LIVE FROM THE TOP OF THE TOWER
MUSIC
The main room under the clock is a 40m2 space in what was designed as a bell chamber as part of the spire of St Pancras. It never actually held bells and the wooden louvres which looked down to the street are now fitted with dotted glass replacements. The whole room has secondary glazing to provide protection from outside noise
.
The room is set up with cameras and microphones for recording needs and PA and projection
equipment for music or visual performance. We welcome artists who need a space to record audition videos or promotional material for competitions or applications for positions
.
We are very happy to let people use the tower room for performances of music or other cultural events. Although we do not organise them directly ourselves, we shall list here the links to sites where others are promoting themselves
We also have a few things showing on our
YouTube channel or our
Facebook page
MUSIC RECITALS
A series of concerts was
put on by City Music Foundation from June to August 2020. Dates are shown at
http://citymusicfoundation.org/watch-and-listen/3/ Donations to the musical charity which we support are welcome
Donate & support - City Music Foundation to support young musicians at the start of their careers.
The tower room has been used for the production of many concerts some of which can be seen on YouTube
We have held some interesting musical and other events in the clock tower, most notably for our 50th birthdays when we had series of performances by Gisele Edwards, the aerialist, which can be seen below.
A more recent performance of her work Rasa, a choreographic exploration of the spatiality of sound can be seen here. We have a pre-rigged bar in the ceiling just in case we are visited again by an aerialist or rope artist.
