No 4 Denmark Street could be the most important single address on Tin Pan Alley. It’s housed Regent Sound, the studio where the Rolling Stones recorded their debut album, the Helter Skelter bookshop that specialised in books about music, and is now home to Regent Sounds, London’s best guitar shop. Other residents include Johnny Dankworth and Essex Music, publishers of the Rolling Stones among others. There might even be a connection to the Krays.
I will be giving a talk about the general history of Denmark Street amid the Fenders at No 4 on Friday December 15 at 7.30pm, and then signing copies of the second edition of Denmark Street: London’s Street Sound. Crispin Weir, who owns Regent Sounds, will be talking about the history of No 4 in particular, having done extensive research into the building over the years. It should be a great event for anybody who loves music, books, history and guitars. Hope to see you there.
Denmark Street talk – at No 4 Denmark Street, WC1, on Dec 15, 7.30pm.
The Great Wen 
Hello again Peter. I wonder, during your research, whether you happened to watch the Bananarama documentary which features them returning to their Denmark St abode that was found for them by Steve Jones?
From the video it looks to be on the even number side of the street, and quite near the St.Giles end.
All my best,
David
PS it’s less than 5 minutes into it, so you don’t have to watch the whole thing. Being that much younger than me, you weren’t rearranged by the early, punky Bananarama, which is all I’ll say on the matter.
Hello Peter
Is this event still postponed ? There isn’t any additional information.Will it be rescheduled ?
If so, do you have a date in mind ? Really look forward to it. Jack 07954 413441 griffiti007@gmail.com
It will hopefully take place in January when things at the shop are less busy after Christmas.
