About

Secret 7”, the much-loved charity initiative combining music and art, is making a highly anticipated return to Greenwich Peninsula this April, presented by War Child for the second consecutive year. The exhibition is set to once again bring together a stellar mix of world-class musicians, visionary artists, and passionate collectors. All proceeds will go towards War Child.  

Launched in 2012 and now running its ninth edition, Secret 7” selects seven iconic tracks from globally-renowned musicians, pressing each track onto 100 limited-edition 7” vinyl records. Creatives worldwide, from renowned artists to emerging talents, create one-of-a-kind sleeve designs for each record, interpreting the track in any style or medium of their choosing, resulting in 700 distinctive pieces of collectible art that push the boundaries of what a record sleeve can be. 

These unique sleeved designs will be exhibited at NOW Gallery between 11th April – 1st June 2025, with the designers’ identities kept secret until a big reveal once all items are sold through an online auction. Therein lies the secret.  

During its nine year run, Secret 7” has produced and sold 5,600 one-of-a-kind records, raising over £700,000 for various charities to date.  

Secret 7” tracks for 2025:  
The Cure – Warsong: Troxy Live 2024
Frank Turner – Be More Kind
Gregory Porter – Merchant of Paradise
