FREE Baby Boomer Night! Sunday 6 July at The Ivy House!


Sue

Recommended Posts

If you are a Baby Boomer (born between 1945 and 1965 apparently) or even if you aren't, come along to The Ivy House on 6 July and hear a load of nostalgic music from the fifties, sixties and seventies.


The eclectic mix will include chart, soul, blues, reggae, Motown and more.


From The Animals to Talking Heads via John Lee Hooker, Dusty Springfield, Wilson Pickett, Small Faces, Cream, Muddy Waters, AARRGGHH too many to include but hey we'll try .....


Starts 7pm.


Following a request by somebody desperate to give us their rendition of a sixties (I think) song, there is now a late addition of a Singaround at some point during the evening (now 8pm! See next post!). So if you're dying to get up and sing your favourite Beatles song or whatever, now's your chance. We WON'T be using the stage or PA, so don't be shy!


It's also half the Goose's (clue - not Nygel's) 65th "celebration" so do come and commiserate :))


More info about the Goose and The Ivy House at http://www.thegooseisout.com

We've decided to start the Singaround at 8pm, and will finish it when everybody who wants to sing has had a chance to sing one song (unless there are too many people, in which case we may have to draw a line, so get there early to be sure of a spot!)


We'd prefer it if you didn't sing sixties songs of doom, unless you've been practising "Eve of Destruction" in the shower for the last month :))


Then we'll continue with more nostalgic tracks (well, nostalgic to those of a certain age :)) )

This is tomorrow night, people!


The Ivy House will be serving food until 8pm, so get there earlyish if you want to eat. Unless you are fond of cake (there may be a bit of cake available if you're quick) :))


There will be the usual excellent range of ales, craft beers, wine etc.

This is tonight!


Fifties/sixties/seventies clothes optional :))


Be there or be square, see you later alligator, etc etc..


Oh, and Nyge and Sue will be singing their (in)famous version of Down The Dustpipe. Be very afraid. If you know it, please feel free to join in and drown us out :))

    • Hello! We are relocating abroad and so will be withdrawing our two children (ages 4 and 6) from St Dunstan’s College (Catford). If any family is considering enrolling children of a similar age, now would be an excellent opportunity—we’re required to pay full‑term fees unless the places are taken. Please get in touch if you’re interested or know someone who might be. Thank you!

    • Thanks for your reply. I’ve subscribed to Ancestry a few times in the past but felt I wasn’t using it enough to warrant keeping up the subscription.    
    • Hi, I saw your post and just wanted to say that the incident you’re referring to did happen in the late 1980s at Dawson’s Heights. The person involved was named Carl Salawa, and he had just turned 18 years old at the time. Like you, I haven’t been able to find any news articles or official reports about it, If anyone remembers anything more about that time or incident, I’d really appreciate hearing about it. Thanks for sharing what you were told—it means a lot to know others remember.
