Camden Town Amy Winehouse - Hawley Arms

Visiting Camden Town - hometown of Amy Winehouse, Hawley Arms for a look and feel the legends presence
Darren John & The MacMaster get up close and personal in this icon pub where Amy used to socialise and sometimes pour a pint or two
Brings back so many memories of this talented lady - with lots of memorabilia on the walls, including one of Amy's set lists

Love it❤ This is why I subscribe to good good people like you and Lee. It's not just the reviewing of good food (or bad!!!) But the places and people that you visit that make it! Doing something different. (And I've said it before, the small independent businesses you promote on your way, invaluable ✌🏻) As for "Hawleys" loved it, and the last five minutes of the video, you showed true class! So Respectful. Enough said. As always Love & Respect ❤🤘🏻

[@DarrenJohn]

Thank you Will, very kind of you to say. I wanted to give Amy the respect she deserved 👍🙂

It’s distressing to see all musicians and actors with so much talent succumb to the over excess of alcohol and drugs. Much admiration for those, famous and not being able to overcome their addiction. It’s a lifetime struggle. Great vlog Darren.

Yes very sad Whitney Houston what a singer at the end she lost her voice though drugs and then her daughter did the same thing very sad

Amy also loved the Good Mixer in Inverness Street Camden!

[@AlanTaylorCRSmusicproduction]

The second best pub in Camden, the legendary Dublin Castle is No1 not for its bar area but because it's still a live venue and it's musical history is outstanding with The Good Mixer 3rd. I started drinking in the Hawley in the mid 80s when it was just the downstairs bar. It used to have posters and flyers on the ceiling and was always rammed. A good few years ago they opened up the upstairs bar and turned their roof into a terrace for drinking, making it a much larger pub and it's great, but in my humble opinion it's old incarnation was better as it's patrons were a complete mix of local punks, goths, Camden nutcases as well as the occasional passing customer who soon became a part of it's rich tapestry. These days it's sadly become a hangout for the professional families who go there to eat as much as drink, but it's Camden and it's the 21st century, so what's new. RIP Gary Buckley my old mucka who I used to go there with most times. Subscribed. P.S. As a new subscriber who hasn't had the opportunity to watch all your videos Darren you or both you and the Mac should do a video of both the Dublin Castle and the Good Mixer.

Thank you Alan, I will add to the long list of places to visit

Love Camden. Best pub is The Elephants Head, well worth checking out, been closed for lockdown but re-opening next week. I was a rockabilly in the 80's and we congregated there on Saturdays, followed by music, beer & sometimes a live band at Dingwalls on Saturday afternoons. Elephants is less mucked about with than The Hawley, more original interior features.
