More about the Camden Crawl

In very different fashion from the coinciding Royalist festivities, Gaymers Camden Crawl, scheduled to take place Saturday 30^th April and Sunday 1^st May 2011, will celebrate its 10^th birthday edition since its inception in 1995 on the May Bank Holiday Weekend.

 Swift on the heels of selling out its early bird weekend tickets, the Crawl is pleased to reveal the first stage of its line up announcements for 2011. Over the past four years, the festival’s daytime fringe programme of cutting edge arts and music has continued to flourish on a par with its legendary rock & roll evening extravaganza. During the daylight hours the main thoroughfares of Camden will literally burst at the seams with a vast array of comedic talent, visual art and crafts exhibitions, spoken word and performance theatre, interactive events & games and, of course, live music.

Sprawling across more than twenty venues, the Crawl daytime schedule of events kicks off from midday on both days of the weekend and runs until 6:00 pm when the evening live music scramble begins. Upon arrival at the festival each ticket holder will be presented with an all-access wristband, programme guide, timetable and free download album to help plot his/her day’s adventure. ‘Crawlers’ will be granted unlimited access to all official daytime and evening venues and parties capacity permitting.

Litro Live! at the Camden Crawl – click to listen to Ana Silvera perform one of her songs at last Sunday’s Litro Live!

It may not have been the sunniest of Bank Holiday weekends in London on Sunday, but that was no deterrent to Litro Live! and the audience who gathered in the Edinboro Castle in Camden for our eclectic and exciting mix of leftfield performers. Singer and musican Ana Silvera charmed with her intimate and beguiling set; Garth Cartwright read from and discussed More Miles than Money: Journeys Through American Music, accompanied by Errol Linton on the harmonica. Journalist and writer Philip Wilding took us on a dark but comic trail with readings from his work,  included his acclaimed new novel Cross Country Murder Songs; Chris Salewicz, author of Redemption Song, discussed Bob Marley, his legacy and the Jamican music scene. London trio and Battle of the Bands 2007 finalists Mad Dog performed their set of blues-inspired underground rock; whilst event host MC Angel presented her upfront and witty observations on modern life and DJ 10sui (Tracie Storey) spun the decks between the acts.
