In 1972, a commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men (and women) promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Bradford Underground....... today we caught the last of our courtyard kittens, and they have been suitably *locked back up.

*They have been rehomed with very loving families who are thrilled and have promised to send us updates, and we already have some very cute photos back! Thank you to everyone who respected their welfare and left them be while we built the trust needed to catch them. However now our team are very sad to no longer be foster kitty parents - so please share your pet pictures here.

In addition, we want to say a massive thank you to Angela who has helped us catch the little munchkins this week - she does this tirelessly with no financial support, buying all the traps, boxes, training pads and food out of her own money to try support rehoming kittens, or catching feral cats to receive medical treatment / neutering before rerelease (not all feral cats can be domesticated). If anyone wants to donate pet food, cat boxes or other supplies, or support her work in any way, including potentially becoming a foster themselves, please reach out and we can help pass on any offers of support to her directly.

Now we will crack a jagerbomb to the closure of one of the more unusual chapters of the Underground's story - what a wild ride.

Oh, and there's an acoustic open mic tonight in Platform Bar - come watch music, or play music. It's fun. Absolutely nobody crack out Smelly Cat.

Come show Josh some birthday love!

It's Thursday - which is arguably the best Friday of the week. And it's Josh McDonald's birthday week. So if you're not coming down to buy him a shot, what are you even doing with your Thursday?!?

And look, he looks so friendly and approachable!

It's Big Man's birthday!

The UG OG has successfully survived another year of our nagging, weird ideas and never ending To Do list.

Happy Birthday, Boss Man!

ANNOUNCEMENT! SPREAD THE WORD!

We're delighted to announce Bradford Pride is happening Saturday 15th August 12-6pm

Bradford Pride is a celebration of our diverse LGBTQ+ community and everyone who stands with us. We can't wait to come together for a day of pride, visibility, entertainment, community and joy.

This year is especially significant because Bradford Pride is being delivered without public funding. Every aspect of the event is made possible through the generosity of community organisations, volunteers and individuals who believe that Pride matters. This is why we are having to announce the date with such short notice. We needed to ensure we had raised some of the funds to put this free event on.

If you'd like to support Bradford Pride, either by sponsoring the event, fundraising, or making a donation, we'd love to hear from you. Your support will help ensure Pride remains free, inclusive, and accessible to everyone.

More information about performers, activities and stalls will be announced soon.

🐈🐈 PSA 🐈🐈

Yes, we know they are there. And yes, we know they are very, very cute. We feed them regularly and check in daily.

But they are currently scared of humans as they have never had human contact, so if every slightly drunk person continues to try and get to them, this will not change, and we will not be able to rehome them.

So far we have had no luck with cat rescues. Believe me, we have tried. So will somebody *PLEASE* think of the kitties, and just let them be while we navigate trying to build trust and finding a rescue to take them, thank you.

The bosses are away for the most part this weekend.

These boys (and the rest of the team) have pinkie promised they're going to be on best behaviour, and we believe them.

So here's what's coming up at The Underground this weekend -

Friday - Club Night 11pm-5am
Saturday - Shadowfest from 3.30pm, with Club Night straight after until 5am

Platform Bar is open all week, including the England game from 10pm Saturday

And Angel Of The Odd is open Wednesday to Saturday

And they're going to be on best behaviour, they promised, and we definitely believe them.
