Description
Music historian and 1 in 12 Club founder Gary Cavanagh joins cultural commentator Mark Goodall to explore Noise of the Valleys – the definitive chronicle of Bradford’s underground music scene.
Drawing on decades of research and lived experience, Cavanagh brings to life the city’s rich sonic history, from punk and post-punk to folk, indie, and early rave. With Noise of the Valleys: Volume Three due for release this summer, the pair will discuss the bands, venues, and stories that shaped a city’s sound.
A must for music lovers, this event celebrates Bradford’s rebellious energy and creative legacy.
