Journalist and writer
Dan Hancox will join us at the next
Stadtklang
music evening at the Arcola Theatre Bar in Dalston to discuss and explore his
critically acclaimed book
Inner City Pressure: The Story of
Grime (William Collins, 2018). This weaves the explosive
story of London’s grime music, and its stunning triumph against the odds, into
the history of the 21st-century city, where gentrification, urban protest,
pirate radio, police harassment, riots and tragedy are intertwined in the
evolution of this stunning and alien style of grassroots urban music.
