Music, Culture and Heritage in the Royal Docks
We will take a look at the musical cultural heritage of the Royal Docks from the 1950s to the 2020s, from Bollywood to Brick Lane! We will focus on institutions such as the Brick Lane Music Hall that have brought music and culture to the area and laid the ground for new organisations, such as The Beams – as well as look at the diverse local culture heritage amongst ethnic communities that has inspired young local artists.
