We Need You!

If you attended/organised/performed/volunteered at the 1 in 12 Club, we’d love to talk to you about your memories of the venue, events and the community around it. Join us for an initial co-creating session to inform a new project that will celebrate the history and legacy of the 1 in 12 Club in Bradford. 

The club was formed by members of Bradford’s anarchist orientated Claimants Union in 1981. The immediate objectives of the club were to generate and sustain a social scene, accessible and affordable to both the low waged and unemployed. The expectation and hope was that this would in turn encourage the anarchist values of self-management, co-operation and mutual aid.

Alongside being a space for it’s community it also has a long history of as one of the main locations for the UK crust and anarcho-punk scene, and in the 1990s played host to much of the country’s hardcore DIY scene, plus was the home to so much more!
