☕️ It's notoriously difficult to list or preserve the intangible heritage of caffs, so this is an interesting curatorial alternative. The Fountains Coffee House & Grill in Bradford's Oastler Centre opened 1968 and closed 2023. Now several original fixtures have gone on display at @BradfordMuseums

Thanks to @azizibrahim56 for a great audio visual performance #CliffeCastle echos of history met the rhythm of virtuoso artistry transcending genres, generations and cultures #SoundofHeritage #DesiGuitR #LordOfTheStrings #azizibrahim supported by @ace_national @BradfordMuseums

@JohnMcArts Congratulations to you both🥂

A bit of news 📰 - after 23 glorious years together, Alice et moi finally tied the knot 🪢💍 at a tiny civil ceremony in Lancaster, the splendid city where we first met 🏰. We aim to have a proper friends & family wedding party hopefully next year, so watch this space 🎊🔎

@sicunninghamBD Like many working in Bradford’s cultural sector I’m very sorry to hear the news, particularly ahead of 2025. You’re an excellent advocate for the city, especially its heritage, and have always appreciated your interest and support. Hope you’re back soon.

@nic_greenan Hi Nic, hope all going well in your new role, sounds a great opportunity and less LA politics to navigate presumably (and a belated congrats!) I didn’t get this ☝️I’m not knowingly menopausal!
