Sunfest London kicks off today! We can’t wait to see Victoria Park come alive with music, food, and culture from around the world! 🌎🎶

But before there was Sunfest weekend, there were Monday nights at the York Hotel.

This 1968 photograph by Ian MacEachern shows the original members of the Nihilist Spasm Band outside the Hotel entrance, where their legendary performances first took shape. What began as an experimental gathering of local artists grew into one of Canada’s longest-running avant-garde music groups, drawing artists, professors, students, and curious audiences eager to experience something completely new.

As London celebrates global artists and performers this weekend, we're reminded that the city's creative spirit has long been shaped by musicians and artists who push boundaries, embrace experimentation, and bring communities together through sound.

You can learn more about the Nihilist Spasm Band's handmade instruments in our exhibition 𝘓𝘰𝘯𝘥𝘰𝘯: 𝘈 𝘏𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘺. Plan your visit: https://buff.ly/4pV0RmZ
