Musical Madness at the Crawl! Suggs and Co join the party back where it all began

THEY have played in venues across the world, but Madness seem to feel most at home in the streets of Camden Town.
The Nutty Boys gave the Camden Crawl festival an extra bounce with a free gig from the top of a bus in Inverness Street on Friday. Other highlights of the two-day party, involving nearly all of NW1’s bars and clubs, included Graham Coxon playing a supposedly low-key gig at the Spread Eagle in Parkway. So much for being secret, he was mobbed by fans and crowds formed outside.

Treat for young music fans as venues open their doors

THEY cleaned up Camden’s streets and brought colour to its gardens – and this weekend the Castlehaven Project volunteers made a little part of history at the world-famous Camden Crawl.
Young people aged between 14 and 18 enjoyed free tickets to the first-ever concert in St Michael’s Church as part of the music festival’s series of special under-18 gigs, the Red Bull X-Crawl.
The church on Camden Road, one of four venues on the trail, hosted a line-up of up-and-coming bands.
Teenage volunteers recently transformed its gardens in a campaign to raise the profile of the area.
The efforts of dozens of young people also brushed up The Castlehaven Community Centre and earned them tickets to the X-Crawl and the chance to see behind the scenes at Koko, Select Models, MTV and the BBC. Several lucky gig-goers also got a chance to pen their impressions of the music festival for the New Journal, who organised the Castlehaven Project with the youth charity, Envision.
