I should also state that if you subscribe to the LSF emails then there’s an opportunity to enter a ballot for a place to an exclusive meet and greet event at Universal’s London headquarters.

Wait, wasn't there a London Soundtrack Festival years ago? I'm confused by the "first" there.

I can only think of the Filmharmonic series at the Royal Albert Hall spearheaded by Sir Sidney Samuelson during the 1970's and '80's, but that was really long ago.

That’s right! Sir Sidney was a pioneer who I’m sure many UK veterans here will remember fondly.

Thor might be thinking of the RAH’s Live to Picture series which is usually every October, this LSF festival however is more diverse and varied and across multiple venues.

Might not have been London-centered, but I vividly remember some form of film music festival in the UK, probably some 15 years back or so. It annoys me that I can't remember its name or location.

It was right there, in that time spot in the late 2000s, early 2010s, amidst the rise of film music festivals all across Europe (WSA, Krakow, Tenerife, Cordoba, Madrid, Transatlantyk etc. etc.).

I remember it, because I always wanted to go, but never got around to it.

Oh you mean the Soundtrack to Your Summer film music festival in Birmingham (north of London) during 2011. Yes that was another great series of events. I remember we spoke about it in Vienna.

Yes, Birmingham! I think that might be it, thanks, Tim!

Looks like they have booked some major venues. Hopefully there is some Golden Age concert, would love to hear some of the British scores by Vaughan Williams, Arnold, Alwayn, Bax, Goodwin, etc preferably full scores.
