To celebrate Christmas 2022, we thought a series of free public outdoor music events, held under the twinkly festoon lights on the Regent’s Canal steps at Granary Square would be brilliantly festive cultural fun.
We had to brave a frozen solid canal, followed closely by intermittent squalling rain showers, but when the weather gods were in the mood, the show was always 100% on.
Check out video highlights of some of the performers below, showcasing the serious wealth of musical talent that shows up in London if there’s a stage and an audience. (If you’ve got more video, send it over and we’ll include).
The Camdenist Live series would not have been possible without the support of our neighbours at Google, plus help from King’s Cross, the Canal & River Trust and Camden Council. Thanks to all, and we hope to bring more music to the steps in sunnier times, too…
