OK here's the running order for the music:



12pm DJ/Open Mic (see below)


1pm The Relatives (offshoot of the Dulwich Ukulele Club, R.I.P.)


2pm Ben Holland


3pm The Bara Bara Band


4pm John McClean and The Clan




Each band's set will be 45 minutes.


The open mic is first come first served and is open to anybody who would like to come and give us all a song or tune - anything you want (as long as it's suitable for a street party where there will be children and other sensitive souls :) ).


There will be a whiteboard by the music gazebo, and singers will be in order of writing their names on the board.


One song each to start with.


The booked bands will start at 1pm so if you want to do an open mic spot please make sure you get there in time to put your name down early.


The music gazebo will be in the section of Crystal Palace Road between The Actress and The Great Exhibition, and will be towards The Actress end this year.


Please do come, all are welcome - and please bring food and drink to share!


Fingers crossed for good weather!!

Thanks to everyone who came along - a great afternoon was had by all. And thanks to The Goose Is Out for (once again) organising the music, to the musicians (The Relatives, Ben Holland, The Bara Bara Band and, rocking the end of the party, John McClean and The Clan) who gave their time in return only for liquid refreshment, to the DJs, to the organisers and helpers, face-painters, balloon-doggers, bunting-makers and gazebo-erecters. And thanks to everyone who brought some food and drink to share with their neighbours and friends - that is the point of the Big Lunch, after all.


* edited to give names of musicians performing at the 2015 joint Crystal Palace Road / Ulverscroft Road Big Lunch street party.


** And I forgot to thank all the residents who kindly moved their vehicles from the street on the day of the party - it made a big difference so thank you too.

Thanks are also due to Enzo (hope I've spelled your name right, Enzo) who supplied the electricity for the bands!


Several of the original organisers of the Crystal Palace Road/Ulverscroft Road (as the roads are so close to each other, we have been alternating the party location each year) street party have moved or are moving out of the area.


The core group is becoming more and more depleted, with consequently the pre-party preparation (it starts months before) falling on just a few shoulders this year, all already busy people.


If you live on Crystal Palace Road or Ulverscroft Road (or adjoining roads) and you'd like to see this annual event continue and blossom, please consider volunteering to help - the more volunteers there are, the less for each one to do!

      Xmas lunch at local pubs/restaurants?

      By Pugwash · Posted

      I may be a scrooge but to pay over £100 plus for a meal is a bit much. I understand that staff costs would be a high factor in this price and that being no transport on Christmas Day - pubs may have to pay car hire fees. The café in Christ Church will be doing a 3 course meal in the run up to Christmas for around £30 per head (Booking essential) so to charge an additional £60 plus seems somewhat unreasonable. The past few years, there have only been the 2 of us on Christmas Day, so we lash out and buy a lot of M & S food - ready prepared or with minimal cooking at a cost of between £30 and £40. We host the family Boxing Day onwards (8 - 10 people) spending around £60 on food and drink. Rather spend £100 for food etc over a couple of days rather than £200 for one meal. We are fortunate that we have the finances  to do this as many people are not able to do this. One family member with young children would find it hard to spend even £10 on a Christmas meal. Our kids come armed with plastic boxes to all family meals to take home any leftovers - so we are left with minimal waste- any veg and meat  get made into soup.

      That would be Dulwich Wood ward wouldn’t it? One of the wards Southwark added Nov ‘23. Maybe the estate against didn’t get the memo. Oh man what a shit show.
