Clapham Music Scene

SO FLOM HQ’s new home is in the up and coming area of Clapham in South West London. A trendy area which has seen much development over the past ten years. It is fitting then that as this area develops, ‘For the Love of Music’ adds to the mix and is taking the opportunity to add a fresh and innovative touch to the local music scene. With several venues already offering occasional music evenings it is a good starting point to take live music to the next level. Venues in the area include ‘Arch 365′, a cosy bar hidden away under the railway arches close to Clapham North station offering live band and open mic nights. Also nearby is the Clapham North pub which has weekend acoustic lounge sessions. Stay tuned for further indepth blogs on a variety of these venues.

FLOM would like to introduce you to The Rose Gale Trust, a charity organisation set up in the south of England to help support and provide meaningful grants to young people. It is in honour and memory of Rose Gale a wonderful lady who worked with, supported and inspired very many young people during her life.

The ideas of the Rose Gale Trusts are the following:

developing skills and experience

getting training and education

needing help in a crisis

helping others

having great ideas

A source of funding for this charity includes a variety of musical events which are organised around the Salisbury area, a few events have already taken place, but more are being planned for September 2010, so make sure you check out the website for further details of this. You can also donate directly to them and also contact them if you have any marvellous ideas which may help them out.
