In every neighbourhood a range of musical activities will be on offer, many of which are free, as part of the Mayor's work to promote Camden's musical heritage.

Highlights include a Cavatina family music concert at Swiss Cottage library, jazz favourite Sarah Moule at Lauderdale House, the legendary Shirley Collins at Cecil Sharp House, and hip hop act Lyrical Alliance at the Roundhouse.

Special venues

The music month provides a unique opportunity for all residents to experience many of Camden’s famous music venues as well as to see musicians perform in the borough’s more unusual venues, such as parks, museums, libraries, churches and the Council Chamber.

The Mayor is also inviting residents, community groups and local music venues to join the music month challenge and put on an event as part of the growing programme of musical treats. Local venues, including the Dublin Castle and Theatro Technis, which is showing a new musical about Jack the Ripper, have already signed up to take part in the Mayor’s music month.

New date added due to popular demand!
