After five successful years of Amplify London, we are thrilled to be expanding this initiative to Liverpool, a city with such amazing musical heritage. This is the first programme that LMF has taken outside London since our own launch in 2011 and is an important and exciting step in our development. We are excited to work with local experts and delivery partners in supporting the creative ecosystem in this amazing city.
