The Camden Crawl this year will still go ahead as planned this April, despite the problems caused by a fire in the area over the weekend.
Now in its seventh year, the event will run from Friday 18th to Saturday 19th of April and see 130 established and up-and-coming bands playing in 25 venues.
Speaking of their decision to continue with the two-day bash, organisers have issued the following statement:
"Last Saturday's tragic incident has understandably had a deep impact on those who work, live and frequent the Camden area. We are especially saddened by the extent of the damage wreaked upon The Hawley Arms and the upset and disruption that is has caused to our friends there."
"Central to last year's event, The Hawley was due to host various live events and parties, but will now unfortunately not be included within the festivals. No other venues have been affected by the fire and the Camden Crawl will go ahead as planned on 18th & 19th April."
"Camden's musical history and reputation for breeding new musical talent will continue to be celebrated as now more than ever and we are currently looking into ways that the festival will be able to help those affected by the fire."
