Bradford Music Network
We’re calling on musicians, rappers, producers, live music promoters, all those working in and those who support music in the city, to join the new Bradford Music Network.
The network will be open to anyone to join, and will provide an opportunity to connect with others in the District and wider region, stay informed of activities and opportunities, including funding, events and available support for artists and those working in music.
If you want to be part of the Bradford Music Network, join the mailing list using the form, and follow on social media using the buttons below:
Apply to be part of the Bradford Music Steering Group
Guiding the network, and supporting development of Bradford’s music sector, will be a steering group that will work with Bradford Council, Bradford Producing Hub and other local and national organisations to create new opportunities for the region and promote the amazing music stories from the District with support from the Music Instigator & Music Local.
This group will be limited in number, and be made up of those who can collaboratively represent the wide and diverse experiences of Bradford’s music sectors, from local grassroots through to those having a major impact on the regional and national music scene.
We are actively welcoming candidates who are currently under-represented in traditional arts decision making: anyone with a Black, Asian or ethnically diverse background, who self-identifies as LGBTQIA+, young people, is from lower socio-economic backgrounds and/or self-identifies as disabled.
Having worked with a range of local musicians, producers and music organisations to launch this initiative, we are now looking for anyone who is interested in joining the steering group to apply by sending us a written or video submission
The deadline for submissions will be 5pm, Friday 18th December.
At present, the expectation is for the steering group to meet every 2 months in an online format. The steering group is voluntary and unpaid, but where there are financial or access barriers to engagement, this will be addressed to ensure the Steering Group is inclusive and representative of the sectors.
The steering group will be selected by representatives from Bradford Council, Bradford Producing Hub, Music Local and a representative of similar representative music bodies in the UK.

The Bradford Music Network and its Steering Group is being established by Bradford Council, and will be supported by Music Local and Bradford Producing Hub, as well as the newly recruited Music Instigator.
