How many of you play a musical instrument? East Dulwich seems to be full of musicians and I wondered about setting up some kind of list of people who might be interested in getting together to play for pleasure now and then. My interest is mostly in classical music. I played piano as a child and reached Grade 8 and started learning cello in mid-life - probably around Grade 6 level. If there's enough interest I'll set up some mechanism where you could register your details.

Pickle... the SBC rehearse every Thursday 7:45-10pm (resuming this week, 10th, after the xmas break). I've been with them for the last 10 years. You may find yourself on the waiting list for the Flute section but they usually welcome you along to a few rehearsals as a taster.

Have just posted the following in the wanted section, but thought I'd put it here too.


We are a new covers / function band, born out of the music at my wedding. The idea is to have the fun of playing music, and make a few quid at the same time.


We currently have Guitar, drums, bass, 2 trumpets, trombone, male and female vocals. We are playing all sorts, from soul, to rock, to pop. It his all going really well, we're getting gigs, and are very pleased with our progress.


The one thing that we feel could improve us is a good keyboard player, as that would open up loads of new possibilities! We were thinking a female who could do some backing vocals would be ideal, but at the end of the day, if you can play well, then your gender / singing ability really doesn't matter!


One thing that is important is that you have your own keyboards, as the only one I have isn't really up to the quality that we are after. We have the PA that it could go through, so amps aren't so important.


We are all experienced musicians, and we are taking this very seriously, so we're not looking to waste anyones time.


If you're interested, PM me on here, or call Matt on 07920556331 and tell him you're responding to Keith's ad.

Seriously, sax could be very useful. The drummer plays a bit, and is often saying he would love some sax in the band! I do have a keyboard which isn't bad, but I'd like someone with a proper good one with all sorts of decent symph sounds. That way we could play loads of 80's, Killers, all sorts!

    • Wanted 2 x Adult and 1 x Children tickets for Dulwich fireworks tonight please!
    • Labour have changed a number of things overnight.   1. VAT on school fees - this has resulted in 25,000 moving until state education. 2. Increasing NICs adding billions to the cost of going to work. 3. Introducing the Employment Rights Bill causing employers to stop hiring. This and item 2 have added 100,000 people to the unemployment scrapheap. These are also causing businesses to relocate further harming the economy. 4. Scrapping all the small boats deterrents meaning 60,000 illegal migrants have arrived in small boats since they were elected. 5. Dishing out huge public sector payroses with no conditions so we have a massively increased payroll and doctors etc arestill going out on strike. 6.changed IHT and non domicile tax rules causing 16,500 millionaires to leave the UK and stop paying any tax here at all forever. 7. Alongside 6, leaving the budget up until an historically late period after the last budget has caused a house price crash, killing the market and decimating government stamp duty receipts. 8. Their profligate borrowing (£100bn extra in just one year) to fund all their lavish promises means the government can now only borrow at the highest ever yields on records. They are more beholden to the bond markets than Liz Truss was. 9. The rate of inflation has doubled under this government. It was a healthy 2% when they came in. For most of the last year, as a result of all of the above it is now nearly 4%.   These are all decisions the Labour government took that have immediate cause and effect.  Its no good harking back to 15 years ago. The current administration was gifted the fastest growing economy in the G7 and within 15 months they have destroyed it.    And things are only going to get worse this winter.      
    • I use Autocar Repair in West Dulwich.. been using them for over 20 years. Excellent service… 
    • A lot to agree with here - don’t get me started on Irish people complaining about immigration! - but that final paragraph is once again a cop out  there’s a lot of extreme right wing money stirring up the division that people are feeling - but there is zero excuse for handing power to these people. We live in a democracy and if we have enough people willing to give it up then judging those people foolish enough to do so is not only something that will happen, it is something that the rest of us should be morally compelled to do  if someone wouldn’t “normally” vote for a racist party yet somehow will do so because they hear someone like me saying that would be bad, then you better believe I’m judging them
