What a brilliant evening we had at the V&A Museum last week for the opening of the brand new 'Lost Music Venues' exhibition. 🎵 It's so important that we keep on celebrating these vital spaces and championing the communities that bring them to life, because without music we'd all be a little lost. 💛
