In 2008 a few of us got together because we were un-happy about the Bradford music scene not being taking seriously, and being classed as the shit neighboring good music scenes such as Leeds, Wakefield and Sheffield.
Anyone who was not wised up on Bradford would believe that Gareth Gates and that one from Girls Aloud, are the only good musical acts to come out of Bradford musically.
You’re wrong, Bradford actually has a thriving music scene packed full of bands, musicians and great venues.
We aim to bring exclusive interviews from the best acts in the U.K. to the people of Bradford. We also review and interview local bands to give them a chance for media attention they may not be able to receive anywhere else.
You may have assumed all teenagers from Bradford carried knives, played bassline on the back of the bus from their phones, and beat up old ladies, I would like to say that you are wrong, but you a probably right. Nevertheless we, a small group of who was often called ‘indie puffs’, aimed to point out to the rest of the teenagers that this music, art and fashion scene existed and let them know when, where and what they could do to get involved.
We also have a launch party gig every two months to go hand in hand with the release of our latest issue. These gigs aim to bring the best acts in the U.K. We also team up with other West Yorkshire promoters to but on some of the best gigs we can possibly do!
Beep! are always looking for people to get involved. If you are a teenager and want to voice your opinion, you are in the right place.
Musicians, writers, artists, designers, know-it-all-teens get in touch with us we would love to have you onboard!

A Celtic song written by French folk star Gilles Servat has been given an African makeover to benefit two worthy charities. “Le Pays” (This Land), written by Servat and Irish musical wizard Donal Lunny, speaks of the loneliness and isolation of migrant workers.
French interpreter and musician Phil Muriel translated the song into English, relating it to the heart wrenching experiences of asylum seekers who have fled persecution and torture only to face destitution and endless waiting for others to decide on their future in this country. Now Phil has recorded the song with the help of African drummers, giving it a completely different style and aiming to benefit two charities through record sales.
Phil declares: “I have the greatest admiration for the counsellors and volunteers from “The Medical Foundation for the Care of Victims of Torture” and “Justice First” who give of themselves, open their hearts and often, their homes, to help torture victims and asylum seekers; I want to do something to support their work”. Gilles Servat kindly gave his permission to translate his song, stating “I would like to express my admiration for the help you give to uprooted individuals who, unlike us, do not have the opportunity to return home. To buy the CD, please send cheque (£2.00 + 70pence postage) to:
