The British Music Experience is among the most anticipated musical
London events and is a must-see extravaganza for every music follower. It is one of the rare music events that are aimed at presenting both the contemporary and historic forms of British music. The British Music Experience 2009 includes a multitude of musical offerings in the form of presenting performances based on the most famous of musical acts and bands of the yesteryears and a live commentary on the present-day music scene. It is has been counted among the most happening of London’s social events as it is not often that the last sixty years of British music are celebrated under one roof, i.e. the O2 Arena. The Experience is among those rare musical shows that delve beyond the realm of just putting-up enthralling performances. It promised and has delivered to be the most interactive of
music events that Britain has ever witnessed. The British Music Experience has already begun at the O2 Arena and has been seeing packed houses since its first show on 09th March 2009 and will continue to captivate audiences till 15th January 2010.
The Experience provides every individual at the O2, a chance of recording their songs along with the chance to pick-up instrumental skills from the legends of the business who will be at the venue. The O2 Arena presents a never-before opportunity to visit the Gibson Interactive Studio and learn to play the guitar, drums and many other electronic instruments and they will be tutored by KT Tunstall, Amy Macdonald and The Magic Numbers. Music events have never offered such levels of participatory interface and now the initiative has been taken further in the form of offering voice coaching modules. The Experience 2009-2010 is among those unique musical shows that emphasize on letting the audience get close and personal with the kind of music they adore.
The O2 Arena has even arranged for special audio-visual spots that give the attendees an insight into how music is actually produced and presented in the format that we have become so accustomed to seeing. Further, those who are keen to trace the history of music have the opportunity of listening to some never-seen-before interviews and even download rare music numbers from the yesteryears. There have been attempts made in the past to trace the history of British music but none of these London events have been as successful and grandeur in their presentation like the Experience. None of the previously-arranged music events have been able to comprehensively relay the glory of British music scene, starting from the forties in such an engaging manner.
The eternal favourites like the Beatles, Dusty Springfield and the Rolling Stones are there to entertain you and so are the modern-day hit bands like Coldplay, Arctic Monkeys and Oasis. Further, what has augmented British Music Experience’s reputation among the educated London events is the fact that it tries to trace the affect that music has had on the British society over the past few decades. The reason becomes quite apparent — it is hard to think of musical or
social events from the present or past age that have been able to highlight the relationship between music and the society including, its fashion trends, the arts and politics. Collectors too can get their hand on some of the most authentic memorabilia of the Rock & Roll decades. Tickets for the British Music Experience cost £10.00 to £15.00 and there are no known age restrictions.
