City Showcase launch new creative event in central London
By CMU Editorial | Published on Thursday 26 January 2012
Organisers of the annual West End-based new music festival City Showcase yesterday announced the launch of a new Central London event to be called the Soho Flea Market.
The aim is to “bring together London’s creative talent”, including artists, designers, film-makers, web developers and musicians, for a day of selling, performing and showcasing on Dean Street in Soho. The project, involving various Soho businesses, will also raise money for the Terrence Higgins Trust.
Confirming the new event, City Showcase Founding Director Nanette Rigg told CMU: “We are proud of our track record for helping and supporting new talent in the field of music and are delighted to be able to extend our work to be able to showcase all creative talent in one of London’s most iconic streets”.
Meanwhile Karim Ladak of Potassium, who will help select the creatives who present at the street party, said: “We’re inviting London’s creative community to come together for one special day in May where we‚’ll celebrate the capital’s diverse talent in a unique and fun way that also supports up and coming artists”.
