About this Event

Music and Revolution by the Old Canal

Camden Town has been a hotbed of musical scenes and counter-cultures for over 50 years!

But where did it get the grit and charm that has inspired so many musicians and writers? From open fields to steam and stench, industrial powerhouse to drinkers paradise, and from radical thinkers to musical rebellion – what is it that put this tiny area of Camden Town on the global stage and spawned cultural movements that changed the world? Join me as we look beyond the t-shirt stands and souvenir stalls to discover the places where counter cultures were born and musical history was made. Find out how Camden Town became the beating heart of Rock, Punk, Britpop and beyond! The tour will naturally end in one of Camden’s fine pubs where you can soak up the atmosphere and find some inspiration of your own ;)

I grew up in Camden Town, from my first pair of DMs to playing on the stages of Camden's many venues, to vintage tracksuits and bumping into Britpop stars. I love this place, and I hope you will too!
