I am joined this week by Phil Minns, founder of Best Foot Music, a music label and events hub which works with musicians from around the world to document their musical heritage, as well as facilitate live performances and cross-cultural exchanges. Now in its 10th year, Best Foot is an example of exactly the kind of initiatives we'll need to look to as our changing world brings increasingly diverse groups of people together, often in difficult or dramatic circumstances. We talked about why music is such a great connector and facilitator of connection, how the label has evolved over the years, and its archival projects with the British Library amongst and its many other activities.

As Phil says, projects like his benefit from donations but, like all musicians in the digital age, particularly from attendance at live events and performances. For details of whats coming up, as well as how to donate, please go to www.bestfootmusic.net
