We have a long-term plan for the development of the NML brand and want to continue to offer more opportunities for fans to hear and experience great music. We introduced the monthly residency at Pizza Express Live (Holborn) earlier this year, which has proven to be a great success, and the two new events we added to this year’s festival – the opening night party and the river cruise in collaboration with our partners Buck n’ Bull Saloon; both undoubtedly broadening the reach of the brand.
