4 NW10: SETTING THE AGENDA The mood of London runs through NW10. From being the spiritual home of British reggae to a rich history of welcoming communities from far and wide onto its soil, this enclave has left an indelible mark on the capital s psyche. And the story doesn t end there. Very much on the redevelopment radar, the area sits on the edge of the UK s largest regeneration project, Old Oak and Park Royal, which promises to ramp up its transformation. Think of the word reggae and NW10 surely must follow. Over five proud decades the music scene has shaped the character of the area, which was home to the first British roots reggae band, The Cimarons. Today, the reggae spirit lives on in nearby Craven Park Road, where Hawkeye is the area s last remaining reggae shop. The scene fostered the first African-run pirate radio station whose DJs went on to set the agenda at BBC Radio 1. What s more, Willesden has been home to a number of recording studios that have worked with some of the most iconic names in music. All eyes will be on Brent in its role as London Borough of Culture The centrepiece of the celebrations will be a huge summertime street party with popup visual arts, dance, theatre and music commissions. Local producers will unite for a major reggae music festival and an exhibition will showcase the borough as the home of the genre. PAGE 5 PAGE 6
