A POPULAR DJ from Bradford will be brought back to his nightclub one last time before his funeral this Friday.

Glenville 'Glenny' Atkinson, 36, sadly passed away earlier this month after a cardiac arrest.

Due to Covid-19 restrictions his friends will not be allowed to attend the funeral service with only close family in attendance.

His mum, Carole Freeman, wanted to find a way for those who knew him to say goodbye and has arranged a funeral procession.

The funeral car will drive DJ Glenny past the former Envy Nightclub - now renamed Glenny's Nightclub - around 1.30pm on Friday, June 26, before he is laid to rest.

His long-time friend Jonathan Kirk became business partners with Glenny in 2018, a year after Envy first opened.

"He was a Bradford bassline pioneer," Jonathan said.

He told the Telegraph & Argus: "I've seen a lot on Facebook saying if you're from Bradford and you don't know Glenny you're not from Bradford. That's how much of an impact that man had in Bradford.

"You'd go out on a weekend and know there was a bar he was playing in.

"It was his craft. He was happy there (DJ-ing). That's what he loved doing."
