That's potential-customer input.The sing-a-long sessions in the old CPT were only once a month not every Sunday and due to the layout of the old bar, you could just as easily enjoy a drink without being part of the music if thats what you wanted.> Glad she brought it up because if there was folk> singing on a Sunday I would avoid it too - doesn't> mean I want folkies to stop having a "loverly time> the day we went to Bangor..." (stop it!)I used to think the same thing, not being a fan of folk music, but I went along to a few and each time was pleasantly surprised by how much fun singing is and I really enjoyed hearing the songs. I appreciate its not everyone's cup of tea but in a pub that didn't have many people in on a wintry Sunday evening, it must have really helped their custom. I think its lovely that we have people around who are willing to take the time to arrange this and its one of the things I like about living here.

Chippy Minton Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Sue - not sure why you can't see it, but if you click on her username the userprofile states "Posts: 37." The other 35 will have been on threads since deleted by admin to free up space. This isn't unusual - you'll see you have posted 9,150 times, but only 5,723 of these can still be viewed live on the forum.

Razors Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 TracyLlew Wrote:-------------------------------------------------------> please no more so called folk singing on sundays> please please, :))Well I feel TracyLlew is right - the catawauling of the unwashed catweasel types was truely awful. The din completely ruined the Super Sunday post match discussions and debates.And the smell of patchuli oil lingered in the bar for days! Adam the manager knew he was leaving and allowed this motley bunch of poor warblers to use the bar as a parting shot as a disgruntled employee. I don't know where they will go when the Mag gets fed up, but I hope I hope its not a street corner near me. . . I am hoping that the new place will be good etc but I fear it is the end of a backstreet pub that the area really needs, rather than trendy kid welcoming bars.

Otta Posted March 13, 2012 Author Share Posted March 13, 2012 Anyway, enough of that, it's off topic, but I still find it odd that she should find it necessary to use this thread to have a go at people providing enjoyment for others. Ha ha, love that. "Enough already, lets stay on topic.... But she's a bitch"I have no problem with live music (obviously), but have to admit, that if I was in a pub for a pint, and a "singaround" started, I'd leave. No offence intended, just not my bag.Anyway, saw a photo of the interior the other day that a friend took. Completely unrecognisable. Doesn't look bad, but unfortunately, it doesn't look any different to places like the Mag.

KidKruger Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 It's fair enough to have a preference that a specific night / event does not happen at a venue.However the comments about the folk club come across more like attacks on it.It hasn't been held at CPT for some time, so is a non-issue for that venue, especially now there is just the one bar area.But comments like it being a 'so-called' folk club are derogatory, suggesting it's some weak substitute for the real thing.I think there's a disgruntled other agenda at the heart of those comments, which is not being honestly represented by those posters.

Chippy Minton Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Hopefully TheGreatExhibition, Dan, Darren and his team will make full use of the "What's on in East Dulwich" section of the forum so we all know when to avoid the pub and when we want to use it.

maxxi Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 I have no real issue with live music either - I just don't like folk music or 'singarounds' and don't need to be encouraged to give it a go or get PMs telling me 'each to their own'. The way the folkie mafia (Sue, KK, Flapjak) stomped all over this thread in righteous indignation has put me off even more.

*Bob* Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 It would be great if there could be a day which was free of both folk singing and football. Thursdays would be good for me.
