Un-Convention

Thanks to everyone who made it down to our summer Manchester Music Scene Social on Tuesday night.

It was great to have another packed out room, with people joining us from across the city, and further afield, everywhere from London and Brighton to Ukraine.

It was also great to hear about so many of the connections people have been making as a result of coming along over the years.

Thanks again to all the staff at New Century for making us feel so welcome, to Signature Brew for their help with it all, and also to the PRS Foundation and PPL for their support in making it possible.

We look forward to welcoming everyone to the next social in September - we’ll post details of that soon.

TONIGHT! Manchester Music Scene’s big summer social kicks off from 7pm this evening at

We have hundreds of people from across the city, and further afield joining us - if you’re coming along then we look forward to seeing you there.

Great to see some of our 2026 Un-Convention speakers recently announced as part of the prestigious Power Players List. For the last 18 years we’ve had the pleasure of bringing some of the most influential people in music together in Manchester to discuss key challenges and solutions, and to help build fairer, more accessible and equitable industry.

We’re very excited to have Tom, Annabella and Jon with us this October, and look forward to announcing a whole host of other brilliant speakers from across the industry soon.
