Fire and drums as first singer performspublished at 16:13 GMT 20 December
A burst of drums signals the first performer to the stage – solo singer Supriya Nagarajan.
Mumbai-born Supriya is a classically-trained singer who has performed all over the world and runs Manasamitra, an arts organisation based in Dewsbury.
As the audience cheers on, she is joined by three bikers bearing fire.
She is later joined by the community cast, encouraging Bradford to share in this moment and celebrate the end of the year.
An impressive start!
