Our next Manchester:Unplugged film premieres tonight at 19.00 on our website & YouTube channel.
This is the trailer - the film features the incredible Salford-based artist Salo, & it’s a proper “made in Manchester” story…❤️
Filmed across some of the city’s most loved music institutions, & rooted in the idea that Manchester continues to be a place where musical talent can grow through community, graft and belief.
Salo is classically trained & blends soulful songwriting with slices of jazz, jungle and drum & bass to create a sound that’s both technically sharp and emotionally open.
She arrived in the city as a young asylum seeker (her family fled Georgia following the collapse of the Soviet Union) and she speaks candidly about what it was like growing up here, how Greater Manchester nurtured her talent, and how she’s built confidence as a fiercely independent, self-producing artist.
