The End Festival is returning Friday 29th March (this Friday) to celebrate the collaboration between some of the finest artists and nationalities in the EU, before the dreaded happens. It was originally dubbed as the EU’s leaving drinks before Theresa May went and messed it all up. She seems good at that. Anyway, I digress…

Get yourselves down to the Cecil Sharp House in Camden to see 11 acts who have come from all over the EU. The amazing acts The Local have booked for you are as follows: The Chap (ENG/SCOT/DE/FR/GR), Robocobra Quartet (NI), epic45 (ENG), Bird in the Belly (ENG), Arborist (NI), Killing Cartisano (IT), Rev Magnetic (SCOT), Fran & Flora (ENG), Mathilda (PT), Nova Hall (SE) with the amazing Stuart Braithwaite of Mogwai (SCOT) DJing.

The End Festival has been running since 2009 in one form or another. The most recent edition was held in 2017 (which yours truly helped out on) and was the biggest yet. It ran across 9 days in 9 different venues all across London. However this time the festival has a certain message behind this year’s edition. Festival founder, Howard Monk, explains ”I want to do an event which celebrates the coming together of acts from different parts of the EU. A statement that even at this nominally grassroots level, we will continue to collaborate and celebrate each other, regardless of what the political climate might be. So while the foundation and the timing of this event might be political, the intent is simply to say WE ARE HERE. WE WILL COLLABORATE. WE WILL CELEBRATE.”

Cecil Sharp House is just a 10 minute walk from Camden Town tube station
