New first citizen to be 'Rock n Roll Mayor' with broadcaster Amy Lame as Mayoress
Tuesday May 25, 2010
CAMDEN is to get its first 'Rock n Roll Mayor'. Labour councillor Jonathan Simpson is due to be confirmed as the borough's first citizen at a ceremony at the Town Hall tomorrow night. His theme for the next 12 months will be Camden's famous musical heritage and he has chosen the Roundhouse Trust, which helps youngsters access the arts, as the Mayor's charity. His Mayoress will be broadcaster and friend Amy Lame (pictured), while the London Gay Men's Chorus will perform at the ceremony.
Labour councillor Abdul Quadir is due to serve as deputy mayor.

Brilliant news...
Submitted by Anonymous on Fri, 2010-05-28 12:14.Camden's new Labour leadership is really inspiring... seems to be a bunch of people who are all really committed to supporting and helping people, promoting equality and human rights - and overall just being extremely nice folk.
Amy is wonderful, couldn't ask for a better mayoress!
