Greetings Dulwichites


I'm planning an occasional club night for boys and girls who are on the right side of 40 (that's upwards of). We're aiming to play you back through your adolescence and sparkly youth with a soundtrack of synth pop (OMD, Human League, Depeche Mode), post-punk (Gang of Four, Echo and the Bunnymen, the Pop Group), ska (Specials etc) dub (Mark Stewart, On-U Sound) rave (the Prodigy etc) and some glittering New Pop (Simple Minds, ABC, Madonna) but always on the right side of cheesy and with no irony intended whatsoever. I'll be working in related visuals and various flavours of dry ice.The preferred venue would be the crypt under St. Giles Church (where you can find the jazz club on a Friday).


What I would love to find out from you Dulwichites is if you would go to such a club night? Considering childcare, the general ravages of time etc, if it ran 8pm to 1am with a bar and food and had more of a music club atmosphere than a mega-club atmosphere? Conversely, I'd be interested to know why you wouldn't go.


Looking forward to your responses.


Paul

Ah, you're probably right. I was just there to check it out as a potential gig venue, but didn't realise there was more hidden away.

I'm speaking in terms of the forum. I'm sure he hasn't shuffled off yet.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
