London is the Place for Me is a great workshop to get your students thinking about different influences on London's culture and British popular music. Developing the students’ enquiry skills this workshop explores how the bands and artists considered to be inherently British are often inspired by music from other countries. Did you know one of Britain’s most famous and successful bands was influenced heavily by music of Indian origin? Your students will be inspired by this workshop to investigate Britain’s rich musical history with a new perspective.
