Back in the 90’s, when Britpop was enjoying it’s heyday, Camden was the hip kid’s heart of the capital. Nowadays, artists, designers and musicians have all migrated to the edgier East where Brick Lane has become a rat-run of kids in black rimmed glasses and wearing their Granny’s fur coats, all packing out the vast array of over-crowded and costly vintage outlets to bag themselves a nice Arran sweater for winter.
The king of Brit-pop, Jarvis Cocker, spent the majority of this week performing at the Village Underground Gallery in Shoreditch. It’s here that Cocker and his motley band, provided the backing track to a variety of bizarre workshops, including, pole dancing, hula-hooping and yoga classes. Open to all, and intended to break down the barriers between performer and audience, musician and artist and of course Cocker and fans. |

I am a 25-year-old freelance journalist who lives in London. I have been writing about art, music and culture since graduating with a BA honours degree in Music And Visual Art from Brighton University in 2007. I started out writing for the student paper and then went on to write for publications such as NME, Artrocker and The Fly as a music journalist. I have also worked on several small magazines in editorial positions. I moved to London back in April of 2009 and have been doing my best to keep up with the fast-paced arts scene ever since. I live in East London which is currently the epicentre of aspiring new musicians and artists. Alongside my writing I also promote gigs and work in a vintage shop in Camden. Berlin - Germany
