David Stanley CEO Music Man Project!

I recently sat down for a chat with David Stanley who is the CEO and Founder of the music Man Project. He founded the Music Man Project after meeting a young guy who had Down's Syndrome who inspired him to start a music project for people with a learning disability. They have played in London's Royal Albert Hall & in London's Iconic Theatre London Palladium. Their next dream is to play a show on Broadway. If anyone can help them to raise some money to help make this wonderful dream happen, there is a link below.website: http://www.themusicmanproject.com/Go Fund Me page : https://gofund.me/220dc2d8b
