The project is a collaboration between Bradford-based publishing agency Festival Publications and Fox Duo design, who also produce the Bradford Review and the Saltaire Review.

Haigh Simpson, director of Festival Publications said, “We really wanted to do something special to build on the success of the previous two guides. Everyone we spoke to loved them and they are a fantastic entry point for anyone wanting to find out more about the districts food and drink scene.

We felt it was important to build an online platform to sustain that interest for the benefit of everyone featured in the guide...and for Bradford!”

The team are working with local filmmakers to produce video content to tie in with the launch and are on the lookout for writers with a passion for food and drink to join the review team. Expenses are paid and there’s a free meal in it too!

Any venues interested in featuring in the guide can contact Haigh at info@ eatdrinkguides.co.uk.

UNESCO City of Film to mark 10 year anniversary Bradford UNESCO City of Film marks its 10th anniversary this year with a series of celebrations, events and activities across the District.

The organisation’s director, David Wilson tells The Review what’s in store, “It was on June 8th 2009 that we received the incredible news that we’d been awarded the prestigious designation as a UNESCO City of Film. Not only that but we were the first English city to join the network and the first City of Film so it was a bit of a double celebration, “ reflects David who has been the director of the project since 2011.

“From the start, we saw the potential of joining the creative cities network. Ten years later we’re working alongside cities like Rome, Sydney and Qingdao in China so it’s really propelled us onto a world stage in terms of being able to develop shared cultural, educational and business opportunities for Bradford.”

When Bradford joined the network there were 37 creative cities and now there are 180 from 72 countries, all sharing a collective mission to place creativity at the heart of their strategy for local economic and social development. It’s a plan of action that Bradford UNESCO City of Film has adopted wholeheartedly. This is reflected in the diversity of their flagship projects in areas including: community, education, business, film and festivals.

“We’re a small team so we make the most of the strong partnerships we have across the District, from working with individuals leading small community projects, to large organisations who help deliver longer term

20

projects in education and business, “ says David, “so in marking the 10th anniversary, we’re celebrating and developing long term projects as well as starting new ones.

There’s also plenty of events to enjoy in the programme and I hope that everyone joins with us to celebrate.”

And even with a quick glance, the programme lives up to this aspiration, with many events also being free to attend. For anyone interested in film there are a series of exclusive talks on life working in the film and TV industry. The series “Screen Talk”, running throughout the year, will host guest speakers who have worked on productions including Top Gear, Peaky Blinders, Ackley Bridge and Eastenders. The programme also incorporates three festivals including a new Smart Phone Film Festival which is a first for Bradford.

And there are film production workshops, film screenings, exhibitions and even swing dancing, for those who thought film-based events are all sedentary experiences.

The 10th anniversary is also an opportunity to focus on Bradford UNESCO City of Film’s wider agendas for change. The programme features an education symposium which will consider the impact of mobile technology on teaching and learning and to mark International Women’s Day, a debate in partnership with BBC Radio Leeds to discuss the stubborn gender inequalities that still exist in the film and TV industry.

“There’s enough to keep us busy for the year,” smiles David full of enthusiasm,” and the good thing is it’s making us think about the next ten years so watch this space..” www.bradford.film

Theatre & Performance

Matilda The Musical at Alhambra Theatre

Luther Stringer is the titular head of a Yorkshire working-class family of wife and three daughters – one married, one engaged, one a student. His middle daughter’s “fiancy” is in bad odour with him for refusing to participate in a strike and being sent to Coventry. This, however, pales into insignificance before the hornet’s nest that is stirred up when Luther’s eldest daughter discovers an “unexpected item” in her father’s coat pocket. The women’s reaction is instant and their vengeance terrible – but the result is equally unexpected and perhaps unwelcome.

Avenue Q

Introducing…

Alex Asher Alex Asher is an 18 year old performance poet from Bradford.

He’s performed at venues and on on radio shows across West Yorkshire.

What influenced you to start writing?

Even in primary school, I loved writing long stories with imaginative plots.

Three years ago I joined my writing group in Bradford, where I started to develop my writing and steered towards poetry and developed my own style of writing.

Why do you write?

I write to share my experiences, and to help people to understand some of the more marginalised topics in my poems. I really enjoy performing, and hope that other people appreciate and enjoy my work

26-30 March The Alhambra Theatre

Who are your biggest influences?

Avenue Q is the laugh out loud show that’s had sell out runs on Broadway, in the West End and all across the UK and now you can see what all the fuzz is about. This cheekily charming musical tells the story of the loveable (and unforgettable) characters on a downtown New York street trying to make sense of life’s burning issues – like what do you do with a BA in English? How do you find your purpose? And is the internet really just for…nevermind.

A lot of my inspiration comes from my Young Writers group in Bradford City Library, where we have writing exercises. I also watch a lot of slam poetry on YouTube, I especially like Sonder who writes about his experience of being transgender. My piece Single to Glasgow was inspired by Sean Lionadh’s poem called Homophobia of 2018, which I found very moving.

Pepperland at Alhambra Theatre 2-3 April The Alhambra Theatre Mark Morris Dance Group’s unique tribute to the 50th anniversary of The Beatles’ Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, resounds with all the ingenuity, musicality, wit, and humanity for which the company is known. Pepperland features an original score by Ethan Iverson that blends arrangements of songs from the groundbreaking album with new Pepper-inspired pieces.

Which of your own poems do you love most?

I love Binary World, because it’s very accurate and also personal and expressive. I find it easier to communicate through poetry than through my own words, so Binary World is good as it helps people understand what I’m going through and what being transgender is really like. Streets of Fear is the most personal and honest piece I’ve published, as it explores my own experiences with mental health, which is not a topic I talk about a lot, but I felt that people would really benefit from hearing it.

What inspires your poetry?

I prefer to write about personal things, and have experience with, such as mental health, education and being transgender. I also write about subjects I’m passionate about, such as politics and stereotypes.

Tour support comes from DJs Copper Sounds who spin copper dubplates, ceramic pots, and heavy icelandic rocks, using these materials to create a primitive and tactile form of turntablism.

They will also lead a daytime workshop at each tour venue, where participants can design and cast their own playable wax 7” and take it home with them.
