one strong thread as far as I can see in London's music scene is the Open House Arts Collective. there's a list (not sure if it's complete or out-of-date on wikipedia) I'm wondering if anyone has heard of any of them:
* A Horse and His Boy
* Alanna Gurr
* A Lending Library
* For Love or Money
* Handsome Dan and His Gallimaufry
* The Lava Lamps
* Aaron Lozynsky
* Olenka and the Autumn Lovers
* Sam Allen
* The State Bird of Idaho
* Sunday/Monday
* Bryan Pole
* The Whipping Wind
* Blair WhatmoreAn error occurred while saving the comment Mike Knoll

good points Steph. However, I personally believe that culture isn't something that you should have to flush out through research and questions...I think culture is something that should be obvious and apparent.
Culture emits from a city's downtown and the culture I see in London is most apparent on Richmond Row after 2am when the bars get out. Testosterone, aggression, over-indulgence and civic ignorance.
I always cite Guelph as an example of a SWOntario town that has a culture that smacks you in the face. You can't visit Guelph and not take away a feeling of unity amongst the downtown businesses and patrons -- it's a culture of eco-minded liberal artists and both the music and arts scenes are unavoidable.Mike Knoll

remember the Canadian Comedy Festival? Winnipeg has really taken it and run with it like London never did. we deserved to lose it.
a friend from Peterborough was visiting on the weekend and told a group of us what his favourite thing about London is: "watching the fights when the bars get out."
not sure if that says more about him or about London.
