About our role
As sector lead we're the main point of contact for our partners in Manchester, across the UK and internationally.
We organise meetings with an inclusive Steering Group to make sure that any decisions are made with the most up-to-date industry knowledge from across Manchester.
We help to connect music projects in Manchester to contacts and funding opportunities. For example, through Manchester Music City we're proud to have supported the development of SEEN magazine.
