“Hosting the FMO Conference and Community Folk Fest in London with collaborative community partners, elevates the event and supports the wider music ecosystem in London. Taking a traditional conference and making it more accessible directly supports a number of UNESCO’s Sustainable Development Goals and brings fantastic live music to London’s core.”
