It’s up! Bob Marley & the Wailers now have their very own blue plaque in Crystal Palace Park... A huge thanks once again to all of you who contributed to the crowdfunder - what an extraordinary community effort. Thanks also to our wider team, for managing a safe installation and unveiling. While it sadly wasn't possible to invite everyone along and have a big unveiling ceremony in the current circumstances, we're now working on a fantastic short film to celebrate the project and share some recollections of the legendary gig itself. Stay tuned for that in the next few weeks... Finally, we must convey our particular gratitude to Island Records for their very generous backing of the project, to the London Borough of Bromley, Friends of Crystal Palace Park, Crystal Palace Park Trust, Nubian Jak Trust and idVerde for all their support along the way. We really hope you all like it, and that it goes on to becomes a local - and London - landmark, a proud reminder of the remarkable musical heritage right here on our doorstep! #OneLove🎵
We're delighted to say the final design and location of our Bob Marley plaque has been given formal consent by Bromley Council and the Crystal Palace Park Trust. It’ll be securely sited on the South Speaker Tower at the Concert Bowl, clearly visible to park users of all mobilities from the nearby paved path. Fabrication of the plaque is now underway and we aim to unveil it a little later in the Autumn. A big thanks once again to all of you who backed our crowdfunding campaign and helped make it happen. Stay tuned for more updates!
Brilliant news, thanks everyone!
