great live band

I used to sell vinyl records in the stables on Camden market other sellers had stuff on the floor and it was a real flea market... all cleaned up now with food stalls and new clothes

I played in the Electric Ballroom in the 70's It was a girl band and we played a mix of cajun & funk, we where called initially Blue Cat's then Club Mamoselle. We got the gig as one of our members was going out with one of Killing Joke who played the same gig. Previous to that I was in a band called Stepping Talk we did lot's of gigs along with lots of other indi bands and used to hang out with Scrittie Politti in Camden.

I worked on a tunnel contract at Chalk Farm in 1962 a part of the wall on Adelaide Rd was knocked down for an entrance and site accommodation was erected. The old tunnel was used for empty railway carriages into Kings Cross, electrification of trains meant the tunnel was too small to install the overhead cabling. So it was enlarged using 3 crews of paddy miners working off coal trucks, the old tunnel lining was removed on ring at a time down to track level. The clay excavated and dropped into the coal wagons, new profile tunnel lining segments would be erected to the larger diameter. Each lunch time a train would arrive pulling some empty wagons, plus others carrying the new segments and cement for the grouting these would be dropped off at each work station and the previous days wagon attached to the front of the train and taken away. While mining under the Round House some brickwork was encountered in the top of the tunnel, this was knocked out and a torrent of water flowed into the tunnel. The miners had hit the flooded cellars of the Round House, pump were installed and the tunnel progressed under and away from the area. later the hole was repaired with reinforced concrete and the leaks sealed as well. The singer who kept ripping his pants lived just near the iron bridge, can't think of his name.

That was good, Julian. So Nostalgic for me. I liked going to Camden Lock. There were good Jazz Sessions there on Saturdays in a bar on the canal. And I liked going to the Roundhouse. I saw String Driven Thing there who were an excellent folk/rock group. I believe they are still going as they are on the Internet. Camden looks smarter now. London looks so much smarter now, with all of its cleaned buildings. Your videos are the nearest I can get to visiting London, so thanks for them.

You gave me a lot of nostalgia with this. I actually saw Lemmy in a pub near the Roundhouse once. The World's end was the pub I used to go to with the people from work as I worked nearby on Greenland Street. I also want to the Devonshire Arms a few times too.

If I ever retraced me steps from 75' I'd give this bloke a ring,great tours.

Wow! I never knew the history of Holts Dr Martens shop. Back in the day (before graphics went computerised) I used to get my typesetting done above the shop by a nice, cool guy.

Geez, I immigrated back to Canada back in 1992. Haven't been back to the UK since, but had a short term live-in job at a pub called the "BUCKS HEAD" , before I transferred to a live-in catering gig in Wimbledon,at Southlands College, just up the road from Putney Village. I wonder if the Bucks Head is still there, on the corner, if anyone can tell me. I know for a fact that Dingwalls is done and over with 1990-s . I went down to London from Glasgow, to stay with a friend, for her 21st B-Day back in November of 1991. When I took the Picadilly Line ,then transferred to the Northern Line to get to Camden Town, on the Saturdays when I got my "pay packet" as they refer to it over there, Yeah Camden Town was the place to be,on a sunny Saturday afternoon, wandering into Dingwalls, stepping back into a "1950's Rock-'n'-Roll time warp" needless to say,in my obvious SKA, REGGAE,SOUL ,I stuck out like a sore thumb, against these 1950's Be-boppers, furiously "Jitter-bugging" away on the dance floor. Sadly, when I went there, on that visit while in London, I went up to Camden Town, Dingwalls was gone, replaced by various overpriced boutique after boutique. But when it was still alive and kicking, going into the joint , but GREAT original vintage 1950 which I still enjoyed inspite of feeling out of place, music and fashion-wi, to say the least. Lol,😂 but still , it was fabulous times, nice folks, & the fondest memories. Here's to good 'ol Camden Town. 🍺🎤🎸🎷🎺🎛️🎶🇯🇲 ⬛♥️⬛♥️⬛♥️⬛♥️⬛ ♥️⬛♥️⬛♥️⬛♥️⬛♥️ ⬛♥️⬛♥️⬛♥️⬛♥️⬛

Great to see the mention of Marine Ices. I was a regular when I lived nearby and found that my Mum, and HER Mum had hung out there in their younger days.

Ohh, missing Camden. Lived there for a while and know most of those places he shows. Those were the times

I stood outside the Roundhouse and listened to Jefferson Airplane and The Doors. (couldn't afford a ticket). Next day Airplane played a free concert on Hampstead Heath, but it got rained out.

KOKO and Camden Palace was The Music Machine in the Punk Heyday!....I went there!

OK, this is definitely my favorite episode, rock and roll, drinking and a history cover about it, so now I know, if I come to London where to go first, thanks mate :D

I lived in Camden in 2011 and this video was a great walk down memory lane. Thank you.

LOVED IT i just subscribed after watching Plymouth video but I also lived in Kentish Town in my early 20s for 10 years and Camden Town was our Hangaround place . Cycle courier for 6yrs in early 80s again thanks for the memories

Very hazy memories of having good times in the Camden Falcon & played Dublin Castle a few times too. The early 90's, I was 22, in a band and having a right old slice. Great to see Knox, in the vid!

As a teenager living in London, I spent a lot of time in camden and also went to see 'Sid and Nancy love kills' in the Plaza in August 1986. I too used to drink in the devonshire. The pogues and that petrol emotion used to drink in there. In 1989, I returned back to my home city of Derry to go to uni. But, i always return to camden at least once a year. My wife and daughter love the place. We were all in Camden last month and took your recommendation and did the Regents canal. thank you for your entertaining and informative videos.

I visited London a few weeks ago and I went round Camden after watching this a few months back. Had to go into Dingwalls just so I can say I’ve been there. £6 a pint of lager was a bit of a shock though, I made the aftershave man in the toilets day for him by giving him a £20 note for a dab of Armani smelly.

Used to drink in the back of the Marathon in the 90s after nights out in Camden- Lived a couple of miles up the road .. it was my stomping ground from late 80s to 2000. Was full of characters does anyone remember the state of the toilets in the Hawley Arms it was really rough then !!! All very posh now.

I was born in Kentish Town in 1947 and went to school in Chalk Farm (same school as Madness but a few years before them). The area has certainly changed a lot since those days 😃

Saw the pink fairies at Dingwalls.. Excellent and very drunken night 🤣

since this video was uploaded, Chalk Farm vintage (the Hawaiian shirt shop) has since closed permanently 😭😭. Also anyone here in 2022?, if so, respect to you.

Love the video of camden,I was born at 1 Greenland Rd Camden Town. It's changed so much,❤

I used to go to a good mixer back in the 90s most nights during the britpop years. I remember meeting menswear in there. I also remember playing pool with Finley Quaye plus Adrian Hunter who was Pete doherty's manager and who can forget Scottish Alan used to go around collecting my glasses I was like security. The mixer staff were great because you could always have some banter with them whether it was over cricket or rugby as they would always be Aussies or New Zealanders. You would also find Andy Ross in there who ran food records and was Blur's manager. There was lots of other well-known people if I was to name them all here I'll be here all bloody night. I know it sounds hard to believe during the summer of 94 and 95 but the mixer was so full people would drinking on the road and a pavement outside the mixer, it was Mayhem down Inverness Street. Before it was pedestrianised. After the mixer would Close around 11 you would walk up to the Dublin Castle and stay there until it was closing time, unless it was a Friday and Saturday night and you was going to he monarch which was a nightclub on two floors after the band had finished. When they're closed about 2:30 am in the morning you would headed straight for for the marathon about 100 yards away bar where you could order more beer in Cans. Sometimes the musicians would still be on and after they had finished they would go round with a hat asking for donations, great times during the 90s britpop area. Unfortunately things like this will never happen again because of Council and there stupid rules and regulations. I nearly forgot there was another great britpop kind of club called blow-up on a Saturday night which was at the Laurel tree till it moved in late 95. Anyone who remembers them times will know what a special era it was in Camden

amazing and musically historical thank you so much...
