Camden Crawl
[3] Venues which hosted the events included The Barfly, Camden Underworld, Dingwalls, Dublin Castle, Electric Ballroom, KOKO, and Proud Gallery.
[7] In addition to bands and solo musicians, performers in some years included art historians, comedians, poets, and people with unusual skills such as hula hooping.
[10] Paulson later noted that health and safety regulations regarding decibel levels were unknown to the five founders initially, and conceded that 1995's performances were "a lot noisier than it is now [in 2011]".
[12] Acts which played the first Camden Crawl included Bis, Blumfeld, Donkey, Gallon Drunk, Joeyfat, Kenickie, Killing Joke, The Lemonheads, Long Fin Killie, Nub, Penthouse, Pure Morning, Quickspace Supersport, Saint Etienne, Scarfo, Spare Snare, Bob Tilton, and The Wedding Present.
[7][9][13] The first year of the event spanned only five venues: Castlehaven Community Centre, Dingwalls, Dublin Castle, The Laurel Tree, and The Monarch (since renamed The Barfly).
Of twenty acts which participated, eight — AC Acoustics, Bis, The Delgados, Eska, Long Fin Killie, Mogwai, Prolapse, and Urusei Yatsura — were Glaswegian or had ties to Glasgow.
[6] The remainder of the lineup consisted of The Aloof, Gallon Drunk, Kenickie, Nub, Pure Morning, Quickspace Supersport, Scarfo, Spare Snare, Bob Tilton, and The Wedding Present.
[17] To mark the tenth anniversary of the first Camden Crawl, organisers resurrected the festival, and the event took place 10 March, a Thursday, with forty acts playing.
[18] Performers in 2005 included Buzzcocks, Graham Coxon, The Cribs, Hard-Fi, Hope of the States, Hot Chip, The Kooks, Le Tigre, The Magic Numbers, Maxïmo Park, Mystery Jets, The Subways, and The Wedding Present.
[3] The festival spanned 29 April – 1 May, and featured performances by more than two hundred and fifty acts,[3] including Hodgy Beats; Odd Future; and Tyler, The Creator.
[12] The festival took place at venues in Camden during the UK's Bank holiday weekend, 4–6 May, with scheduled performances which included Alabama 3, Gaz Coombes of Supergrass, Death in Vegas, Glasvegas, The Futureheads, and The Raincoats.
[22] Other non-concert features at the 2012 Camden Crawl included alternative press, comedians, games, Hip Hop Shakespeare, KaraUke (karaoke combined with ukulele music), spoken word performers, and swing dancing.
[25] Spanning 20–21 June, more than twenty venues,[7] and two hundred acts, 2014's Camden Crawl included performances by Atari Teenage Riot, Au Revoir Simone, Mouse on Mars, Of Montreal, School is Cool, Alexis Taylor of Hot Chip, and Thumpers.
[1] In July 2014, shortly after the end of that year's Camden Crawl, founder Paulon announced that the festival was "experiencing financial difficulty" and would be placed into voluntary liquidation as it was unable to pay all of its creditors.
[7] Stuart Clarke, an editor with Music Week, was quoted by BBC Radio 1 in 2008 as calling Camden Crawl "an important 'little stepping stone' for" up-and-coming musicians, and noting that performing at the festival was a good indicator that new acts would continue to become better-known.
