stir crazy in bradford

it was only the other day when chatting with some friends that i realised we’ve now been based on the east coast longer than in the city, which i guess makes us a bonafide north yorkshire coast business. without getting too self-analytical i think electric angel is a mix of city thinking and coast attitude so for me though there’s a sense that our spiritual home is still west yorkshire. so whenever there’s something happening in leeds or bradford that i can’t get to i start to miss the city.

at the moment i’m missing ‘stir’ – a mix of music, art and film happening in bradford city centre. the centenary square area strikes me as a rather successful piece of town planning, great for relaxing with a coffee or pint and contrary to bradford’s sometimes ropey reputation events in the city centre have a great vibe. this weekend you can check out some fab sounding stuff include ‘fresh milk’ – billed as ibiza on a milk float, and ‘this is not cannes’ – a premiere of specially comissioned film shorts screened on the large screen in centenary square. full details at: bradfordsummerevents.com/stir/
