Outside of London, which cities are contributing most to UK culture, and why?

The term ‘UK Culture’ weaves Fashion, Art, Music and more, making it what it is, so naturally there are several global influences that join forces.

Manchester is becoming a much more prominent figure in UK culture, with artists like Meekz, Bugzy Malone, Aitch and IAMDDB paving away for themselves in the music scene. There are several collectives coming out of Manchester that have become common names in the UK; Warehouse Project, TRPHSE Worldwide and Habitat with some wicked emerging DJ’s that if you don’t know get to know. Fashion brands with a cause like Drama Call, recently having donated over £26,000 to protest bail funds in support of the Black Lives Matter movement. Represent is another Manchester powerhouse brand with a lot of credibility to influence and lead UK streetwear, with luxury threads and trainers. Speaking of which, footwear brand Clints, with signature sole design is stepping firmly into the mainstream, with recent collaboration with Patta are equally influencing far outside of Manchester.

Birmingham have a seemingly underground impact, whilst being in Birmingham you feel it, but as an outsider you can easily miss the ripple effect it is having on the scene. Birmingham is a big champion for DJ’s and live performances, with heritage venues like ‘Hare and Hound’ and ‘The Jam House’ that showcase live talent. There are a number of collectives that are helping shape UK culture and providing a vessel for those within those cities; Calm International, The Collective. With some homegrown talent like Mist, M1llionz and Lady Leshur keeping Birmingham on the map.

Lagos and Accra coined together here for the impact that both cities have had on the UK music scene bringing Afrobeats into the mainstream in UK clubs and radios and the strong influences that artists have used in their beats and vocal tonation.

Kekuta Manneh eager to pitch in for the cause with US national team

RALEIGH, N.C. – Kekuta Manneh has done his share of waiting.

He waited five years in residency in the United States to qualify for a one-time switch from Gambia by FIFA rules from 2012 to 2016. But now his wait has come to an end, as he received the call that he was invited to the US national team for a friendly against Paraguay on Tuesday (7 pm ET | FS1, UniMás, UDN).

With the selection coming after the initial squad was announced, the call took many by surprise, including Manneh.

“I was at home sleeping, and the call woke me up,” Manneh said. “I was in bed when I talked to them, and it was good news. It was exciting to get the call, and it’s a good feeling to be here with the guys. Hopefully it’s a good week.”

Manneh spent five years playing in Major League Soccer, the first four and a bit with the Vancouver Whitecaps before moving to Columbus Crew SC during the 2017 campaign. All told, he made 120 appearances with 71 starts and scored 26 goals in MLS, before moving to Liga MX side Pachuca in the offseason.

It’s that attacking edge that Manneh believes he can add to the national team.

“I think I can help the team wherever they need me,” said Manneh. “I think I can help attacking-wise, making plays and getting goals and assisting people, and just trying to be a big part of the team. Hopefully I can be a good addition.”

Manneh recently made his first appearance for his new club, coming off the bench against Toluca on March 4.

Playing in Mexico is no different than playing in the United States or Canada for Manneh, as he says the game doesn’t change.

“I don’t think there’s a lot of difference in playing in Mexico,” Manneh said. “It’s just a different league, and you hear different voices, but I think the game is the same. Football is the same everywhere that you go. You just try to learn as much as you can in the environment that you’re in, and adapt to it. I think I’m in the adaptive process right now, but there’s not a whole lot of difference.”

Integrating into Dave Sarachan’s USMNT camp has gone well for Manneh, and he says he’s looking forward to the match against Paraguay.

“The camp is good so far,” Manneh said. “It’s a good group of guys, some people I know and some people I’ve never met before, and it’s good to be here to get to know them individually. It’s been good so far, and hopefully we can have a good weekend and win the game against Paraguay.”
