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...

      By Milan05 · Posted

      In case anyone is renovating or stripping out an old kitchen, I am looking for a base kitchen unit or carcass to house an oven for a temporary set up kitchen.   Also looking for a run of worktop at least 180 cm long if anyone is disposing of something like this, I would be happy to collect.   thanks   Mila

      Stephen Viccary - Bathroom installation

      By Ergo_mark · Posted

      Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145

      Dulwich Eco Gardening - Professional Landscape Gardening / Design

      Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
