Irish Traditional Music Session: The Herne Tavern: Tuesday 11 April: 8:00pm onwards

Recommended Posts

The regular fortnightly traditional Irish music session will take place this Tuesday, 11th April at The Herne Tavern - corner of St Aidan's Road and Forest Hill Road.


For those unfamiliar with Irish music sessions, they're informal and unrehearsed affairs. You'll hear jigs, reels, hornpipes, polkas, the occasional waltz and maybe a slow air. Perhaps a song or two.


Musicians with a reasonable Irish music repertoire will be made very welcome. Come along and share a few tunes with us. The Herne is a very relaxed, friendly, welcoming pub with a huge beer garden and great acoustics. The new management have worked their backsides off to make it as attractive a pub as possible and - my humble opinion, for what it's worth - they've done an outstanding job.

While I've got your attention, a few words about two other Irish sessions which happen locally.


Another fortnightly Tuesday session takes place in Skehan's, Kitto Road, Telegraph Hill. It alternates with the Herne Tavern session, so the next session at Skehan's will be on Tuesday 18th April. The Skehan's session kicks off early - at around 7:00pm. Skehan's was recently voted the best bar in London by Time Out. It's certainly one of the busiest, if last Tuesday's session there is anything to go by!!


Every Thursday, there are tunes at The Blythe Hill Tavern - on Stanstead Road, corner of Blythe Hill Lane. A very well-known Irish pub which has been hosting sessions since forever (well, about 25 years anyway). The session kicks off at around 8:30pm and is always worth a visit. For the tunes and for possibly the best pint of Guinness in London!

And also before you shoot off, a big shout out to the folks who run The Goose Is Out. A monthly folk and acoustic gig at The Ivy House with monthly singarounds at the same venue. Check out their website at TheGooseIsOut.com and have a look at the attached flier for details of upcoming gigs. Some amazing talent in prospect...

    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him 
    • It was my understanding that Jeremy Corbyn was embarrassed by his brother and had distanced himself from his brother's views. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Why on earth should "the overall view of that family inform Jeremy's response to the pandemic"? What exactly are you basing that assumption on?
    • I guess it's best to do what most Brits do these days, keep your head down and say nothing! although that's probably why this country is in the mess it is today!  😞
    • @Dulwichway Absolutely - I'm in no way trying to say that what happened was life-changing. I've encountered way worse situations and think of myself as pretty tough, which is why I took them on and got pelted. I suppose I'm just taken aback because the park always seemed so safe. But the stats I've just posted contradict that.   I suppose the one of the points of this thread is to point out that they weren't just numpty youths - I'd bet money on some of them being involved in more serious criminality. And to tell others to be vigilant.
