History of Soccer Six Roots
Before the original celebrity football tournament - Soccer Six - kicked off at official football grounds since Autumn 1995 the actual idea began in London’s rock n roll central, Camden Town.
Mark ‘Abes’ Abery fused his love for both music and football – with friends like the legend, Andy Ross (Food Records, Blur etc) and more. The Camden Cup was born.
If 1995 was the kick off year then 1996 was even bigger, like the bands involved, creating some of the most iconic images of Britpop and Cool Britannia. Fast forward 30 years with Music Industry Soccer Six wins mixing up and coming artists with established names, this year, and more milestone moments next year!
2025: A Game Of Two Halves
Part 1: Team Soccer Six staged three triumphant events with supporting grassroots talent at heart.
February: 450 names applied to make an appearance at The Musos Awards. Hosted by Louise Schofield and Laurie Wright, six finalists played The Bands Come Out To Play at The Finsbury (Manor House) in front of the Soccer Six Panel. The 2025 winner is FNTSY.
March: Soccer Six presents The Musos Awards 2025. A Camden party of the year loaded with artists at all levels, up and coming names performing with established star turns. A buzzing room of bands and artists networking – and looking hot on the Musos Awards green carpet - at Electric Ballroom. Hosted by rising star in her own right, Louise Schofield, voted for (and created/presented by) musicians. This Event. Is. Incredible.
