Burley-in-Wharfedale-based modeller and YouTube sensation Michael Scott is building an N scale model of Bradford Cathedral during the UK City of Culture year, and tracking his progress over a series of videos that mix how it’s done with information about the history and construction of the building.

Recently we welcomed Robin Lowery-Morton to Bradford Cathedral as our Section Lead & Lay Clerk (Tenor). During a break at the Candlemas Come and Sing we got the chance to speak to find out more about them, starting with how they got into music.

In this edition of ‘Notes from an Organist’ we discover more about them, and what to expect from their recital, including playing the violin since being only three years old; working with the Chineke! Orchestra; and winning a composition competition.

In celebration of International Women’s Day this year and Bradford’s tenure as City of Culture 2025, we have chosen to highlight one of Bradford’s own remarkable women this year: Louisa Pesel. 

People training for ministry have the opportunity to spend two weeks learning and developing in the UK City of Culture 2025, thanks to a scheme running in the Bradford area of the Diocese of Leeds.

In the latest video, Michael adds the Lady Chapel.
