LIVE music has returned to Bradford venues - and this month saw queues around the block for Nick Cave at St George’s Hall.

We’ve dipped into our archive to look back at excited fans queuing to see their rock and pop heroes over the years at the concert hall.

Pictured above is Darius Danesh, who shot to fame on Pop Idol in 2001. A couple of years later he performed at St George’s Hall - and delighted waiting fans with this surprise appearance outside the venue.

Peter Andre fans are pictured outside St George’s Hall back in 2010. The singer treated them to new tracks and hits - including the crowd-pleaser Mysterious Girl.

Also pictured above are Genesis fans queueing for tickets for the supergroup’s concert at St George’s Hall in January, 1980, and fans waiting to see David Bowie when came to St George’s Hall on his Tin Machine tour in 1989.

Four hours before the Bowie show started, around 100 fans had crowded around the stage door to watch the arrival of the rock legend. When Bowie’s tour bus pulled up he jumped off, wearing shades and a baggy cricket sweater, and smiled briefly before disappearing into the concert venue.

You can probably tell from the T-shirt which Irish crooner these ladies (see above) were waiting to see...Daniel O’Donnell fans headed for St George’s Hall in 1993 to see him in action.

And Take That fans packed onto Broadway to meet their heroes back in November 1992. The lads had played at Maestro in Manningham a few months previously, and were starting to become the biggest boy band of the Nineties. Were you there?
