Let's have a music thread for London as well, because they're playing London music on Radio 6. Haven't heard this for ages. Alright mucker. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=flESd2vFXy4 Chas & Dave songs are welcome here.
This band are from Sheffield, but they have a London sound and southern accents. Anyway, they are better than both the Arctic Monkeys and Blur combined. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fTIBgbZG2NQ
Graham Coxon was the real song writing talent behind Blur. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cxlFgvjrcsA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tBG2_MYdTS4
Formed in London. Saw them play a small underground club in Barnet in 1999, minus Natasha Atlas. She is an Egyptian singer who sang on a few of their tracks, all my favourites. Beautiful voice. I love the Arabic musical scale, turns out there are way more than 12 boring semitones in an octave than we originally thought.. It was a fucking ace night with great music and dancing, and in between sets the band hung out with the crowd. I can't do no better than than, alright. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oiOoLvWGGf4
David Bowie was born in Brixton. Here he is performing with the Arcade Fire. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z6c9Ejfu-iU
