Firstly, I've just realised I didn't respond to the amazing responses I got on what to do on weekends with my v active toddler.im so sorry! Thanks everyone!


He loves music, particularly accoustic, and I reckon he'd love live folk. Does anyone know of anywhere I can take him during the weekends (and it would have to be the day- he's a nightmare if he goes past 7). Yes, and he'd have to be able to run around and dance. Surely somewhere like this exists!

Thanks buggie. I think it's definitely worth trying- I think he might like a little space to run around and dance though, and (though he's v outgoing) might get a wee daunted if there's a load of people. But I will def give it a go. I think this might be the closest I get.

Hi Ellie,

Wow, what a question. First of all, let me introduce myself. I'm Miaomiao, and I'm the founder of Bach to Baby. Our audience have been requesting different things, and I've done my best to cater to them! So, as a matter of fact, we are having an amazing accordionist Milos Milivojevic perform for us for the month of January. You've just missed the one in Dulwich Village which was super popular. However, there's one on Friday Jan. 31st, at 4pm at All Saints Church, West Dulwich. Milos will be performing greats from both the classical and folk repertoire. You can find information about it at http://www.bachtobaby.com/westdulwich


We'll also be featuring jazz for the first time at Bach to Baby next month. "A Brief History of Jazz", featuring jazz saxophonist Oliver Weston.


I hope that helps!


As always, please do write me if you have any special requests of styles, or instruments. I'd be delighted to hear from you.

Hello everyone!


Bea with Bea's Baby Bop here, love love love this post :) ! Ellie, what a brilliant idea, there SO should be something like this :) ! MiaoMiao, I've heard such great things about Bach To Baby, it looks like such a brilliant program, I wish I could make it to one of your concerts but I'm usually teaching at the same time :/ !


Ellie, that's really sweet of you to include Baby Bop in your folk for babies thoughts :) very happy about that! Just seen this thread and thought I'd let you know that I have a folk band called "The Hobos" where I sing and play guitar with full band (so percussion, drums, banjo, accordion and bass). You and your son would be so very welcome to come along for a listen and a dance with us sometime :) ! We do sometimes play gigs during the day that are baby friendly. We've played some gigs at Rye Books in East Dulwich. . .I'll have to let you know when the next baby friendly gig is! You can have a listen to us here http://www.thehobos.co.uk


We have a gig coming up on February 5th in East Dulwich at a very baby friendly venue but it's just as a duo and on a Wednesday from 7pm so not ideal! Will let you know if I hear of any other folk-y weekend baby friendly day concerts.


This is a great CD if you're wanting some baby friendly folk too :) http://www.putumayo.com/content/sing_along_putumayo_0?section=kids


Incidently,Miaomiao, if you ever fancied having a folk band for a Bach To Baby session, we'd be interested in getting involved :) !



Best,

Bea

THanks MiaoMiao and Bea! Please keep me (and us) updated on anything going on at the weekends. Would really really love to do both please - no pressure, he he.


Bea - I loved your class while I was on maternity leave! The plough is a wee bit of a trek for us, which explains why we haven't made it on Saturdays, but if I do get my act together I will say hi.

And Bach to Baby was a real gem too. Ah, happy days...(excepting sleep deprivation, of course)

Hi Bea and Ellie,


Sorry for late reply! I realised I needed to follow the thread to get the subsequent emails!

I'll keep you in mind in the future, for sure.


We do try to incorporate all sorts of influences in our music. Our March concert had Romanian folk, as well as violin-led singing of the Skype Boat song... Next month's programme features the harp, and takes you around the world with all its folk influences.

details below.


Hope that helps! Oh, and I'm now following this thread, so any further questions or requests - I'll see them, and answer soonest!

Around the World on 47 Strings

featuring Keziah Thomas, harp


It took Phileas Fogg eighty days, but star harpist Keziah Thomas will whisk you around the world in under an hour, stopping off to dance the Bransles in France, the tango in Argentina, and finishing with fiery flamenco. Put on those dancing shoes!

    • The solicitor is also the Executor. Big mistake, but my Aunt was very old, and this was the Covid years and shortly after so impossible to intervene and get a couple of close relatives to do this.  She had no children so this is the nephews and nieces. He is a single practitioner, and most at his age would have long since retired - there is a question over his competence Two letters have already gone essentially complaining - batted off and 'amusingly' one put the blame on us. There are five on our side, all speaking to each other, and ideally would work as a single point of contact.  But he has said that this is not allowed - we've all given approval to act on each others behalf. There are five on her late husband's side, who have not engaged with us despite the suggestion to work as a team, There is one other, who get's the lion's share, the typicical 'friend', but we are long since challenging the will. I would like to put another complaint together that he has not used modern collective communication (I expect that he is incapable) which had seriously delayed the execution of the will.   I know many in their 80s very adept with smart phones so that is not an ageist comment. The house has deteriorated very badly, with cold, damp and a serious leak.  PM me if you want to see the dreadful condition that it is now in. I would also question why if the five of us are happy to work together why all of us need to confirm in writing.            
    • Isn’t a five yearly electricity safety certificate one of the things the landlord must give for a legal tenancy?
    • Very sorry to hear this, but surely the landlord is responsible for fixing the electrics?  Surely they must be insured for things like this? I hope you get it all sorted out quickly.
    • The Pie House Co-op Deptford Emergency Crisis - Needs YOUR Help. This not-for-profit, worker-run, wheelchair accessible music and arts venue at 213-214 Edward Place SE8 5HD THE CRISIS: From Liv, Grace & Sonia, On Friday 31st October, there was a flash flood in Deptford, and we found ourselves with water pouring in through the lighting fixtures, damaging our electrics and sound system.

Thank you in advance for your support so far, and your support going forward.

HOW YOU CAN HELP: 1) If you are an electrician and can offer to help for free or at cost, please email: [email protected] Your help would of course be acknowledged. 2) If you are a Sound Engineer and can offer to help for free or at cost, please email: [email protected] Your help would of course be acknowledged. 3) If you are a journalist or have connections with the local and wider media (Print, on line, TV, Radio, please email: [email protected] 4) 'Every Little Helps' even just £1 will make a difference, please support the crowd funder: https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/.../piehouse-workers-co-op...
