Martin Addison for The Guardian writes:
The pleasingly ramshackle area of central London where punk was born and you went to buy a banjo is now includes a multi-billion ‘super-flexible brand engagement platform’….
…Once upon a time, just outside Soho in central London, there was a legendary hive of musical energy. It was centred on Denmark Street – Britain’s Tin Pan Alley – a strip of shops selling instruments and sheet music, with clubs and bars and such things as production facilities and agents’ and managers’ offices….
An almost endless roll call of greats made music there….
Many hundreds of millions of pounds’ worth of construction later, there is still a street of musical instrument shops, plus new venues and production facilities….
On paper, then, its mix of uses is like that of the past, but in spirit it is utterly changed.
