Welcome to the "Listen to London 2009"


"Listen to London 2009" is dedicated to the re-released of the long lost film about the 1981 British Indy Music Revolution, which is now available again on DVD.

Made in 1981 exclusively for an American audience, Listen to London is a documentary about the amazing explosion of talent and energy in early eighties London, as British rock bands attempted to escape the strangle-hold of the recording industry.

"Listen to London" recently had it's "27 year late" British premiere in Brighton, England.

The December 2008 event was staged by "The Papers" who opened and closed the film, as they re-launched their agit-pop band with a new format and new line-up.

The filmmakers attended the premiere. The day included an interview at a local rock and community oriented radio station, a panel discussion on issues in British music, then and now and a gig by "The Papers" that evening at the local popular venue, The Coalition Club.


Tom Bailey of the Thompson Twins attended, as did Author and BBC/Capital Radio DJ, Charlie Gillett, who was interviewed in the film.

The whole day was a blast. It showed that there is an enormous resurgence of interest in the music of those almost ancient and distant days.

This site is dedicated to keeping that interest alive and updating everyone in the progress of "Listen to London" as it emerges from the mists of time.

We invite anyone interested in the music and politics of the eighties, to contact us with news, views, questions and comments. The industry and creative changes that have taken place are enormous and we want to hear your reflections on the evolution of the whole British music scene and the world in general.

We particularly want to hear from those musicians who appeared in the film and their fans.

We will also keep you posted on when and where"Listen to London" will
