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...

    • Two wrongs might not make a right. But the two wrongs could at least be of equal value before we get too judgey    paying an estate agent to deal with all of the admin on my to have the estate agent not point out all of the admin  vs Deliberately hacking into an MPs email. And boasting about it (Badenoch)    as for throwing a local estate agent under the bus, when did local estate agents become the good guys?   doesn’t sound like estate agents are being thrown under a bus - they are fessing up. And Reeves doesn’t look to have done anything wrong  yet people will still believe the worst anyway    https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2025/oct/30/rachel-reeves-row-standards-adviser-looking-at-new-infomation?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other
    • Now who might that be?
    • Harvey and Wheeler in Dulwich Village? Only one I know… How can they offer to apply and never did? Surely; whether they are managing the property or not and with tech been so advanced I would have thought they would have been a couple of e mails sent as a reminder or, is it the Landlord’s responsibility to apply… Rental Law/ Bill has just come  into force  - can’t remember if it was this week or last and have been to busy to read.. However, will as assume it is not individual councils but all councils. Came up on Which on line.. Good point Jen Jen Jen - sure some knowledgable person on here can throw more light than I.
    • Does this mean then that anybody who rents out their home in East Dulwich needs one of these licenses? And does everyone of these landlords have one?
