MANCHESTER’S FACTORY SOUNDS PROGRAMME APPLICATIONS ARE NOW LIVE

UPTO £11,000 OF GRANTS UP FOR GRABS

Musicians, record labels, DJs, producers are encouraged to apply for £11,000 of financial support and development opportunities

Factory International today announces the return of its Factory Sounds programme, supporting those in Manchester’s music scene in the creation of new projects.

Initially launched to support musicians through the Covid-19 pandemic, Factory Sounds is a programme for music producers, artists, collectives, labels, bands, DJs and beyond.

11 successful applicants will be offered £1,000 of financial support towards the creation of a new project and also benefit from peer-to-peer support, access to Factory International’s talent development programmes and networking opportunities. With no restrictions on what the project can be, previous Sounds alumni have created music management companies, financed the release of singles, EPs and albums, fitted our recording studios, run production workshops, and supported artists to tour.

Factory International is the organisation behind both Manchester International Festival (MIF), and the landmark new cultural space, Aviva Studios, designed by Office for Metropolitan Architecture (OMA), which has opened in the heart of Manchester, creating a global destination for arts music and culture.
