Camden Crawl: The 10 Most Memorable Moments
Organiser Lisa Paulon guides Gigwise through festival's history...
- MOMENT 1: THURSDAY 16TH NOVEMBER 1995 - This was the date of the first ever Camden Crawl. There were only 5 venues (Dingwalls, The Monarch – now Barfly, The Laurel Tree, Castlehaven Community Centre and Dublin Castle) and only 15 bands for a fiver and a CD. The line up included Kenickie, Bis and Gallon Drunk amongst others, but what I remember most was The Wedding Present’s closing show. We had the bright idea to stagger all of the venues so that they were the last and only one’s on to finish the night. Sadly, none of us geniuses had the brain cells to work out that the 1000 people that attended wouldn’t all fit in the 500 capacity Dingwalls. We closed with a bit of a riot you could say!
