Definitely worth a look Donna - lots of very good food and drink, arty-crafty stalls and live music plus bouncy castle/slide and donkey rides for the kids - very busy last year and a lot of fun in a chaotic noisy colourful kind of way.


ETA: you can check out last year's fair (including pre and post reactions) here

There will be a Goose Is Out! live music stage at the Fair on Goose Green on Sunday, from 11.30am to 4pm.


11.30am - Dulwich Folk Choir


12 midday - James Riley


1pm - The Dulwich Ukulele Club


2pm - The John McLean Band


3pm - The Shakermakers


And here is some information about them all!


The Dulwich Folk Choir.


Led by Aimee Leonard, who has recently moved here from Orkney, this will be the first public performance from this enthusiastic local choir, who will be singing a few traditional songs in three part harmony.


James Riley


Described by Reverbnation as "A fiendishly proficient guitarist and singer", and still only 24, local lad James has turned heads the world over - he has appeared on the same bill as blues legend Buddy Guy in Chicago.


The Dulwich Ukulele Club


This local big band with small guitars rocks up a storm wherever they go. "The Dulwich Ukulele Club are a must see. No kidding." The Guardian.


The John McLean Band


Local folk, blues and soul legend John McLean returns again to Goose Green following his fantastic performance at the Dulwich Festival Fair last year. John sings from the heart, and it shows in the warmth that exudes from the stage whenever he plays.


The Shakermakers


Finishing the afternoon's live music are seven musicians who hail from the heart of East Dulwich. "The best blues and R&B band in South East London" - Rock 'n' Reel. Don't miss them!

Yes, it is a great day if the weather is good. Well worth a visit.


We will have the Peckham Residents? Network stall there as usual with the latest news from Peckham Vision, Southwark Rail Users' Group, and Peckham Society about the shared campaigns to improve Peckham town centre and local rail services (including East Dulwich rail); also with Bellenden Residents' Group info. Friends of Goose Green also will have a stall. So if you get there do come and look for us and say hello, and also enjoy what is usually a good fun day on our wonderful Goose Green open space. It would be great to see some EDF regulars in person!

I'll be helping on my husband's stall on Goose Green this Sunday and Dulwich Park next week. We'll be selling greetings cards and his brand new range of prints for children's rooms from his company Rootytoot, plus some delicious cupcakes. Come and have a look and say hello, the weather is meant to be good!!

...and don't forget the Dulwich Park Fair on the closing Sunday of the Festival, 20 May, from 12-6pm. Dog show, punch and judy, hog roasts and ethnic food, falconry, blacksmith, stalls selling arts, crafts and lots more.


This will also be your chance to input to Southwark on the Hepworth replacement. They are having a stand next to the site from which the sculpture was stolen. Some local artists have also created a small 'Homage to the Hepworth' exhibition for a marquee on the site.

There were so many cupcake stalls some had to be ironic... but there were plenty of cushions there too - and 'hand crafted' jewellery - and some bizarre rags on string being sold as bunting - and several ways of emptying your wallet on creams, lotions and potions designed to create a new and beautiful you... (no gollies that I could see this year though)


...but also a rash of crepe stalls, the excellent Melange choccy stall, a great macaroon stall and the usual beer, jerk, sausage and paella stalwarts.

      Local Carpenter - Langley Carpentry

      By Lgodden · Posted

      Elliot built alcove cupboards and shelves in our lounge room earlier this week. SO happy with them, the quality of joinery is superb and elliot was very communicative with me about checking things and confirming details. Clean and tidy aswell (even brought his own kettle!).    Would definitely recommend for any carpentry or joinery.

      Fireworks

      By Sue · Posted

      I think the only way to sort this is to ban loud fireworks for private sale (and preferably ban fireworks altogether except for public displays). I don't know whether that has implications I'm not aware of eg I have no idea how many people are involved in firework manufacture.

      Very happy to recommend Tommy Rooney's excellent work again. He's been servicing my boiler for years now, but this time he swiftly fixed a leaky radiator valve. I put out a call on Friday and it was repaired - and improved - by Monday evening. I asked him if he had an opinion about my other radiators, and he reassured me as he pointed out the leaky bathroom rad was a non-standard length, which was why it caused problems. There followed a brief but detailed history of improvements in regulations for valves and fittings over the years, so that I could understand precisely what the issue was. How many plumbers will do that for you? "I've just got a memory for weird things," says Tommy modestly.
