Following a remarkable 12 month journey of mentorship at Reform Radio, we are delighted to bring you the final showcase of Soundcamp 2023 on the 25th of October, at Blues Kitchen Manchester.
This one-night exclusive event marks the end of our renowned artist development programme, Soundcamp, which is funded by Youth Music and held in partnership with Thirty Pound Gentleman. Soundcamp offers 16-25 year olds extensive mentorship with established music industry professionals, Jenna G, Werkha and Anna McLuckie, and offers high quality access to work and insight into the music industries. Mentees have to opportunity to develop their music and songwriting, collaborate with a range of professionals, attend masterclasses and hands-on coaching.
In celebration of completing their incredible year of progress, our Soundcamp artists have each teamed up with one of a collection of Manchester’s favourite artists to write and perform an original track live. The evening will be the first opportunity to hear these tracks, and witness the beginning of some formidable artists’ journeys.
The Manchester favourites joining the collective are of all genres and artistic backgrounds. HERchester leader OneDa, Superlative, Kin Kai, Contours and Meduulla make up one half of the artists.
Meanwhile, there will also be Sarah Angel, Iora, Blind Mic, Anna McLuckie and Mattu joining the Soundcamp finalists.
Tickets are available here for free or you can pay as you feel to support this brilliant initiative. This is the perfect time to catch some new talent before anybody else and witness a collection of iconic pairings live on stage.
We are delighted to invite you all to this Melting Pan & Terra Nova Productions adaptation of 2018’s stage production of Me You Us Them, previewing exclusively at Reform Radio, on Thursday the 12th of October at 6.30pm.
The production will bring characters to life from various cultures in Northern Ireland, including voices and experience from Nigeria, rural Armagh, Belfast, China, Jamaica and Donegal. Informed by conversations with real people from across Northern Ireland, the piece has been curated through Terra Nova’s ethical intercultural practice. Experience the angry, funny, hopeful and heartfelt voices of complex characters, which make an extraordinary difference to those we usually witness on main stages.
The Me You Us Them creative team is led by mixed-race actor-director-producer Melissa Dean, supported by Andrea Montgomery. Through the process, the pair discovered new ways of sharing theatre on film, as they took ownership of sound scope and production elements, making it an exciting immersive adaptation to delve into as an audience member.
As racism and fascism is continually rising across the post-pandemic world, the accounts of racial experience in Northern Ireland through the production are strikingly important and current. This marks the piece as a necessary production to experience, in hearing real stories of racism, identity and sense of belonging.

This year, October marks Black History Month 2023 and this year’s theme is ‘Saluting Our Sisters’. The theme is a gracious nod to the crucial role that Black women have played in shaping history, inspiring change, and building communities, alongside highlighting the #WEMATTER campaign which amplifies and notices the vitality of their voice. Not only this, but this year’s campaign also aims to challenge the systems that oppress Black women and actively inspire future generations.
Black History Month is a momentous occasion to recognise and celebrate the invaluable contributions of Black people to British society. From looking back to the historical impacts of Black individuals, to celebrating the work and motions of them today, to looking forward and empowering future recognition of such individuals, Black History Month encourages a necessary acknowledgement of the Black community.
In honour of the occasion, Reform will have collated a list of events around the North West to attend in celebration of Black History Month. Check them out below and be sure to show up and support the #WEMATTER movement.
This year, Manchester Museum will be holding three workshops using the themes of ‘Saluting Our Sisters’ and ‘Before Windrush’. These include a writing workshop for adults, a family story-telling session, and a print workshop. Use the museum’s extensive Afro-Caribbean collections to inspire you in these creative workshops.
Brighter Sound teams up with Vic Meets for a series of workshops and panels this autumn. From songwriting and freestyling to DJing and broadcasting, with industry advice at every turn. All will be hosted by BBC Radio 1 presenter and R&B/Soul artist Victoria Jane, with guests fronting each workshop, including DJ Chaise, Akemi Fox, G33 and Layfullstop. There will be plenty of time to ask burning questions and get practical experience in the workshop areas. All workshops are free but please book in advance.
Enjoy an incredible line-up of our specially curated storytellers telling you their story, unfiltered and in their own words. In addition to the line up, true to our open mic roots there will be a couple of spaces open for budding storytellers, so feel free to come with your own five minute true story in mind. Our events are as much about the joy of hearing the voices of others, of finding there’s a story in each person, and coming to connect and learn.
The Black Writers Guild has hired the Portico Library in Manchester to provide a positive space for you to hear from published authors, and to connect with other emerging and established black writers in the north and midlands. Guest speakers include the incredible Diana Anyakwo, Yvonne Battle-Felton, Danielle Jawando, Okechukwu Nzelu and Kimberly Whittam.
This is a comedy night that is not only packed to the brim with jokes but also celebrates the vast array of comedic talent throughout Black History Month. We pride ourselves on championing comedians who appeal to comedy lovers of all backgrounds – so grab your tickets and head down for a night of good vibes!
As part of the Ubuntu Festival of Events for Black History Month, The Zebra Partnership has collaborated with Stockport Race Equality Partnership to deliver a weekend of events in Stockport. On Saturday 14th October, Carol Ann Whitehead will be bringing back Miss Diagnosis and hosting a special BHM ‘Miss Diagnosis Lunch and Learn’ – a panel discussion about Black Women’s health and incorrect diagnosis from maternal care to breast cancer. After the discussion there will be a chance to network with Afrobeats and enjoy some African Caribbean food. All are welcome.
A-POC-ALYPSE CABARET is a horror inspired event, showcasing queer artists of colour on a stage created for us, by us. This is a safe space to enjoy queer POC artists whose style of performance and creative vision is celebrated. Get ready to experience a powerhouse of POC talent, from some of Manchester’s finest and across the UK. This is going to be a cultural reset, bringing queer POC monsters to the heart of Manchester’s Gay Village! This month’s line-up features Eva Serration, Romeo De La Cruz, Jada Love, Lilly Snatchdragon & The Bollywitch.
MAMAWE brings you an experience you do not want to miss, a workshop focused on celebrating BHM through movement. Join dance teachers and choreographers, Angelina Abel and Adriano Oliveira who will lead this brief introductory session, drawing inspiration from the Angolan heritage, providing you with an opportunity to relax, express yourself, and emphasise the significance of purposeful movement.

For the past two weeks, we’ve had a group of participants completing our Podcasting Course in the space, from learning how to script write, all the way to hosting their own live show on Reform Radio which showcased their five minute podcast pieces. You can listen back to the full show below.
We caught up with participants, Tagan and Huma, to hear about their experiences on the project and to hear what they’ll be taking from it moving forward.
What are your names, pronouns, and what you’re getting up to at the moment outside the course?
H: I’m Huma, my pronouns are she/her, and I work for a charity which supports victims of domestic abuse.
T: My name is Tagan, my pronouns are he/him, and I’m currently exploring new hobbies in my free time and trying to get more creative.
Describe yourself in 3 words
H: Kind, empathetic, and a good listener
T: Compassionate, determined and loving
If you had to recommend a podcast to someone who’s never listened to a podcast before, what would it be and why?
H: I would recommend a podcast to people in relationships who are questioning whether their relationship is healthy. The podcast is called ‘I’m Not In An Abusive Relationship’, and it’s about the early signs of abuse and neglect. It’s informative and could be really important to people who are unsure of the signs.
T: I would recommend the ‘Inspired Unemployed’ podcast. It’s a bunch of lads having fun behind the mic and creating content and it’s just good fun.
What prompted you to get involved with the Podcasting Course?
H: For me, I attended to simply explore. I wasn’t a massive podcast fan before taking on the course but I came just to give it a go.
T: I was in a similar place, I didn’t have a major expectation of the course. However, I tried the taster session and was instantly drawn into it and knew I needed to complete the rest of it.
What’s become your favourite thing about podcasting and audio through completing the course?
H: I’ve really enjoyed the thought process of writing a script. I can’t say I enjoyed the editing aspect too much, however, and listening to myself back! But the process of writing was so creative and it made me really consider the layout of podcasting.
T: For me I just loved the whole creative aspect to audio, and achieving things I didn’t think I was capable of. Being in the studio was also great as it pushed me out my comfort zone and taught me loads of new skills.
Let’s throw it back to your first day at Reform versus now, tell me a bit about your first impressions/emotions in comparison to how you feel now. What has changed?
H: My impressions have changed hugely. I didn’t know anything about Reform Radio at all and was quite apprehensive about what we were going to experience and do on the course. But I ended up looking forward to it every morning and feeling so motivated to come along.
T: I didn’t expect to enjoy it as much as I did and I didn’t think I’d be as committed as I have been about turning up everyday. I’m really grateful for the opportunity which Reform has given me to meet such a collective of kind people who support you by setting high standards and supporting your work. I think the main thing I’ll take with me is the confidence I’ve grown in developing audio and media skills, but also generally within life.
What will you take from the podcasting course moving forward & what are your plans from here onwards?
H: I think I definitely feel more open to getting out of my comfort zone and trying new things in life. It’s taught me to go for things I wouldn’t usually try. I would love to continue building the podcast idea I formulated through the course and create a larger series. I feel like creating this podcast will support my work with victims and survivors of domestic abuse.
T: I will definitely take new-found confidence from the Podcasting Course, I feel like it’s really built my self-esteem. I will be taking a lot of new friendships with like-minded creatives from the course, also.
If you could have anyone on your own podcast as a guest, who would it be and why?
H: For me, it would Yasmin Mogahed, a specialist in spirituality, psychology, and personal development.
T: I don’t have anyone specific I’d ask. It would be fun to have someone totally random to discuss random subject like conspiracy theories or psychology to hear a unique point of view.

The Jorgy & Cheech show is BACK. Known for their hip hop mixes, rappering and irreverent chat, this week the pair welcomed Manchester talent PiQasso into the studio to get behind the mic.
PiQasso has been made a name for himself on the UK scene, blending 90s hip hop beats with his effortless flow. With this in mind, the Northern rapper is both excitingly unique, with notes of familiar nostalgia running beneath his verses.
Listen to the full show here and watch the live session below.
HERchester are back on the block! Back in spring this year we’ve held a series of lyrical and MCing workshops, led by OneDa, across the North West – in Manchester, Sheffield, Blackpool & Morecambe. The cohort are now returning for a one-night special to round up what they’ve been up to – kindly funded by Arts Council England, and in partnership with House of Wingz, More Music and Rite Trax.
Taking over GRUB MCR on the 15th of August, 6.30PM – 9PM, the female-identifying and non-binary rap cohort will premiere their exclusive cypher, filmed at Manchester’s Blues Kitchen, and a film documenting the behind the scenes action of the project. If that’s not enough for you, the night will also include a live Q&A with HERchester and OneDa.
And this is open to all with the space being an inclusive atmosphere to meet likeminded creatives, whilst also witnessing the incredible community’s talent first-hand. It’s going to be an evening of good vibes and boundless creativity.

Reform Radio is bringing its ‘First Dance’ Wedding Dancefloor to Manchester’s Pride Parade, celebrating the 10 year anniversary of, both, the Same Sex Marriage Act and Reform Radio.
This year, marks our 10th anniversary as an organisation, founded in the basement of a shared-house in Manchester by three friends, Reform’s current directors. In celebration of the 10th anniversary of the Marriage Act, and Reform Radio’s first ever radio show in 2013, we want will be staging Reform Radio’s ‘First Dance’ as our entry to Manchester Pride. This wedding dance-floor will be a celebration of the power of love, and love for the LGBTQ+ community.
The playlist for the parade will be made up of songs from our LGBTQ+ community and partners. This is where we need your help!
LGBTQIA+ community and queer wedding attendees, please submit yours and your friends’ first dance songs for them to be played alongside our Pride parade. Send your tracks over to dani@reformradio.co.uk – we can’t wait to hear them and share this celebration with you all.
You may have seen across our socials that we’ve had a busy couple months here at Reform, with a number of participants coming into the space twice a week for our In Focus Content & Social Media course.
Kindly funded by ESF & Skills For Growth, In Focus Content and Social Media is a 7-week course that is designed to upskill people in all things marketing, social media and content creation. All participants have a chance to create an exclusive social media campaign for a Manchester based creative, brand or an organisation. This time round, participants worked with the likes of Yemi Bolatiwa, Studio 88 and Gravy Mag.
We caught up with Dara, who worked on Yemi Bolatiwa’s campaign, to find out more about her time on the course and where she’s heading next.
Introduce yourself (name, pronouns, and what you’re up to at the moment/hobbies etc)
I’m Dara Jackson, I use she/her pronouns and I’m currently graduating from a Masters of research in Neuroscience. My hobbies include watching anime, dancing, singing, painting, and curating digital art on Pinterest.
How would your friends describe you in 3 words?
Joyful, driven and loving.
If you could create any piece of content for yourself/a brand/an artist, what would it be? And who would you want to work with?
I really want to work for Selena Gomez’s brand, Rare Beauty, as a mental health content creator. I’d also love to work for Iris Van Herpen, Gucci or Zimmerman as a fashion or mental health content creator. Rosalia is another musician I’d love to work for too because she inspires me all the time to stay true to my roots.
What prompted you to get involved with In Focus: Content & Social Media?
I am seeking a career in content creation or the creative industries as I feel happiest doing that so this would be a great first step to getting there.
Did you have much experience in content/marketing before? If so, what’s your favourite aspect of it?
I think my favourite part is the idea generation. I like thinking of ways to get in touch with people’s humanity and remind them that everything is ok. Art can remind you of your humanity to fail, to be stagnant and to pause and re-centre. I think I just enjoy making people feel seen.
Where do you find inspiration for your creative content work?
From so much! My relationship with Christ has had a significant impact on the framework I navigate the world with. I think the compassion I experienced from my God is my first filter: compassion and grace. I get inspiration from my mum, dad, brother and sister because they’ve all had lives that speak of struggle, overcoming and making beauty out of ashes. I get inspiration from Greek, Japanese, Trinbagonian, African and Norse Mythology. I get inspiration from Islam, Hinduism and Confucianism. Also I am inspired greatly by my heritage – I’m of African, Indian, Spanish and Irish descent. I am inspired by both digital and traditional art, music like trance, alternative and noir. I pull from anime, Astronomy, nature, my own struggles – I think that’s about it!
Let’s throw it back to your first day at Reform versus now, tell me a bit about your first impressions/feelings/emotions in comparison to how you feel now. What has changed?
I felt safe and like I was somewhere I belonged straight away and that hasn’t changed at all. I think the course taught me to relax and enjoy the process. Reform really knows how to make people feel like they can do anything, no matter what level you are.
What will you take from the In Focus course moving forward & what are your plans from here onwards?
Definitely editing if we’re talking technical. I was so scared of using Premiere Pro before! I also hope to take my understanding of how small details in concepts can make a huge difference in perception, and also my value of teamwork.
My plan moving forward is to work in the creative industries. Creative work is the only work that makes me truly happy now and using art to help people find peace and freedom would be a great legacy to have. We’ll see how it goes!

This blog post was created as part of In Focus: Content and Social Media course, funded by the Skills for Growth & European Social Fund.
We are Kao, Meg, Sarah and Anna. We have just completed the In Focus: Content and Social Media course with Reform Radio. We’d love to share our journey through the course with you! As a team, we rose to the challenge of creating a social media campaign for Manchester recording studio, Studio 88, who are launching a new product.
Over 7 weeks, we learnt about digital content creation and had lots of opportunities to gain hands on experience. Throughout the course, our marketing, video and photography skills were developed and honed. Taught by Reform Radio’s in house Content and Marketing Team, we were well placed to get to grips with the intricacies of content creation and social media. The modules covered included; social media and marketing strategies, analytics, trends, audience development, planning and implementing a social media marketing campaign and working from briefs to developing concepts.
In addition, there were valuable lessons on filming and photography, concept production and creating short form videos for platforms such as Tik Tok and Instagram. Crucially, there were practical sessions which focussed on editing and post-production. This comprehensive and interesting course has provided a solid grounding in Content and Social Media, along with a professional piece of work which can evidence our skills. The tutors were knowledgeable and approachable and the whole group were lovely.
Darrius, Samantha, M1LLZ, Meg, Kao (from left to right)
Our group worked on a brief for local recording studio, Studio 88.
“Studio 88 stands for infinite and abundant creation…in Chinese mythology it symbolizes good fortune and wealth. We try and incorporate all of these values and philosophies into the business.” – Darrius, Director of Studio 88
Darrius
Studio 88 is a local multi-genre recording studio, providing a range of services for artists and producers looking to join a welcoming, creative community. It is owned and directed by Darrius Stewart (He/Him) and has studios in both central and South Manchester. Both sites are accessible and professionally equipped. New for summer 2023, Studio 88 have launched an affordable subscription package service, Create88, for all creatives with a range of benefits. The monthly package guarantees 12 hours a month in the studio along with a wealth of other benefits including the opportunity to work with in-house producers and access to the well-established and formidable creative network.
Darrius explains: “Studio 88 MCR is much more than just a recording studio, we are a place for artists to grow and develop, turning ideas into fruition, and offering Manchester’s upcoming artists a creative space like no other.” Local beatmaker and Junior Recording Engineer Pretty Trixx describes how the studio has helped her: “I’m really a bedroom producer at heart and like to stay behind the scenes whilst making my music but the studio is slowly helping me come out of my shell and work with more creators.”
Pretty Trixx
With a passion for music as her first love Pretty Trixx has worked with notable names in the industry through being involved with Studio 88, including Kwengface and Youngz SB.
Artist and Studio 88 collaborator M1LLZ says: “They took me in as a home. They gave me somewhere to go to show what my passion was. They did a lot. I’m now an artist.”
Studio 88 Singer, Songwriter and Manager, Samantha Mae says: “From my manager side, I am working with 4 people; 3 artists and 1 producer/engineer. We are all in a development scheme and we’re all on the same wavelength, we want to see results and progress. In terms of my singing -songwriting, I’m helping song write for those who get writer’s block. I come up with creative ideas to get them out of that space and out of their head. I’m just trying to help everyone do what they do and what they love.”
M1LLZ
Samantha Mae
Studio 88 prides itself on being a launchpad for upcoming artists, a safe space with a family feel for people working in all genres to come and learn to improve their music making skills and learn about themselves in the process. M1LLZ says: “They showed me how to control my breath, pronounce my words, open my mouth. All the good fundamentals that can help you find your way of doing it. That’s what they did to help me progress.”
Studio 88 has rich partnerships with other creative organisations across Manchester and the UK. The new package can add structure to projects, guaranteeing studio time and a network to collaborate with.
The Create88 subscription package for £150 per month is now live and includes:
Young Company is the Royal Exchange Theatres’, award-winning, resident Company of Young People aged 14 – 21. Providing weekly workshops, production opportunities and free tickets to main house shows.
