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

    • Pickup your dogs shit off the street, it's so simple. Don't own a dog if you cannot do this basic service. Pathetic. Cleaning my shoes of dog shit for the 2nd time this month. What's going on? 
    • Hi SpringTime, I completely understand the concern for protecting birds, but using bells on cats is a bit more complicated. While they may reduce hunting success, they're not always effective & can cause stress for some cats, who are highly sensitive to sound. A better solution is to ensure cats are kept indoors during peak bird activity & providing plenty of enrichment at home to satisfy their hunting instincts. There's a terrible misconception that cats do not require as much mental & physical enrichment as dogs do. But they do, if not more so.

    • Hi Nigello, Many spayed/neutered & microchipped cats actually don't wear collars, as they often go missing & can pose risks.  Microchipping is far more reliable for reuniting lost cats with their guardians. Some of our clients even keep sacks of collars on standby because their cats frequently return without them - a comical but telling example of how impractical collars can be. A major contributor to unspayed/unneutered cats & kittens is purchasing from breeders, where these measures are often overlooked. Adopting from shelters, on the other hand, ensures all precautionary steps - like spaying/neutering, microchipping, as well as vaccinations - are already in place.
