Club Foot Harlow was launched on 19th May 2017 by The Christian O'Connell Breakfast Show (Absolute Radio) with Kasabian and Wickes. Why 'Club Foot'?
Club Foot is based at Burnt Mill Academy, First Avenue, Harlow, Essex CM20 2NR
An initiative from the Burnt Mill Academy Trust, Club Foot (named after the Kasabian song) played host to Brekfest 2017 which saw a live broadcast of the Christian O'Connell Breakfast Show with a live performance from Kasabian. The aim is to provide a community live performance venue with events for all ages easily acc
essible for the Harlow community and beyond. Part of the Absolute Radio Brekfest competition included a challenge to rewrite the lyrics of a Kasabian song outlining our community venue pitch. Students from Burnt Mill Academy performed a reworked version of Kasabian's 'Club Foot' which was chosen on air as the winner.

Between sound checks we spoke to BBC Essex on Friday about what Club Foot is. You can hear it on http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p05ss6yn around the 1hr 45min mark.
Ian Puckey sits in to bring you the big Essex stories of the day and your calls.
Rockney star Chas Hodges – one half of Chas & Dave – is helping to launch a musical campaign in Harlow.
The musician, whose partnership is famed for its pub singalong style of music, appears in new film Instrument of Change: Street Piano.
The documentary looks at the trend of street pianos which are popping up around the world and bring players and audiences together.
A screening by Club Foot at Burnt Mill Academy, in Harlow, will be attended by Chas and Henri Herbert, former member of The Jim Jones R***e. who will also perform live on the night.
The event will be the launch of a fundraising project to bring street pianos to public places in Harlow Public Piano Project - Harlow.
Adam Smith, Club Foot venue manager, said: “I’m really excited to be able to host this event. After watching the film, I was inspired to do something.
“I’ve worked with Henri and Chas on many occasions, promoting their gigs in Harlow and travelling the country with them. A YouTube clip of Henri performing on a public piano at St Pancras station, which has been viewed more than 16 million times, always grabs people’s attention.
“This is the start of a wider project where we would like to see pianos in public spaces in Harlow and Stansted. I see daily in schools how a piano can draw people together and how it highlights a common interest in those who may not necessarily interact otherwise.
“This is the first event like this we have held. It’s more than just a screening as we’ll have the filmmaker and some of the stars of the film in attendance and performing, making it a fully interactive experience.”
Henri said: “Street pianos are a fun way to bring people together and share stories.”�
To attend the screening, at 7.30pm on March 29, book £10 tickets on musicglue.com/clubfootharlow
THANK YOU! To everyone who played a part in making last night a success for us. Los Pepes & Cyanide Pills for making it a top supporting bill and the legendary Eddie & The Hot Rods - their final time performing in Harlow, and what a way to bow out!
Got to mention our great team who worked hard to keep everything working and everyone happy and finally.. YOU! for coming along and supporting live music in Harlow.
It's here if you want it, so keep 'em peeled for announcements coming soon!

Essex legends EDDIE & THE HOT RODS have announced that 2018 will be their final year of touring. First formed in 1975, the Canvey Island band joined the dots between pub rock and punk, enjoying a ...
A brand new live performance venue in Harlow is included in the line-up for a national celebration of music.
Club Foot was launched at Burnt Mill Academy in May by The Christian O'Connell Breakfast Show on Absolute Radio with an appearance by Kasabian.
The initiative by the Burnt Mill Academy Trust (BMAT) aims to provide the community with a live performance venue with events for all ages in the wake of the closure of popular music venue The Square - Harlow.
The new venue has been kitted out with the Square’s PA and lighting system to bring the professional experience from its predecessor.
Next month, Club Foot – named after a Kasabian song - will become one of the small venues across the country taking part in Independent Venue Week.
Pub rock legends Eddie & The Hot Rods – featuring former Burnt Mill Academy student Richard Holgarth – will perform at the new venue on Friday February 2.
The event marks one year since the last ever gig at The Square, headlined by Eddie & The Hot Rods, before its closure and falls in the band’s last year of performing, as announced last week.
Guitarist Richard, who attended Burnt Mill in the 1970s and still lives in Harlow, is a former co-owner of The Square.
He said: “We are trying to keep live music going in the town. Club Foot is the nearest thing we have to a venue which can afford artistically to put music on in the town which does not follow the usual format of cover bands. It’s quite a gamble for pubs to put on original music and that’s what The Square was all about and we hope Club Foot will be about.
“The new venture is absolutely great. Having been at Burnt Mill in the early 1970s when the school was shiny and new and the hall was used a tremendous amount for plays and music, it’s been really pleasing to restore the stage back to its original dimensions. It is now a stage to rival the Playhouse in terms of size.
“This is the last year we will be touring and we have received such wonderful messages from people who we hope will come along to this event.”
Adam Smith, Club Foot manager and former co-owner of The Square, said: “It has been a great year for us!
“A suggestion in passing has turned into a reality, which was given a massive boost thanks to the Christian O’Connell Breakfast Show. Since then, we have been working hard behind the scenes and have hosted some great events, having the honour of working with Steve White and Al Murray on the tribute to Bob Armstrong; hosting the Harlow is 70 Scooter Ride and watching young people rock at the Battle of the Bands.
“We have made vast improvements to the facilities available for use by Burnt Mill Academy and their summer and winter productions were amazing to see.
“We’re very pleased to be a part of Independent Venue Week and are proud to be hosting Eddie & The Hot Rods – the last band to ever play on stage at The Square.
“Club Foot is about providing a local place where you can come and enjoy quality live music.”
Support on the evening comes from Cyanide Pills and Los Pepes
The event starts at 7.30pm and is for over 16s.Tickets, costing £10, are available from www.musicglue.com/clubfootharlow

RIGHT. Ed Hollis wrote one of Eddie and the Hot Rods hits: “Do Anything You Wanna Do” and his brother is Mark Hollis who was with Talk Talk and so on that basis we think that you should go and see Eddie and The Hot Rods at Club Foot based in Burnt Mill school on First Avenue in Harlow. Eddie and...
