 It is the interaction between the artists on stage and the young people that makes the Roundhouse unique.
Young people have interviewed Sir Paul McCartney for the Roundhouse's online radio station during the BBC Electric Proms, taken musical advice from James Brown and worked with Apple to deliver a live stream of Underworld's Roundhouse performances to 50,000 people across the world. In this safe environment young people can develop self-esteem and confidence or gain valuable experience to help launch a career.
For three months of every year the Roundhouse is available for hire for corporate and private events for anywhere between 200 and 2,000 guests. Yet even in this more conventional role we stick to our guiding principles; all income goes directly towards our work with young people. As a charity, we are also reliant upon corporate sponsorships and public and private funding to continue this work.

Since reopening, almost half a million people have attended an event at the Roundhouse. Its enviable musical heritage – the Roundhouse has previously played host to the likes of Jimi Hendrix and the Doors (their only UK gig) – has been revived, with performances from Kasabian, Jarvis Cocker, Paul McCartney, The Chemical Brothers, The Beastie Boys, The Who, Morrissey and James Brown.
The Roundhouse is a pioneer of contemporary culture and has continually pushed boundaries. Today the Roundhouse offers diversity in music, theatre, dance and circus, in addition to nurturing young creative talent. |
