An on-line forum has been set up to help Bradford bands promote their music.

The Yorkshire Collective lists many of the venues, promoters, studios and bands in the county.

The site was set up by musician Dave Zdanowicz, who lives in Woodside, Bradford, and plays in a band called Accolade.

"It grew so increasingly frustrating trying to make a name and get gigs that I thought of this idea," he said.

"The site basically allows all these kinds of people to find each other easily, hopefully bringing together the music scene and giving bands of this area a better chance of gaining opportunity with promotion."

He said all genres of music could be featured on the site, to which bands can sign up for free.

A weekly feature on four listed artists runs on the site each week.
