Bradford Music Network x Launchpad is produced by Bradford Music Network, Bradford Producing Hub and Launchpad.
Bradford Producing Hub is an exciting four-year project that aims to make sure Bradford is a creative city where lots of amazing live performance is happening all the time.
BPH is a pilot project that will test radical new approaches to producing live arts, supporting creative talent, developing a local arts workforce, and partnering with communities across Bradford to reimagine the city as a thriving hub for performance.
BPH is led by a consortium of Bradford organisations and artists: Theatre in the Mill (lead), Mind the Gap, Kala Sangam, 154 Collective, Common Wealth and Displace Yourself – but the project is for everyone interested in making and seeing more live arts in Bradford.
Launchpad is delivered by Music Local to support the music sector throughout Yorkshire with public funding from the National Lottery through Arts Council England and PRS Foundation’s Talent Development Partnership supported by PPL as well as additional regional partners.
