We put on concerts, workshops and festivals across Greater Manchester. Everyone is welcome, and most of what we do is made by the people who turn up to it.
"Art belongs to everyone. Not just the people who can afford a ticket, and not just the people who already know the words."
The idea we started withWe are community-led, which in practice means the programme comes from the people who attend it. Someone suggests an idea. If enough of us want to see it happen, we find a room and make it happen.
That approach has produced more than 100 events so far, from Persian classical concerts to painting mornings for kids. Some drew a full house. Some drew nine people and a lot of tea.

We run on volunteers and small budgets. If you can give time, a room, a skill or funding, it goes straight into the next event rather than into overheads.
