KEIGHLEY musician Johnny Bedford has released a new single to raise money for the Yorkshire Air Ambulance.

Bad Kind of Man, the second single from his album The Last Man, was recorded under Johnny's pseudonym of Dead Freedom.

The musician and busker recorded the song during the lockdown as part of his collaborative project for his studies on the Creative Industries course at Bradford College.

Johnny has also struck a distribution deal for his debut album with music giants HMV.

Bad Kind of Man is available for streaming on all major streaming platforms and his website deadfreedom.com from Friday August 14.

Dead Freedom will also perform a life-stream gig on Facebook on August 14 at 7.30pm, with people able to donate to the Yorkshire Air Ambulance.

Johnny said: "The music video is aimed at raising awareness of keeping motorcyclists safe on our roads. 

"The Yorkshire Air Ambulance does amazing work, and as a biker it's reassuring to know they are there should anything bad ever happen whilst we are all out riding."

As Dead Freedom, Johnny recently secured a placement for his track The Road on an Amazon Prime TV show called Keeping Wood, which promotes talented actors and actresses from across the Aire Valley.
