Opened in 1853, St George’s Hall is situated in the heart of Bradford City centre. A stunning Victorian Concert Hall it was the brainchild of Bradford Mayor, Samuel Smith conceived as a place where the communities of Bradford could gather to be inspired by the world’s best music and entertainment.
Today this vision continues and audiences are treated to a wide variety of events, from top comedians to wonderful family shows, fascinating talks and of course great music concerts. With world class acoustics St George’s Hall hosts a classical music season welcoming world renowned orchestras, including The Hallé to the stage.
To learn more about the history of St George’s Hall - the People’s Palace visit our Heritage website here.
From 2016 St George’s Hall underwent a 3 year major refurbishment, which was made possible by funding from Bradford Council and the National Lottery Heritage Fund.
The extensive refurbishment of this much loved building included a wide-range of work both to its exterior and interior. As well as major works to the roof, windows, electrics and stonework, the front-of-house areas have been increased, where possible, and have been decorated sympathetically to suit the heritage of the building. Brand new seats were installed and facilities were improved for customers with disabilities including an installation of a lift (inside the venue from the main bar to stalls level), more wheelchair positions and easy access toilet facilities.

Do you the old remains of Victorian buildings of Bradford? Check our playlist here th-cam.com/play/PLZLfQV_POnRrw_h-GEybQtToaBQpiFTTo.html
My Grandma and I saw Ken Dodd at St. George’s around 83 , the Hall erupted with laughter all night , great memories. Great show Thankyou
Thank you 👍🏼 for the comment 🙏
As a schoolboy I sang in the choir behind the Halle Orchestra, circa 1960. The memory is still fresh in my mind.
Just discovered your fantastic channel, guys! I've lived in or near Bradford all my life. I'm 71 now and really enjoying finding out things I didn't know. I saw Emerson Lake and Palmer there twice back in the day and, although I've been many times since then, I still associate the place with them.
Excellent, and thanks for connecting.
Enjoy our content . 😊
Another wonderful vlog, grew up watching many bands here in the 70s and 80s “magic times” thank you.
(Also so saw my favourite band here “Queen” ended up seeing them 23 times)
Queen? WOW!
You have great taste in music.
My favourite too.
Thanks for watching 👀👍
That was interesting, been in there so many times for gigs, sadly they dwindled out which is the fault of the booking agent who should have kept bringing bands back.
Nowadays we have to travel to other cities to see bands when they could be booked to play here in a better historic venue.
Maybe an update vlog on the Odeon would be great.
Thanks.
Thanks for sharing your experience and watching the film.
We have a few venues planned in the near future 👍
I went in 1988 to see The Stranglers was my fist proper concert with a big band they didn't disappoint,such a fantastic building i always admired this building when i worked worked in Bradford town centre, Bradford needs to pick itself up and make us bradfordiens proud again of our stunning city
Fingers crossed 🤞 . It's a Great City. 👍🏾
Thanks for watching 👀
I did some Irish dancing at a concert there as a child in the late 1950s or early 60s.
Great building. Many of my older family members saw bands such as Free, Mott the Hoople, Yes, Genesis with Peter Gabriel, ELP, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple and many many more. The acoustics are top class. It has recently been refurbished, it deserves better bookings than what has been booked in recent years. Just finished watching the video, excellent with great content.
Hi, some great bands you have mentioned there.
Thanks for your comment and your feedback is important. 👍
I remember seeing morrisey in the 90s and Billy connoley. I used to like going to the record fairs in the 90s too.
Thank you
Been watching the channel for a while now. It just gets better and better. The Trafalgar video was awesome. In addition to commenting on Bradfords elites you never forget those less fortunate. Always sticking up for the under dog! Keep up the fantastic channel lads. Perhaps you. could do a video on your part in Bradfords history?
Thank you for your encouraging words.
Makes its all worthwhile bringing these videos.
Your suggestion is noted 😉
Thanks.
I saw Gary glitter and his band here in the early 70s . Also saw Paul young in the late 80s
Very interesting video, I didn’t realize the building was so old. We saw the Everly brothers, Duane Eddy, Hank Marvin and Brian Bennett there. It was good to see what the acts see when on stage.
Thanks for your comment and sharing the memories,
Have the Halle Orchestra returned? I never experienced such a memorable concert than their performance of Tchaikovsky’s Fourth Symphony at St George’s in the early ‘80’s. The acoustics were phenomenal…
Again another great video this time of the old st georges hall
In 1976 i was a punk and went to see the best band of my youth
The clash
I also went to see
The boomtown rats in this great hall happy memories
Again..
Great names from the past.
Thanks for commenting and watching.

It's definitely had a good share of celebrities.

Loved watching this. My Grandad said he watched Pinocchio there. I assume it was 1940
Thank you 😀

Me and my late dad always went to see the wrestling here every fortnight in the 70's and 80's🥲
Just like me.
Great days. Thanks 👍🏾
We went to a few pantomimes in the early 1980s. The last time I was there was in 2012 when I went to the David Essex concert with my sister.
Thanks for sharing the memories 😊
They are few posters from the late 1950s and early 60s. Cliff Richard and the Drifters, in 1959, and Jerry Lee Lewis in 1962, somehow you miss them, but i'm not too surprise

I SAW THE WRESIing AND MY ONE OF MY CHILDEN GOT HERE GRADES THEY
Wrestling was iconic 👏
Civic pride.! 2 things lads,wrestling,I thought there would be a picture of the great Les Kelley,wasn't he a Bradford lad.? And recently did a chandelier fall during a brass band concert..? It would be interesting to know what piece of music they were playing at that moment.!
Thank you
I saw Leo sayer here in the 1970’s
Thank you
As well as Iron Maiden, the other giant and grandfather of Metal that played there many times including recently is Judas Priest. Other notable names include Yngwie Malmsteen and MSG.
