Sophie Delila
Get ready, set, go for the Summer of Love festival in Carnaby Street on Saturday 5th June! This free event features a stage for up and coming as well as established musical talent. Bands and DJs will also perform in some stores, making shopping a fun and unusual experience.
Sophie Delila is thrilled to have been asked by Liberty’s CEO, Geoffrey de la Bourdonnaye, to perform on their first ever music stage as part of this event. This will be erected just outside the store for Saturday 5th June.
The event is part of the 50th anniversary of Carnaby Street – 1960 is the year Carnaby began to swing, and the event is a nod to the area’s music heritage, which includes Jimi Hendrix, The Who and The Kinks who wrote about Carnaby Street in their 1966 hit ‘Dedicated Follower of Fashion’.
Delila will be performing with her band, and the performance will feature songs from her forthcoming album, Hooked, which is to be released on 31st May. In a unique move, the record will be available to purchase in-store at Liberty – a retailer that traditionally does not stock music. Special signed copies will also be available.
In addition to Sophie’s performances on the Liberty Music Stage there will also be appearances throughout Carnaby including the cast from Hair, Connett, Red Track, The Small Fakers, The Last Grand and New Vinyl. The weekend will also include go go dancers, exhibitions and even an elephant parade. So what’s not to like?!
