The inaugural Nashville Meets London
festival, which took place in August 2016, drew thousands of
festivalgoers to the Canary Wharf estate that were actively engaged in
the show – singing, dancing and many baring Country-lifestyle attire.
The event drew an impressive number of people and left an overwhelmingly
positive response among UK-based Country music fans and locals.
The
site of the annual festival, Canada Square Park, is located in the
heart of Canary Wharf and is surrounded by award-winning gardens and
over 300 shops, bars and restaurants. Canary Wharf is located in the
former London Docklands. For the past ten years, Canary Wharf has hosted
the Canary Wharf Jazz Festival, which is largest free jazz festival in the UK, and has a long history of promoting arts and culture throughout its estate.
Nashville Meets London
is co-produced by Canary Wharf Arts + Events, Peter Conway Management
and Nashville-based agency, The AristoMedia Group. Baylen Leonard, BBC
Radio 2 Country DJ, is the artistic program consultant.
