Suggs, Boy George, Chris Martin and Noel Gallagher are among a host of famous faces sharing their memories of the vibrant and historic music scene in London’s Camden Town, and the part it played in their careers, in a new four-part series.

Executive produced by singer Dua Lipa, Camden is a celebration of this distinctive corner of north London that is home to iconic music venues the Jazz Cafe, the Roundhouse, Dingwalls, the Electric Ballroom and Koko (formerly the Camden Palace and the Music Machine), as well as a host of pubs where up-and coming acts cut their teeth playing live.

One of those pubs is the famous Dublin Castle, inside which, as seen in the series, there are many pictures of ska band Madness, who emerged from the back streets of Camden and owe a huge debt to the historic Irish venue.
