LIVE MUSIC
Included here is Kings Cross Summer Sounds, not a market but a FREE twelve day programme of music and performance for all to enjoy. A full spectrum of sounds from Classical, to Jazz, to Experimental - with live concerts every day from 6.30-8.30pm from the 10th to 21st August. A wonderful way to spend the summer evenings, with the option of keeping the party going for longer by heading to Goods Way for Sweetwater Lates, open every Thursday to Saturday from 8pm until late. Suffice to say it offers the best in beats from hip hop, tribal rhythms and techno to dance and psychedelia from the likes of DJ Yoda, Fruit Salad Records and Secretsundaze to name a few.
