We Built This City

Uncover a part of Manchester’s history you’ve never heard before.

Host of The People on BBC Radio Manchester, Karen Gabay has built a career on giving a platform to ordinary people and their stories, but she still has time to rub shoulders with Mary J Blige and Idris Elba.

Discover alongside Lisa Morton the power of working for love, not money, and how hiding in the toilets at the Apollo and getting into gigs for free could help you forge a lifelong career.

We Built This City is a series of conversations with some of the amazing Mancunians - born, bred or adopted – who put the heart into modern Manchester. A celebration of the human grit, determination and love found throughout the city, these episodes will lift you up, make you laugh and inspire you to leave our city in a better place.

Your host, Lisa Morton, started PR company Roland Dransfield in 1996, one month after the fateful IRA bomb that tore apart the city centre. From that point, the business, and its team members, have been involved in helping to support the creation of Modern Manchester – across regeneration, business, charity, leisure and hospitality, sport and culture. 

To celebrate the 24 years that Roland Dransfield has spent creating these bonds, Lisa is gathering together some of her Greater Mancunian ‘family’ and will be exploring how they have created their own purposeful relationships with the best place in the world.
