Last night we attended the ‘bunfight’ meeting at the Camden Crawl to decide what acts play where. 19 of us plucked one act each as the tension built around the table.

Luckily there’s not too many people on the artist committee that wanted rock acts so we think we got who we wanted and we will be able to announce which ones as soon as we get a green light. We had to pick 4 acts though from different genres which makes the Crawl what it is, so expect a folk, electro and 2 rock acts on the line up.

We will be hosting a very well known venue in Camden on Sunday May 2nd. Click here for the line up of confirmed acts so far and start getting your tickets sorted before they sell out.

Corby’s Adrenaline Alley skatepark has been upgraded over the least few months with the help of Trevor ‘Scooby Doo’ Johnson at Four One Four Skateparks. The new area even comes with some fake grass and a sick mix of bricks and mortar.

This is another example of indoor skateparks pushing the UK forward and generally progressing, if only London had people running skateparks with the same passion as the rest of the country our city would have something to talk about again.
