🎹 What does it take to keep a Manchester cultural icon alive since 1857?
In this special episode of Small Actions Big Ripples, recorded on location in Manchester, I sit down with Emma Loat, 5th-generation owner of Forsyth Brothers, the legendary music store on Deansgate in Mcr city centre.
We recorded right on the piano floor, surrounded by the rich and illustrious history, atmosphere, and melodies that have been a feature of Manchester’s music scene for over 160 years.
As a former RNCM student who spent countless hours here browsing sheet music, chatting with musicians, and soaking up the vibe, this conversation felt like a homecoming.
Emma shares candid insights into:
🎶 The triumphs & challenges of running a family business in a changing retail world
🎶 How Forsyths thrives despite online competition
🎶 The store’s remarkable history & vision for the future
🎶 The power of music to strengthen community spirit
This is a story of resilience, heritage, and keeping culture alive through a genuine love of music.
