Don't forget to check for local musicians like Christopher Scamp aka The Piano Man. Want some Ludovico Einaudi, The Addams Family theme, or Underworld's Born Slippy? Why not have them all mixed together in one mind-bending sequence of seamless piano switchovers? A bit of ABBA thrown in? No problem. The Liverpudlian ivory tickler has regular live 'sick' tune streams on TikTok, Facebook and Instagram. We're keen to see and share more local talent so if you spot any let us know.
The new dedicated MFDFTV Channel on YouTube will provide recipe videos and tutorials from local chefs and producers, and there’ll even be virtual wine tastings allowing Manchester’s dining community to learn from the very best while staying at home.
This free streaming site promises live music and performances every night, broadcasting Greater Manchester’s vibrant culture around the world. It’s free to watch but donations are encouraged, with all proceeds supporting culture and charities throughout the region.
