Open Mic Mondays at The Cherry Tree


Recommended Posts

I'm a punter, with no connection to the pub, so hope it's alright to post in this section.


The event is already mentioned by the pub in the What's On section, but I thought people might want to talk about it here as well.


They are trying to establish it every Monday, from seven, and it's on tonight. It's free and everyone who performs gets a free drink too!


I've been to the first two, and would love something like this to get established in East Dulwich. It's been people singing with guitars, but they also welcome spoken word, which is what I do.


I n=know these things take a while to get established, and I hope this one does.


If it works I think it will be the only one in East Dulwich.


Does anyone know of any more, locally-(ish)? I know there's a Tuesday nighter in Gipsy Hill, but not been to that before.

I think they tried this at the Rose.. Forest Hill Rd. before it finally closed down..


Why can't pubs just stick to selling decent Beer , Wine and good food...

Which the Cherry Tree seems to already been doing..


Sodding Quizzes and Open Mike nights do not appeal to the majority of folk..

They give the impression of a failing business. Well to me they do..


Monday is probably a bad choice for open mike..

Sounds a good idea to me.

Will come along soon and maybe drag out a cover.


DF - that's a darn negative post, I think you should get up and do a spot at the open mic as punishment. One of your spoken word monologues - you could recite 'the best of Foxy on East Dulwich Forum', backwards, in Serbo-Croat, whilst drinking a glass of milk through one nostril !!

(And Monday is a common day for open mic cos it don't impact the weekend business / punters)

Whilst I can't complain where this message is...I did post it in the general section because I wanted to bring the event to the wider attention of people who look on this forum, might be interested, but only have time to look at the 'general' page.

It's somewhat hidden tucked away on this page. I didn't post it as the person behind the night...just as someone who wanted it to do well...

What you mean is that you don't like them so they shouldn't happen. I personally quite like a quiz and some live music in a pub.

Hi Inbetweener, have you seen my post for the Dulwich Jam? This is a well established and amazing community gathering.

We mix professional and amateur musicians, singers, poets on the first Wednesday of every month. Either in a solo spot or with a/our band behind them. We have spoken word artists, some have now put their lyrics to music with the help of our house musicians. we pride ourselves on being the friendliest open mic on the circuit, as everyone wants to encourage others to showcase their talents. Absolutely no ego trips allowed!

A meal is available and the beer is much cheaper than pubs ?3:50 a pint

Entry is free, feel free to bring your mates and check us out.

The next one is next Wednesday 1st June 8pm

Southwark Sports Bowls & Social

The Clubhouse, 37 Dulwich Common (next to Dulwich Riding School) SE21 7EU

    • Plenty for sale online from various ticket vendors but you'll need to part with £250 and upwards by the looks of it. Out of interest i kept an eye on the prices for the England and Italy Euro final. At one point they were on offer for a couple of grand each. On the day sellers were obviously getting itchy feet and prices dropped somewhat but never went any lower than £400. That was a few hours before kick off. There was plenty still available half an hour before kick off.   Having been to Wembley a couple of times for play off finals i found it to be not a great place to watch football. Sat three rows back from the pitch side advertising hoardings for one game and way way up in the gods for the other. We felt to far away from the pitch on both occasions. Up in the goods was just stupid because we felt cut off as well.  I don't think it was rebuilt with acoustics in mind either. Even with most of our 25k fans singing it never sounded loud because it's pretty much uncovered and too open.   Happy hunting!
    • It doesn't work as a commercial venture.  Bit churlish to say I told you so.  I told you so.  I'll send less greetings cards.  What pees me off is international postage where you can no longer send light letters at 10 grammes, normal ones up to 20g, now all at the much more expensive 100 g  Didn't we vote to take back control and price everything according to irrational units like ounces? That's some obscure humour btw   
    • Available from Monday April 8th 2024, 2on2Walkies take pride in doggie care and only walk 2 furry friends at a time. I make sure that they get plenty of doggie interaction and socialisation in the park as well as making friends. Back home happy and tired I always check that the water bowl has fresh water and always make sure the doggie is left comfortable before I leave. I'm fully insured and have a couple of slots available for local walks to either Peckham Rye Park or Dulwich Park.  Thank you!  
    • Why would they only send them recorded delivery? I used the signed for option yesterday.
