Culture And Memory

Manchester Music Map

Manchester’s music history is globally renowned, but the city often struggles to convey its story cohesively. With our expertise in media production, archiving and technology, within extensive local and international music networks, we're spearheading a resilient way of sharing Manchester’s musical legacy. While names like Oasis and The Hacienda shine, the environments nurturing them often go unrecognised. Grassroots Northern Quarter venues, and institutions like RNCM shaped pivotal moments in Manchester music. Partnering with key collaborators including Manchester International Festival, MDMArchive, Toasted Productions and RNCM, we're preserving heritage collections through hands-on archiving, Augmented Reality and web experiences. On the streets, at home and in classrooms. With an online Digital platform presenting to audiences in new, engaging ways. Our track record of training over 300 individuals into meaningful careers helps continuity. Empowering the next generation with essential industry skills. Together, we're preserving music heritage, inspiring future creativity and fostering international connections.
