His Majesty King Charles III has reaffirmed his commitment as the patron of Live Music Now. Our sister organisation, Live Music Now Scotland, is also honoured to receive the patronage of King Charles III.
Sir Vernon Ellis, Chair of Live Music Now, said, “We are delighted that His Majesty King Charles III has retained his Patronage of Live Music Now. This follows a review of Patronages undertaken by Buckingham Palace. King Charles, as Prince of Wales, had a long association with Live Music Now for almost 30 years. He admired greatly the pioneering work of our founders Yehudi Menuhin and Ian Stoutzker in training musicians and bringing the benefits of music to so many people with reduced access – in care homes, schools, hospitals, hospices and community settings across the UK.”
