I know South London has always been rubbish compared to North for live music, but can anyone recommend any pubs / bars / venues where they have seen new original bands playing?


The Amersham Arms in New Cross was always a good one, but no idea if it still has live music, so if anyone has been there in the last year or so, that would be useful info.


Basically, in our new(ish) band, 3 out of 4 of us are SE London based, and it can be difficult to drag your mates over to North London to see you (especially when your mates are lazy swines like mine), so would really like to do something this side of the river.

Never heard of that one, cheers.


Windmill was the one that immediately sprang to mind, along with Amersham Arms and The Hob. Will be looking in to all of those.


Another idea might be to try and get a few bands together and split the cost of hiring a venue, then split door takings to cover outlay. Any other bands out there who might be up for that? I could definitely get us a night at The Half Moon, which has a nice set up.

The Hootenany has an amazing night on Fridays and Sat which is really Ska focussed but great atmosphere. I think they also won best live music pub award recently - they might be up for other bands outside of the Fri/Sat night thing.


I also had a really good night at the Golden Lion in Sydenham a few months back at their blues club - but they put bands on.

    • "You have no idea why"   To be fair Sue, it's blindingly obvious to anyone who has a conversation with anyone who isn't a Corbyn supporter. And even some who liked Corbyn (like me initially) found him somewhat flaky even at his most popular But let's say you are right and I have NO idea why anybody might not vote for him. They still didn't vote for him. He lost two elections. The second one badly (and strongly predicted but the stubborn old goat wouldn't budge so we we were stuck with Johnson and another 3 million PMs in the 5 years that followed) So even with ZERO evidence, we have our eyes and ears and brains But we do have evidence   https://yougov.co.uk/politics/articles/27022-their-own-words-why-voters-abandoned-labour
    • As I said, it was my understanding. I worded it very carefully. I didn't/don't know for sure, so clearly not a fact. And hardly an "opinion", which is something completely different. You have no idea what reason anybody might have had for not voting for him (unless you can point to some opinion poll results which actually asked people?)
    • Also, just to add, the threat to kill someone's dog and try to kick it, is an additional extremely unpleasant layer. I have noticed a lot of the burst water balloons lying around in the park too- that is not great for the environment either.
