“You can have such a laugh with Manchester artists”
Yvonne Shelton’s musical career is as rich and varied as the city itself.
Her voice has echoed through the city's vibrant music scene for the past 40 years. She has performed as a backing singer for global stars, provided vocals for some of Manchester’s best-known artists and sang centre stage as part of the much-loved Hacienda Classical.
Yvonne's journey is a melody of resilience, community, and is a testament to the city's nurturing soul and its knack for producing enduring talent. You’ll hear about the supportive network of artists in Manchester that Yvonne is a part of and how you create connections that can lift people up.
Host Lisa Morton learns about the challenges of racism and sexism in the music industry, and the unyielding spirit that propels artists like Yvonne to keep their heads to the sky.

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 26 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.
