In 1984 the MELA, as usual, was based in Hanbury Street. The organisers recognised that most people lived on the Chicksand Estate. If it rained then music etc could be resumed in the Montefiore Centre. It was a community event organised by locals unlike the commercial MELA we’ve seen on Brick Lane in recent years.
