mjf soundcheck is our artist opportunity for music mjf soundcheck is our artist opportunity for musicians based in Greater Manchester, aged between 18-25, who are interested in taking risks with their music and experimenting with improvisation 🧚‍♀️

Over the course of 8-weeks, the artists develop a new piece of music, supported by a 1-1 mentor from mjf hothouse, a hand picked industry professional, support from the mjf team and the other musicians! This piece of music is then showcased as a work in progress in a sharing session at the end of the programme.

Previous soundcheckers range from singer-songwriters, through to punk musicians and electronic producers - and there are no limits or requirements to who soundcheck is for!

Deadline: wednesday 24 august 2022
