StreamGM Joins Forces with The Manc’s Audio North

StreamGM’s media partner The Manc Group has launched a new Audio North platform, and both organisations will work in harmony to promote and showcase the diversity of the Northern music scene.

With a combined 2.3 million followers across The Manc’s social media platforms and a million website users each month, Audio North is dedicated to showcasing the best of the music scene up North - it’s a perfect alignment with StreamGM’s ongoing mission to celebrate our local music scene and culture.

Building on the existing partnership with StreamGM, the two platforms will work collaboratively to amplify Northern music through StreamGM’s various music strands, such as indie music series Spill The Sound and underground live-streamed clubbing series, MainRoom. 

Laura Graham, StreamGM’s Producer explains: “The North has always produced a rich source of incredible music, and StreamGM has enjoyed a long-standing partnership with The Manc Group because we share an innate passion, pride and dedication to the region’s scene.

“Having worked with The Manc Group on a number of very successful music and cultural campaigns over the years, StreamGM is thrilled about the launch of Audio North, and we are here for it! 

“Together, StreamGM and Audio North will promote the diversity and global acclaim of our local music and culture. This will include exclusive, collaborative content with two of StreamGM’s biggest online music series: Spill The Sound – a northern indie music show presented by Louise Schofield that platforms renowned and breakthrough talent, and MainRoom; our live-streamed underground clubbing series that brings grassroots northern dancefloors to living rooms across the world, featuring exciting new DJs and club nights from across the region.”

Abbie Bartlett, head of brand at The Manc Group, continues: “We’re so proud of our northern roots and our home cities, and especially the world-famous music scenes that exist here.

“From The Leadmill to the AO Arena, Night & Day Cafe to the First Direct Arena, The Cavern Club to Brudenell Social Club, we can’t wait to show off all the places and events that make the North such a vibrant and lively place to live. 

“Nothing can compare to the buzz of seeing live music, but we hope through Audio North we can provide the next best thing to being inside an actual concert.

“It’s about time we change the London-centric narrative around the UK’s music scene and bring all eyes up North.”

StreamGM is in pre production for series two of Spill The Sound. The 6-part show will TX in Jan 25 on The Manc’s website, StreamGM’s and Youtube channel. The show will feature epic live music sessions with some of the north’s biggest and best indie music stars and bath tub chats with presenter Louise.
