Sign up to get involved
Join us to strengthen the local music scene, improve your skills and make meaningful connections.
We're creating the Manningham Music Database to connect local musicians and venues for future live music programming. This database will serve as a central hub for opportunities and collaborations within the Manningham community.
We'll begin programming as expressions of interest come in, so get yours in today.
Musicians, song writers and music industry professionals
Musicians, bands, song writers, music industry professionals, producers and acts will have the chance to participate in paid events, connect with other local industry professionals, build their experience and contribute to the growth of the local live music scene.
Businesses and venues
If you run a local space that could be used for live music, or if you already book live shows in your venue, we want to hear from you.
You don't need to be a traditional live music venue to take part, you may have just a small space within your café, gallery or retail or service area that could make a great little performance area.
Our Venues Liaison Officer can provide guidance and connect you to local musicians, other businesses and industry professionals through the program.
