Singer Jimmy Constable of 911 said that in February this year, the band collaborated with singer Duc Phuc in the MV Em dong y. Thanks to this song, foreign artists had the opportunity to interact with Vietnamese audiences and were happy to be welcomed here.

"This is the fourth time we have returned to Vietnam to participate in the UK Festival. The Vietnamese audience is very friendly, we are happy to be treated like family. The group will perform with My Anh and will have special performances with a female artist from Vietnam," said a representative of the 911 band.

Attending the festival, students and parents will have the opportunity to explore the scholarship programs currently available from 20 prestigious British schools; display UK commercial products in consumer goods, healthcare, financial services. Visitors will also learn more about leading projects and technologies in the field of renewable energy, demonstrating the commitment of both countries to a “greener”, more sustainable future.

In addition, within the framework of the program, Ambassador Iain Frew, with the support of culinary blogger Phan Anh, will show off his talent in making traditional British scones with a recipe that bears the mark of Hanoi autumn.
