So I went to get an exclusive sneek peek of the British Music Experience exhibition at the O2 in Greenwich yesterday (Weds 4th March) and I have to say it's definitely worth a visit. It is essentially a look at the history of music in Britain, from all the way back in the 1940s to the present day and it features a full and extensive timeline and information on all of the different music movements from skiffle, to breakbeat, to pop, to rock, to hip hop, to rnb, to garage. The exhibition officially opens to the public on Monday 9th March, and is held in the top floor of the O2 bubble. In addition to the features I just mentioned, there are tons of interactive features including the Gibson Interative Studio which is a room where you can learn how to play instruments from the guitar to the piano to the drums to a personal favourite of mine, Hey Mr DJ, which is essentially a duke box with tracks dating back to the 60's.
Check out some of the biiiiig tunes I came across whilst using this feature ....
And these were just a few of the tracks that I heard that day thanks to an extremely friendly member of staff who was bubbling along to the music with me in the middle of the exhibition. What? What can I say? The music can take hold of you in the most random of places
