Dear Mr Knight,

I’m writing to express my concern that the London Musicians Collective Arts Council Grant has been cut.

LMC is an organisation that has a long successful history of enabling & supporting musicians and artists, giving them the opportunity to perform to a broad and challenging audience. It presents, questions, and challenges the idea of music and listening as well as attracting a large & diverse audience particularly with its highly successful Radio Station Resonance.

I was recently asked to perform at LMC Experimental Music Festival,
I found the experience productive, challenging, engaging and supportive - everything I hope for (but rarely get) when working with an organisation. They took a risk with me and for that I am very grateful, in the light of the recent announcements from the culture sectary regarding ‘excellence in the arts’, it would be utterly ridiculous and a devastating blow to experimental music and art in the UK, if ACE were to effectively close the London Musicians Collective.

Please reconsider,
Regards
Bob Levene
