Further to my thread about the FHT, I'm now actually going to be singing there this Sunday night!


I'm actually a jazz chantoozie - in the Diana Krall/Bebel Gilberto/Nouvelle Vague stylee... Check out www.andreamann.com to find out more/hear tunes/etc.


I'll be performing with Barry Green - one of the UK's most amazing young jazz pianists - and we're playing from 7pm-9.30pm. So please come on down - it would be lovely to meet people, and to get support going for live music locally.


Cheers!

Yes, I can't believe there isn't more live music going on here - esp. given (a) the number of great musicians living in the area (it's like jazz Stella Street near me), and (b) the local crowd being pretty much the perfect target audience, as far as I can see.


I'm making it my mission to try and get some regular live music going in the area... I'm in talks with the manager of the EDT too about a weekly residency there, hopefully starting July 16, so watch this space. He seems really keen, and it would be great to get a regular local music night going. Can't believe none of the bars or restaurants on Lordship Lane have tried it before!


Re. the refit - it's pretty good. Well, I'd drink there now, put it that way! See the other FHT thread I started...

So, the gig last night was really lovely - thanks to any EDFers who came down!


There seemed to be a few old FHT regulars there, but the pub is definitely mostly attracting yer more typical East Dulwich type now. And I mean that in a good way - it was a very nice, friendly and laidback atmosphere in there. And anywhere that has a Prosecco as its cheap bubbly of choice is alright by me ;-).


It's going to be a monthly thing now, me singing down there on a Sunday night - so will let you guys know when the next one's on. I spoke to the owner Kevin again, and they are definitely up for getting live music going there. Apparently a six-piece Irish band rocked up there on Saturday night and just performed spontaneously for three hours!

      Returning items supplied by medequip

      By Scruffy Mummy · Posted

      I had this same query the other week - Mediquip no longer cover Southwark and I believe the company when bankrupt? Anyway, after some digging, I found the news on the adult social care page of Southwark Council website.  The new supplier of medical equipment that is issued to Southwark residents via an OT from the council or the NHS is Provide Equipment Hub.  I emailed them about returning two items and they did promptly respond and came and picked up the items the following week.  Email them at [email protected] Importantly, they will come and do urgent repairs of equipment like hospital beds.  I'm surprised that Southwark haven't made this change more widely known as it will impact many vulnerable residents.

      Family Photography

      By dianamaru · Posted

      Hello East Dulwich families 👋 I wanted to introduce myself to the community. I’m a professional family & wedding photographer with 14+ years of experience, and I split my time between the US and London throughout the year. I’ll be based in London for the coming weeks and would love to photograph more local families here in East Dulwich. My approach is very relaxed and natural — no stiff posing, no pressure — just real connection, movement, and the beautiful everyday moments that tell your family’s story. I work especially well with kids and parents who feel “awkward” in front of the camera (which honestly is most of us!). Sessions can take place at home, in the park, on your favourite street, or anywhere that feels meaningful to you. The goal is to create images that feel like your life — not a photoshoot. If anyone has been thinking about documenting this season with their children, I’d love to connect, answer questions, or simply share examples of my work. No pressure at all — just happy to be here and meet some neighbours. You can see my work here: https://bluesparkphotography.com/family/ (use the contact page on the site to send me a message if you're interested!).
