Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!

Is Carl Barat a local?

Just heard his song which refers to a girl in Harringay. Lyrics here:

Is he a local? If so, is he the first local pop star?

Hi there,

Just saw this post. He lives in Muswell Hill. I interviewed him last year but I can't track down a link to the interview right now. :)

He also played a gig in the Big Green Bookshop in Wood Green about two or three months ago to help launch his book...

I hope the writing in his book's a bit more sophisticated than his lyrics:

"I'm happy with the sound of the train

The smell of the rain

I guess I'm still the same"

That was mean, sorry Carl! If I'd have known about the BGB launch I'd have gone and I'd have bought the book!
