i used to live in kentish town on leighton road - just around the corner from the forum. also a good live venue although now its the home of "the church" and "school disco" so less appeal. looking forward to seeing those random canadians.


have you read the post about the indie band at the herne on the 24th - its in the whats on section. they sound alright, will def get along and have a look.


yes...still off post.

I haven't seen it reviewed in the South London Press *ahem*, but I have got it and it's very good (though less creative than their spellbinding debut).


Darn, this is in danger of turning into the "I love Kaiser Chiefs" thread I was whinging about the other day.

Clare, Brixton is the Best venue in London in my opinion! They do actually roll chairs in occasionally for things like comedy (saw the fast show there a few years back, was odd seeing the chairs), but it's best for gigs, as you get a good view wherever you stand! Don't stand at the back though, as the sound gets a bit rubbish when you're under the upper circle!


Hope you have a top time! Who are you seeing?


Swiders, I saw Snow Patrol at The Forum last year, fantastic little venue!!! I loved the fact we were right near the front, and I got to the bar and back in the space of one song!!! :)-D


Sorry to be off topic.

clare, you can't be real?


every time i see ricky wilson and the gang staring seriously at me at the Elephant and Castle junction it just cracks me up.


having said that, i've probably seen the chiefs at more festivals than most bands. they were just everywhere in 2005 and 2006 so it was unavoidable really. good fun but def not "serious".

I'm just listening to it too. Got it in Peckham Woolworths. Love the Fire. Love the Academy. saw Guillemots there a few weeks ago. Do we need a separate thread for Indie lovers in ED?

Love Snow Patrol but his voice goes a bit wonky when live I think.

Of course they are and that's why you went back 4 years, I blame LM for setting a precedent and the medical profession for giving AM so much spare time. Haven't you got leeches to gather?

Good God! I started this one. Has it really been 4 years?


I dont post much now. Not since the mugging and my car being stolen and the burglary and the crack den raid next door and subsequent slaughter of all at 73 and the clowns on Peckham Rye and the rabid fox scare and the killing of Mrs Dobbin the lactating donkey by a psycho Dulwich Mother.....


.... but its a grand place to live.

      Chango - New local gem alert!

      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.
