Enjoy:) http://www.wyllieohagan.com Information about the event from Sustain's website http://www.sustainmusic.org/ Part of the City of London Festival 2009, Sustain! is a three-day programme of music and ideas on the theme of sustainability, curated by John Harle musician and founder-director of Sospiro, working with Festival Director, Ian Ritchie. Sustain! is a creative response to the potentially devastating consequences of economic and environmental climate change, and both brought on by human action and inaction. These are among the most urgent and important issues which we are required to face. In times of global change, imagination is a prized asset to search for new ways of thinking, behaving and leading. Sustain! brings together people in the vanguard of thought and action who share a common aim to find these new ways and prepare us for the journey though the years ahead.
