Folkestone is following in the footsteps of Music Cities across the world such as Nashville, Melbourne and Seoul by becoming the world’s first Music Town.
A music town is a town that has formally recognised music as an asset capable of boosting economic growth, tourism and health and wellbeing.
It follows an extensive 18-month evaluation which included a public consultation, working groups, creation of a Music Board and online gig listing.
