🎸 This time last week, Camden was talking punk…

We had such a fantastic evening at Black Music & Rebellion: 50 Years of Punk. The room was packed with punk fans, music lovers and people ready to share their questions, knowledge and enthusiasm. ⚡🎶

Expertly chaired by , our brilliant panel (via Zoom), and explored the Black music and Caribbean influences that helped shape punk’s sound, style and spirit.

There was so much musical passion in the room, with lively discussion, different perspectives and some brilliant questions from the audience. We’ve had such lovely feedback since, and it was wonderful to hear how much the conversation resonated. 💬🖤

And one thing was clear: you can’t talk about punk without talking about Camden. Its venues, communities, characters and musical history are all part of the story.

A huge thank you to our panel, everyone who packed out the room and for helping us bring this special evening together. 💙🧡💛

🎬 Going far, together

Last Monday, we had a packed house at the fabulous Samsung KX in King’s Cross for Storytellers Link-Up, and we left feeling inspired. 🎥

It’s always a joy partnering with to bring emerging creatives and industry professionals together. These conversations matter, creating space for honest advice, new connections and the encouragement people need to take their next step.

Our panellists shared how they found their way into high-end TV and film, the transferable skills that helped them get a foot through the door, and how opportunities can come from unexpected places. Panellist Natasha Envy even found out about the event through a WhatsApp group chat, showing the real power of staying connected to your creative community. 📱🔗

One audience member captured the spirit of the evening perfectly:

“If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.” 🤝🏾🧡
