Camden Crawl was a music festival in Camden, London, which first appeared in 1995 and then was held annually from 2005 through 2014.

Overview

Rather than a single venue, Camden Crawl operated at multiple venues simultaneously, with different acts taking the stage at different venues.[1] This format is sometimes referred to as a "microfestival", a type of event which Time Out's Guide to London 2012 described as "a cross between a pub crawl and a music festival" and noted that Camden Crawl had originated.[2] Venues which hosted the events included Dublin Castle, Elephant's Head, The Enterprise, Good Mixer, Lock Tavern and Proud Gallery.[3] Performers who have participated in Camden Crawl include Adele, Disclosure, Florence and the Machine, Mumford & Sons, and Amy Winehouse.[4] In addition to bands and solo musicians, performers in some years included art historians, comedians, poets, and people with unusual skills such as hula hooping.[5] In some years, the combination of popular musicians and tiny venues led to long lines, fan frustration and the nickname "Camden Queue".[1]

History

The festival was founded in 1995 by Lisa Paulon and four friends in the recording industry. She characterised the group as "five people who didn't know anything about putting on a gig" at the time the festival was first organised, noting that health and safety regulations regarding decibel levels were unknown to the five initially, and conceding that 1995's performances were "a lot noisier than it is now [in 2011]".[4]

After a 10-year hiatus, Camden Crawl resumed, and grew into a multi-arts festival. Chris Jakubiak was hired as event organiser[6] and helped expand the festival, which went on to win "Best Metropolitan Festival" at the UK Festival Awards in 2009, 2010, and 2012.[7]

Financial difficulties

In July 2014, shortly after the end of that year's Camden Crawl, founder Paulon announced that the festival was "experiencing financial difficulty" and would be placed into voluntary liquidation as it was unable to pay all of its creditors.[4] A statement on the festival website blamed low ticket sales for the shortfall.[4]
