New streaming platform launches to showcase Greater Manchester’s best talent

May 12TH, 2021

The minds behind Greater Manchester’s trailblazing United We Stream (UWS) have launched a streaming platform to showcase region’s emerging and established talent to the world, featured in The Manc.

The platform proved to be a wild success – reeling in millions of viewers and raising £583,000 throughout its run.

StreamGM will be picking up where UWS left off – offering a soapbox for singers, dancers, musicians, poets and artists across GM.

Andy Burnham – an early backer of the project – said that Stream GM would “play an essential role in our recovery throughout 2021.”

The Mayor of Greater Manchester stated: “Many venues will not be able to reopen fully until the second half of the year.

“So, by prioritising digital development such as this, we can continue to support our culture sector so they can later support us all through our personal recoveries from what we have experienced through the pandemic.”
