Music returns to Tin Pan Ally
Central London will see the opening of three music venues later this year as part of a £1 billion redevelopment of the Denmark Street area into a multi-media entertainment district branded Outernet London. Outernet Global CEO Philip O’Ferrall tells Access about the plans.
For half a century Denmark Street was a mecca for musicians and the music industry. Dubbed Tin Pan Alley, artists such as the Sex Pistols, David Bowie and the Rolling Stones were regularly seen there and over the years it became the home to the NME, Melody Maker, studios, management companies and a tightly packed array of musical instruments purveyors.
