On the 25th September 2021 at The Holy Name of Jesus Church in Manchester, JBMS held the first ever concert in honour of John Bradburne’s life. World renowned composers and musicians took part in an afternoon of pure musical joy and wondrous poetry. Composers set to music some of John’s poetry that was performed by the Bury Choral Society, the Didsbury String Quartet, Adam Beattie, Gabriel Moreno and the Zimbabwe Catholic Community Choir, alongside poetry readings by Professor David Crystal and Reverend Rod Garner and many more.
