Folk Club in East Dulwich ?? (Lounged)

[Sue]

OK OK maybe the demographic of ED doesn't lend itself to a folk club, but my OH and I would be up for starting something here - anybody else interested, or are we doomed to a four hour round trip to Walthamstow every Sunday night??

:))

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

I'm with you - one hand clamped to my ear already.

[Sue]

Stereotyping, eh :))

LOL!!! My you put yourself through the mill of life don't you!

Will watch with interest as do enjoy folk stuff myself

If there was a folk club set up, I'd definitely be up for attending occasionaly - and I know lots of other people who would too... There's a bit of a lack of function rooms in ED though isn't there? How about the Hob in FH?

Good shout, this is a nice space.. It's a good size, has a stage, sound system, and upstairs bar area. Would definitely be in for a decent local folk club. Drop me a PM if you'd like any help with the organising, Sue..

Count me in, I can grow a decent beard at 3 days notice. Now, where did I put my ankle bells and a stick?

No morris dancing South of the Thames!

Yeah.. let's keep it real and just do 'Rapper'. Morris is for soft southern shandies.

[Brendan]

It would be keeping it real my brother. South London style! For it is a well know fact to those who know it well that Rap music and therefore hip-hop culture in fact originated from the sword dancing of North East England.

[Michael Palaeologus]

I know some people locally that might be interested. They are into Breton folk music but are open minded.

[*Bob*]

Is all of this just code for a swingers night?

[Michael Palaeologus]

No.

[rob]

I'd love a folk night, as long as i get to play Pentangle, The Trees, Anne Briggs and Shirley Collins records all night

[Sue]

Well we were thinking of a mix of folk dj-ing and live music (my OH Nyge djs at Big Chill, he's half of FolktoFuture).

So yeh, Shirley Collins et al may well be part of it (sadly she doesn't sing any more).

Thanks for the interest, I had been thinking maybe of Village Inn (ex Page 2 Bar) as within walking distance of ED, but will certainly check out the Hob (never heard of it, don't usually go to FH :) )

[Sue]

Ooops sorry quote didn't work, my fault probably

Showing yer age, bet you think folk is all like the Dubliners, innit :))

[mockney piers]

;)

I may jest but I do love all sorts of folk me. I'm listening to some Martha Tilston as I 'work'.

[Sue]

Each to their own, prefer her Dad's stuff :)-D

[Michael Palaeologus]

I am weaving green willow around my hat as I type (1 handed obviously)

[mockney piers]

Steve also jolly good, agreed.

I love the "each to their own", most people would hear the word folk full stop and run a mile ;-)

Best of luck with this endeavour, I'd be well up for going and if I can help in some small way, just ask.

There's an acoustic open night at the Plough on Friday evenings - someone was doing a very good Bert Jansch impression/interpretation last week - About ten years ago Bert, John Renbourn, Martin Carthy and Davy Graham and even Vin Garbutt all played upstairs at the EDT - some great nights - don't know what happened to it

[mockney piers]

Wow, just missed out on that then.

Would love to catch them locally, I caught Mr Renbourn last year though.

 

[barrymarshall]

Folk me, I'd go along if there were one ...

[Keef]

Try The Ivy House on a Wednesday evening, that might fit the bill.
