Talk:Neasden

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Why was Ginger Baker removed from "notable Neasdonians"? Eric Clapton discusses in a recent documentary "Cream: Classic Artists (2006)" that Baker was from Neasden. Baker is certainly more famous and noteworthy than some others listed as notable. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.179.182.44 (talk) 15:35, 1 March 2008 (UTC) Ginger swiftly set about organising and promoting the band. Melody Maker was alerted to the news and the exclusive MM headline read: 'Eric, Jack & Ginger Team Up'. Leading promoter Robert Stigwood, who had managed the Bond Organisation, became Cream's manager following discussions with Ginger about the new project. Robert announced that Cream would make its debut at the Windsor Jazz & Blues Festival. They would also record a single for Stigwood's new Reaction label called "Wrapping Paper" and an album was scheduled for December.

The first rehearsal took place in the front room at Ginger's home in Neasden. "As soon as we played it was total magic," he recalls. The tunes played at that first Cream session were "Cat's Squirrel" and "Lawdy Mama."

[edit] Coulsdon

Coulsdon is nowhere near Neasden - it's in south, not north, London

[edit] Danger

It seems a bit subjective to say that Neasden is a "dangerous" area. It would be better to compare crime statistics with other areas in London. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.43.209.161 (talk) 14:40, August 27, 2007 (UTC)
