heh, not in ED.. it's far too mumsy and middle classed for all that ;-)


Boho/Adventure did live Jazz midweek for a bit but not sure that's still on, perhaps the wrong crowd?


I reckon you'll have to go to Peckham or Brixton for that kind of thing


This place in Peckham is meant to be quite cool: http://www.clfartcafe.org/Site/HOME.html


Or there's the Hootananny in Brixton: http://www.hootanannybrixton.co.uk/ they've a large outdoor area at the front


I lived 2 mins from that in Herne Hill for 2 years but never visited it... think I might be remedying that tomorrow!


let me know what you decide on if it's not something I've mentioned... always keen to know about new places!

xxxxxxxxxx


We had a sell-out gig at DHFC on Friday night with well over 200 people there, of all ages, to see Martin Simpson.


Too boring for live music?


Not.


ETA: But it wasn't the kind of music mentioned in the OP, which was why I haven't posted before.


ETA: One of the emails we received afterwards (wouldn't normally do this but but a bit peeved that people seem to think there's nothing decent happening locally with live music :)):


"Just wanted to let you know that me and my friends had an utterly utterly BRILLIANT night on Friday. You know when you enjoyed it so much you feel quite exhausted after? Thanks so much for running these nights they are an absolute institution. It was so great to have performers of all ages too. I can't wait for the next one."

And if anyone fancies seeing a band who play sixteen different instruments between them, come and see


Crownstreet


Upstairs at the Mag on Friday 8 June.


OK you might think it's not your thing, but on the other hand you might be pleasantly surprised ....


But - it's LIVE MUSIC IN EAST DULWICH which The Goose Is Out! has been putting on on a regular basis for over four years ..... :))

Have you tried the Old Nuns Head pub? We saw "Eli-rose and Garry" about a month or so ago. They did soul, r n b & soft rock covers and we had a great time & really enjoyed their range of music. She is young & has a fabulous voice and he's a great guitarist and they had someone on percussion too which was nice. They have a room upstairs for private functions and we've been to a couple of parties up there too. The pub posts in the What's On in East Dulwich section. Worth a look perhaps. . . ;-) PS And they have an outside space - a beer garden with tables.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
