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.

      There’s a couple of Gov petitions going on in relation to fireworks at the moment but this one is for banning them entirely except organised displays if anyone wants to sign. This is the only sensible way forward in my view. No one should be able to let them off in gardens or anywhere like that, it’s crazy. I am surprised some of you have said it hasn’t been as bad this year. I live near DKH Saino and it’s been absolutely terrible my way for days. This petition gained about 20,000 just in the last day or so so clearly the appetite is there! https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/732559

      I'd have thought they could use some of  their income from hiring out a large part of Brockwell Park in the summer (therefore, as I understand it, preventing local residents from using much of it) to put on a firework display there  in the autumn which might somewhat make up to those residents for the previous loss of use of the park. And also generate goodwill.

      Dulwich library closing for refurbishment

      By Sue · Posted

      Clicking on your name, I see you've made seven posts on here since you joined  around four years ago, and they've all been about local libraries. And none of the posts are  very pleasant. Care to share with the rest of us where  your particular interest in libraries comes from? Do you work in one of them?
