I invite you all to a special revival of Bradford's famous HEART BEAT which opened it's doors in 1966. The event is a special tribute to the memory of Steve Dalton who was an inaugural DJ at the original HEART BEAT club, as well as, at the time, been one of the early, in-crowd "faces" of BRADFORD'S flourishing, 60's MOD scene.
