The Elias Fawcett Trust helps young musicians in and around London. It was set up in memory of Elias Fawcett, a promising guitarist who died in 1996 not long before his 18th birthday. The focus is on providing opportunities for performing in public. Playing to live audiences is one of the best ways to foster the skill and enthusiasm at the heart of music.
