Blood on the Dance Floor
The unsolved murder of Darren Bradshaw, a police officer shot in a ground-breaking gay bar. Jordan Dunbar investigates how DJs, drag queens and dancers fought back against hate.
An unsolved murder in a ground-breaking gay bar. Darren Bradshaw was a young, gay police officer enjoying a night out when a republican gunman walked into the crowded bar, shot him next to the dance floor and escaped into the night. The killing came at a pivotal time for both the gay scene in Northern Ireland and the peace process. The murder shattered the gay scene as rumours swirled about who knew he was in the bar and who may have betrayed him. Jordan Dunbar hears from the DJs, drag queens and police officers who were there – and who helped the LGBT community rebuild.
