THE long journey to turn the former Odeon in Bradford city centre into a live music venue has taken another step forward. The former cinema, which has been empty for two decades, will be reborn as Bradford Live - a major new live music venue. This week the latest planning application for the building was approved by Bradford Council. It called for slight amendments to the previously approved scheme, including the infilling of the central entrance to the building - which was created in the 1960s. The plans also called for a new exit door to the East elevation of the building.
