Listen Back to Unity Radio LIVE from Beyond The Music 2026 at INSPIRE, in association with the University of Salford, MediaCity!
On Thursday 8th October, Unity Radio broadcasted live from Beyond The Music, as part of this year’s INSPIRE programme, in association with the University of Salford at MediaCity.
Broadcasting live from the DevLab between 2 and 4pm, the Unity Radio team brought listeners an afternoon focused on music, creativity, careers and opportunities across Greater Manchester’s creative industries.
This year’s Beyond The Music brought together some of the people working behind the scenes across music, venues, live events, radio, production, technology and the wider creative industries.
Throughout the afternoon, Kai Jasper, alongside Unity Radio Academy graduates and new learners, spoke to industry professionals, artists, creatives, students and INSPIRE attendees, finding out more about their journeys, what it took to build a career in the creative industries and the opportunities available to young people across Greater Manchester.
The team also got the inside story on some of the biggest developments happening across the city’s music and cultural scene, from venues and live events to music technology, broadcasting and creative careers.
It was a fantastic opportunity to connect with the people shaping Greater Manchester’s creative industries, hear inspiring stories and discover more about the opportunities available to the next generation of talent.
Unity Radio was proud to be part of the event, bringing the conversations, experiences and creativity of Beyond The Music to listeners across the city.
