BEE Loud!

BEE Loud! Women, Music & Manchester celebrates the women helping to shape Manchester’s distinctive and ever-evolving music scene. From the city’s Northern Soul heritage and its strong tradition of musical independence to emerging female artists finding their voice today, the magazine explores how music creates identity, community and a powerful sense of civic pride.

Alongside celebrating Manchester’s musical culture, it also looks at the realities facing women in the industry – from opportunities to perform and the cost of gigs to representation and equality. Through personal perspectives, an artist spotlight and research with gig-goers, BEE Loud! champions the creativity, resilience and voices of women who are contributing to Manchester’s musical future.
