About CM

Croydon currently has a population of close to 350,000 people but currently there isn't a central point for people in the borough to get news, events and advice or music related topics. We at Croydon Music aim to be that central point where people can come and find out what's happening within the borough. There are many organisations and festivals in Croydon such as the Brit School, The Croydon Summer festival (featuring the Croydon Mela) and much more, and currently more musical activity is being planned. The UK music industry contributes nearly five billion pounds to our economy every year and more than 130,000 people work in it in some way, shape or form. In a country with a vibrant live music scene, government commitment to music education for young people and a music market that … [Read More...]
