Bradford Women Singers brings together music, politics and friendship. We sing about what is important to us: injustice and war, the earth, love and hope.
We are…
Suzanne Booth, Carol Hayward, Anahita Hayrabedian, Juliet Prager, Helen Blackwell, Mary Dowson
We learn songs by ear – we don’t have a leader and rarely use written music. As well as singing and developing new songs, we spend time talking, eating and drinking together – and go on the occasional demonstration. Bradford Women Singers has been together – in different formations – since 1984.

Hazjak are Yorkshire duo Steve Chapman Smith and Lynne O'Malley, both well known and respected musicians on the Northern acoustic scene.
Together they play an eclectic style of Roots, Americana and Folk music.
Steve – vocals, guitar, banjo, bouzouki, bass and mandolin. Lynne – vocals, piano, tenor guitar, banjo, percussion, whistle and harmonica, and of course Hazjak's trademark harmonies.
Hazjak released their debut album “Listerville” in December 2020 to great critical acclaim, including a 4 star review in R and R magazine.
“Uplifting evening of most enjoyable music by Hazjak... Brilliant
entertainment and great fun as always... You really take the listener with you”
