NPO Director steps down

Como No has announced that Founding Director ANDY WOOD is stepping down after 34 years.

A promoter of music from Latin America, Como No has presented shows in venues including Jazz Café, Village Underground, Barbican, Royal Albert Hall and The O2 Arena.

The organisation joined Arts Council England's National Portfolio in April 2023 and is transitioning to a not-for-profit.

Since 2001, Wood has also been Director of La Linea, a London Latin Music Festival produced by Como No, which curates a series of debuts and new projects in venues across the capital. 

Como No said Wood is "passing on the organisation’s legacy of achievement and the flame to a new Director to run with".

"We need a new director to write the future for Como No and La Linea."

Recruitment for Wood's successor is currently ongoing.
