1: This is Camden and welcome to Joolz Guides rock n roll camden pub crawl.

15: Camden's famous for its market, its live music and of course its pubs so we're going

21: to do a sort of pub crawl and try an take in some of the most significant musical and historical

26: locations en route.

27: And it's also famous for being where Bob Cratchitt and Tiny Tim live in Charles Dickens'

32: Christmas Carol.

33: But we're going to start in Chalk Farm.

35: The reason we're starting here is because behind there is the railway

39: In the 19th century when Camden started to get industrialised all these houses around

43: here were built for the workers who worked on the railways

46: They were from England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales and they used to get into lots of

51: fights with each other

53: So they decided, I know, we'll build a whole load of pubs for each nationality

58: So the Dublin Castle was for the Irish, Edinboro Castle for the Scots, the Pembroke Castle

64: was for the Welsh people

68: Yeah, the Windsor castle has typically closed down but that was for the English but we've

73: got plenty of other ones so that's ok

75: Over there is Chalk Farm Station which is where Madness took the photo for the album

79: cover Absolutely.

80: That was their second album, one of their best in my opinion.

84: It wasn't actually that entrance though.

86: No you're right, let's go round to the other side.

89: I think that the camera was down there and they were like here…like that.

96: Up there is Haverstock Hill leading up to Hampstead.

99: Noel Gallagher used to live up there.

100: Supernova Heights is up there , the Steels Pub and everything.

104: But we''re going that way towards Camden

106: This is such a pity.

107: This used to be Marine Ices.

108: This was my favourite ice cream parlour.

110: Everything's closing down.

111: I feel like Charlton Heston at the end of Planet of the Apes.

114: You maniacs.

116: You blew it up.

118: Oh damn you, God!

122: Damn you all to hell!!

124: That's how I feel when I look at this place and see what they're doing, it's madness.

128: This is the Enterprise, I did a stand up comedy gig here

131: A perfectly reasonable place to take your second pint especially if you're going across

134: the road to The Round House to watch a gig.

142: This might look like a kebab shop but it's a very special kebab shop

147: I remember you used to be able to come here any time of night and it would have all walks

151: of life from businessmen to beggars crammed in the back watching this French Elvis called

156: Daniel Jeanrenaud.

157: And there were these old saxophone players too.

159: Great times man.

161: And it would have poor people, rich people, a man from the city having just come back

164: from a late night

166: Yeah they used to play late nights.

168: He played a good ten years I think.

172: Good, why did you change it though?

175: The council reduced the hours, we had to close earlier than used to..

180: I don't know, he says that they' closed down but I bet you any money you can still

184: go in there.

185: I reckon they must have a lock in.

186: There's got to be.

187: Just opposite there is the Roundhouse which used to be for train locomotives to pull in

191: and turn around.

192: They had a sort of turntable like you got on your Hornby railway.

195: But it got turned into a warehouse because the trains got too big to fit on it.

198: In the 60s it turned into a music venue and loads of famous people played there like David

204: Bowie , Rolling Stones.

205: Led Zeppelin played their first gig here and they say this is where punk was born when

209: The Ramones played here.

210: Oh, and that's Anthony Gormley on top there.

213: This is where George Michael did a free concert for NHS nurses, he's a really nice bloke

218: George Michael.

219: And The Doors did their first and only UK concert here I do believe.

223: This used to be Bartok and before that it was The Belmont.

226: It was quite popular with musicians because there used to be a recording studio just across

231: the road.

232: Lemmy from Motorhead used to be seen by the fruit machine in here.

234: In fact he was seen by the fruit machine in any pub he went to.

237: When I'm not wearing a bowler hat and cravat I'm one of the world's Hawaiian shirt

242: wearers.

243: And I can't resist.

244: It's an illness.

246: All my Hawaiian shirts come from here.

247: dungaree and Hawaiian shirt combo.

251: Now we're talking.

261: The reason why there's all these horses everywhere is because this used to be the

264: stables and this was like the Camden goods depot bringing industry and jobs to the area.

268: The horses lugged stuff around off barges and trains to be taken off around London.

273: The last horse was retired in 1967.

275: It's amazing really that they still had horses up until then.

285: We're going to the Amy Winehouse statue which is in the stables market where they

289: don't like you filming so we're probably going to get chucked out.

292: They had a fight, The Sex Pistols had a fight in Dingwalls which we can't show everyone

297: now.

298: In there is where they took the photograph for The Clash album cover.

303: Thanks to the nice woman in the office she's phoned all the security guards and told them

306: not to let me film in here so we have to do this a bit surreptitiously.

309: This is what I have to put up with, in case you're wondering why you don't get a video

313: every week on the channel.

316: Because honestly anywhere, I had a big argument with them in the bakery as well.

320: The Hawley Arms is where Amy Winehouse used to drink and she used to have a special drink

326: called a Rickstacy which I suppose for the sake of this I have to have one

332: Three parts vodka, one part banana liquor, one part Southern Comfort, one part Baileys.

337: But you don't do them anymore?

340: In that case I'll have a pint instead.

343: It sounds disgusting.

345: There's Dingwalls.

347: It's where the bass players from The Clash and The Stranglers had a bit of a fight and

352: it resulted in The Stranglers being ostracised from the punk scene.

357: And there's this little bit on the right there where the cow barges go inside and it's

360: called dead dog's hole because it's where all the detritus and dead dogs and dead bodies

365: used to wash up.

366: It used to be…trains used to go into there in the 1800s and they'd lift off goods and

371: stuff and put them onto..

374: Stop saying yeah.

375: You sound so interested!

377: When morning TV was quite a new amazing thing in Britain...

381: it was like, Oh wow we've got TV am it starts at 6am

385: all those egg cups on there were because it was the tv am building but now it's the MTV building

393: I did used to work there and there was this woman who was doing the hair and make up for

397: Adam Ant when he came in and she came down the stairs in a terrible

400: state crying, she was like, I just had to attach his toupee

407: she was mortified as were we all that poor old Adam Ant the 80s beauty icon for all of

413: us

416: nothing to say about this pub except that Pat who used to do the quiz in there

420: he used to think he was hilarious he used to say there's a free pint for this

423: and he'd ask a question someone would answer the question

426: and he's go stand up, what's your answer?

429: Go the the bar Get a free pint.......of water, you're wrong,

434: sit down! but he did it in a northern irish accent whereas

438: I did it in some sort of weird Welsh Australian accent.

441: Do you know that song by madness?

444: Walking round you sometime, hear the sunshine and that's a song about Arlington House is

450: this house which is a doss house

457: just along from the homeless hostel is The Good Mixer a notorious Camden hang out for musicians and fans and stuff.

461: It became really popular after Blur started hanging out here in the 90s

465: because this has always looked like a bit of a scuzzy pub to me.

468: It looks like the kind of place to get beaten up

470: Listen you don't get beaten up in a place where everyone's a fan of Brit pop.

476: Dude everyone in there now is a vegetarian and remembers the good old days of boys who

480: do girls who like boys

482: I need to pop in Are you in a band?

486: I heard only people in bands are allowed in here.

491: There's Amy playing pool.

495: Apparently she was known to have a game of pool in here.

498: have you ever been to Mecca Bingo?

500: I went with you!

503: This is the dublin castle this is one of the most famous music pubs in camden.

507: Amy Winehouse used to pull pints behind the bar here.

510: I think it all started when Madness played there around 1979.

515: I bet you any money you've played a gig there.

518: I have indeed, I've played many a gig there.

520: How many bands can we see that have got names similar to other bands but aren't actually the real thing

524: the real thing . Yeah like the Sex Sells Deep Fury , Deep Purple

527: The Uptown Monotones is a kind of like a mixture between the Boomtown Rats and the Undertones

532: The Flaming Lips Squidge Squeeze

537: People are really getting a bit desperate with band names these days arent they.

540: Johnny Cash, oh god I just got that, I'm so thick

543: Have you ever been to the rock n roll rescue shop?

547: So where does the money go to though?

549: Tony Blair's new wallpaper for his Las Vegas penthouse suite.

554: Wonderful It goes here

555: see there... and the last thing it goes to is bees, we

562: give money to bees.

563: I'm pretty sure this is Depeche Mode's keyboard.

566: It is.

567: This is still programmed for one of their gigs

570: It's got all the songs programmed in for I think it was the Violator Tour or something

574: but the bloke in the shop doesn't know how to use it properly so he's terrified of turning

582: it on and deleting everything When I work at Rock n Roll rescue I like to

587: drink Amphtamine Annie's coffee!

593: The Camden Palace which down there, t was actually the Camden Theatre opened in 1900

598: it's called Koko now Oh beg your pardon, I'm so old school!

604: For about 15 years Bon Scott who was in AC/DC, the last place

610: that he went for a drink was in the Camden Palace.

612: He staggered out and he stumbled down towards the Dublin Castle and he bumped into an old

618: school teacher of his who thought he looked a bit worse for wear and he sort of helped

623: him into a cab and then he died later that night.

631: Just opposite inverness street market is the electric ballroom which is one of the most

635: famous and iconic music venues in camden.

638: It had many incarnations under the same ownership.

640: In th 70s when they first opened up as The Electric Ballroom the first band to play there

645: was a band called The Greedies and that consisted of Steve Jones from the

648: Sex Pistols, Paul Cook who was the drummer from the Sex Pistols and the guys from Thin

651: Lizzy and I think Gary Moore.

654: Sid Vicious was present at that gig and it inspired him to form a kind of one of band

658: called The Vicious White kids and do a show called Sid Sods Off to raise money for his

663: trip to New York with his girlfriend Nancy.

666: Actually it was a trip from which he would never return.

668: Why didn't Sid Vicious ever come back?

670: Because he had a drugs overdose and after having been accused of murdering his girlfriend.

675: Weird because when that film Sid and Nancy first came out the one starring Gary Oldman,

680: that was the first time Iever went to the cinema to see an 18 certificate film, it was

684: called an X in those days.

685: Funnily enough, I went to see it in the Camden Plaza cinema which was just opposite the Electric

690: Ballroom and I didn't realise the irony of that or how appropriate it was until now.

699: This is one of the oldest pubs in camden.

701: It's been here for ages.

702: I think it's from 500 years ago, although it wasn't called the Worlds End back then,

706: it as called the old Mother Redcap.

708: Where there was a cottage where this woman called jenny Bingham used to live.

712: Jenny Bingham was pregnant by the age of 16 but the bloke who made her pregnant got hanged

716: at Tyburn Gallows for having stolen some sheep.

719: her next bloke disappeared mysteriously, then her parents were hanged for witchcraft, her

723: next fellow got found burnt to a cinder in an oven, but she was let off because it was

727: found out that he often slept there in order to escape her nagging tongue, which is fair

733: enough I suppose.

734: She ended up just sitting on a stool here with her red cap and black cat.

738: She was a bit scary and regarded to have mystical powers or something.

741: I'm more of a melodic death metal kind of guy.

745: I'm a rocker I'm a metal head I'm a punk.

747: I'm all of those things.

748: I like everything from Elvis to death Metal, I span the generations.

753: People wearing all sorts of outlandish mad stuff, yet the only person who is getting

758: stared at is me.

759: Madness actually used to live upstairs?

760: I didn't know that, I know Madness used to buy their Doctor Martin boots at this shop.

768: Is that the one about which the song is?

770: Our house in the middle of our street.

773: This fellow says that that's the one he's talking about.

778: That's what I thought, that's the first ever Doctor Martin shop.

782: In Camden Town I'll meet you by the underground.

786: This is the Devonshire Arms.

788: It's on kentish Town Road.

789: It used to be a proper like goth biker leather type hang out.

794: You might look at that thing on the ceiling and think it's just an air conditioning unit

798: but actually it's a relic from the days that you could smoke in pubs.

802: It's actually a smoke extractor.

804: Now when you go into a pub it just smells of B.O. and sweat and beer.

806: If you look at the poster as well they all have a nice yellow tint.

810: More of a goth pub back from the early 80s.

814: We've got live music there's a stage down there.

816: Yeah we support lots of local bands.

818: Tonight we've got a band called Gattaca.

820: Very good.

821: Check them out youtube facebook.

823: And in general you can find us on facebook as in The Dev N.W.1.

825: full schedule of shows.

832: One of the most famous musicians to come out of Camden was of course Amy Winehouse.

834: I'm just coming up to her house where I think she died.

836: Number 30 Camden Square.

839: It seems to have turned into a sort of shrine.

842: Amy winehouse died on 23rd of July 2011 aged just 27 of alcohol poisoning.

848: She was the first British female artist to win 5 grammies.

852: People keep trying to nick the road signs as sort of mementoes.

855: Not to be encouraged that kind of behaviour.

862: I'll buy you both a drink for your help.

866: So after that rather sombre interlude this is our final pub.

870: This is the one that was built by the English for the Scots.

872: Don't ask me why it's spelt like that.

874: I've heard that it's because the English were trying to take the piss of the Scots or something.

878: The idea was that the Scots the Irish, the brits and the welsh were all fighting each other

884: That's why they built these different pubs.
