"I was playing a private game with myself and my London A to Z. But the best thing about these walks was that they took you down streets, up alleys, across back gardens, over ditches that you would never normally have visited. You would discover things: shops, cafés, old saucepans, skips full of discarded treasure ... and secret signs. The secret signs were always the best." - Bill Drummond

Walking along the South Bank is like having a soundtrack accompanying your life in real time.

A very varying soundtrack.

Yesterday I saw (heard) this band called The King's Parade perform their music in on a street in Camden. This was the third time I accidentally stumbled across them in the last month. A bit odd, I thought, and did some research: 

Camden is the only borough in London where you don't need a license to perform on the streets, which makes the street music scene in the area different from other London boroughs. You don't get a lot of experienced "professional a-la Covent Garden"-performers in Camden, what you get is ambitious young musicians, much like the guys in The King's Parade, who want to reach out to a larger audience with their music. Because on London streets, being the home of about 8 million people and a never ending stream of tourist, you're not just presenting your music to Londoners, you're reaching out to the world.
