A while ago 'Chris-Purplemusic' advertised a new group she's doing called 'crazy basses'. It's a Saturday morning 1 hour class teaching mini-bass (ie double bass, but small sized versions for the kids). The classes are a mix of learning the instrument and musicianship skills. The age range, I think, is 5-11.


Anyway, we went on Saturday and thought it was great- a real opportunity to learn an (unusual) instrument right here in East Dulwich. Chris is a professional player and really lovely.


I'm not related in any way to her, but just wanted more people to hear about it, so please contact her direct, not me!

I saw the post too and meant at the time to post to say that I was given a similar opportunity when I was 9 or 10 and went on to play the double bass for years. I loved it and had so many great experiences playing in orchestras with other young people. It's a wonderful and unusual instrument to play and I only wish I was still playing!

    • He seemed to me to be fully immersed in the Jeremy Corbyn ethos of the Labour Party. I dint think that (and self describing as a Marxist) would have helped much when Labour was changed under Starmer. There was a purge of people as far left as him that he was lucky to survive once in my opinion.   Stuff like this heavy endorsement of Momentum and Corbyn. It doesn't wash with a party that is in actual government.   https://labourlist.org/2020/04/forward-momentum-weve-launched-to-change-it-from-the-bottom-up/
    • I perceive the problem.simply as spending too much without first shoring up the economy.  If the government had reduced borrowing,  and as much as most hate the idea, reduced government deiartment spending (so called austerity) and not bowed to union pressures for pay rises, then encouraged businesses to grow, extra cash would have entered the coffers and at a later stage when the economy was in a stronger position rises in NI or taxes would have a lesser impact, but instead Reeves turned that on its head by increasing ni which has killed growth, increased prices and shimmied the economy.  What's worse is that the perceived 20 billion black hole has increased to 30 billion in a year. Is there a risk that after 5 years it could be as high as 70 billion ???     
    • That petition is bananas.   If you want a youth centre there pay the landlord the same rent a Londis would and build it yourself or shut the f**k up to be honest. Wasting our MPs time with this trivial nonsense is appalling. If your kids are still out at 1am on a school night you've got bigger problems than vapes and booze and hot sausage rolls. 
    • There used to be a better baker than Gail's on the same site immediately before Gail's pulled their financial muscle.
