DLMDD Reveals Iconic Line-up of Future Guests for If These Walls Could Talk Podcast

Sonic branding agency DLMDD will this week unveil the third instalment in its podcast series ‘If These Walls Could Talk’, which explores the history and cultural relevance of London’s most revered music venues.

Following on from episodes featuring Soho jazz institution Ronnie Scott’s and King’s Cross listening bar Spiritland, famed for its exceptional sound system, this newest episode will focus on the extraordinary 60-year history of Camden’s Roundhouse.

DLMDD will also unveil a compelling line-up of future guests and venues to feature on the podcast, which is growing in reach and popularity with every episode.

In this third instalment, DLMDD’s head of agency business Jeremy Newton sits down with Ruth Butler, head of technical and production, Lucy Wood, head of music and Marcus Davey, CEO and artistic director of Roundhouse, to delve into the history, influence and impact of the renowned venue, which first opened as a performing arts venue in 1966.

Over an eclectic 60 years, Roundhouse has hosted artists as varied as Pink Floyd, The Rolling Stones, David Bowie, Jimi Hendrix, Fleetwood Mac, The Doors, The Clash, Patti Smith, Jay-Z, Lady Gaga, PJ Harvey, Janelle Monae and many more.

Alongside its role as an arts venue, the Roundhouse is also home to a registered charity, The Roundhouse Trust, and runs a youth programme, providing young people aged 11-30 with the space to experiment, develop skills and turn creativity into a career. The venue also offers a membership programme for freelancers and creative industry entrepreneurs, underscoring its mission to raise the creative potential of the UK.

This third episode sets the stage for a renewed focus from DLMDD on the cultural importance and community-building power and economic significance of the UK’s live music scene, and the importance of investing in live music and the arts.

Greg Moore, co-founder of DLMDD, said, “Roundhouse epitomises everything that makes music so spiritually, culturally and economically significant to us here in the UK - from its enviable heritage spanning some of Britain’s most renowned performing artists, to its charitable endeavours to empower a diverse, thriving community of young talent and raise the creative potential of the UK.”

Jeremy Newton, head of agency business at DLMDD and host of ‘If These Walls Could Talk’ said: “It’s such a pleasure to sit down and really understand what makes these legendary venues tick, and unearth some cracking stories about the spaces, the parts of London they inhabit and the different scenes that have all contributed to each venue’s legend.”

Marcus Davey, CEO and artistic director of Roundhouse said, “The Roundhouse has an incredible and multi-faceted history which often reflects what is happening in wider society at the time. It was great to join the 'If These Walls Could Talk' podcast to reflect on our history and celebrate the ground breaking moments over the last 60 years."

Future episodes of ‘If These Walls Will Talk’ will take listeners on a journey through the histories and personalities behind venues including The Water Rats, The Ministry Of Sound, Union Chapel, The George Tavern, Windmill Brixton and Village Underground.
