Current members of the group include vocalist-lyricist Ian Hodgson and musicians Ewan Butler and Stephen Street.

[3] Street produced the major share of Bradford's material during their two-year association before the band signed with Sire Records/Warner Bros. Records.

The band toured extensively during their early years and supported artists including Primal Scream, Joe Strummer, The Sugarcubes and James.

In the interim years Hodgson formed the band Acoustic Uprising, and played guitar for On Parole, a tribute to The Clash.

Since August 2011 he has been playing keyboards, guitar and mandolin for Northern-folk-rooted rock band Dave Rowley's Black Country.
