EVER walked by Stables Market and thought: “I want to capture that sound forever?” Well, the guys who own the market have roped in ex-Sugababe Mutya Buena to guest on a series of albums called The Sound of Camden. I’m not sure what her Camden connection is but Mutya’s promo quote says: “I am connected to the market and now I am singing songs that my mother loves as well, it’s amazing.”
The albums, sold at 2,800 market stalls, cover electronic, classic and revolutionary sounds of bands such as U2, The Pixies, The Rolling Stones and more, featuring tracks that are synonymous with the sound of Camden.
• Beware the small print. I couldn’t believe it when I read Blackstreet were playing at The Hill, Haverstock Hill on Friday. Then I heard it was two ex-members and a guy who was never in the original band – anyone know different?
• Jongleurs hasn’t left Camden but the venue has been renamed Highlight. There’s a pop-up variety cabaret show on Tuesday (May 25) including Mandy Muden MC – who combines comedy and magic, ping-pong ball mouth juggler Rod Laver, musical impressionist Duncan Wisbey, comedy circus performance artist Kaliki Hula Girl, 16-stone prima ballerina Madame Galina, the world’s fastest tap-dancer James Devine, and octogenarian Barry from Watford – got to beat any Britain’s Got Talent line-up. Tickets from 0844 499 4064 orwww.thehighlight.co.uk
• Sadly just learned I missed out on a screening of Love Story, a documentary about Arthur Lee’s genius psychedelic band Love at Westminster Reference Library on Monday. I heard Darwin Deez recently played there too. Definitely a venue to keep an eye on.
Here's Arthur Lee in later years - still struggling to find footage of him with the original line-up.
