In response to the Wired4Music Manifesto, young Londoners are pledging to have a say in their own musical futures. Pledges range from personal vows to policy changes. Adults and organisations are pledging too. London is listening and people are embracing the value of empowering young musicians to have a voice.

Remember: every pledge matters!
