The Harlesden Walk of Music

On Wednesday last week, which was World Reggae Day, the Harlesden Walk of Music was launched. Twelve special stones have been scattered in and around the High Street, all celebrating music giants with a connection to the area. Bob Marley doesn't get a mention because he merely spent a year living in Neasden, two miles distant. The project was created by community group Harlesden Bassline in partnership with Brent Council and used £70,000 of funding from the government’s UK Shared Prosperity Fund. The stones were embedded in the pavement a few months ago, but only on 1st July did the great and good gather to celebrate the fact you can now walk all over them. It's not just singers and bands, the commemorative discs also pay homage to record producers and record shops based in the local area.
