Ivy House Gramophone Appreciation Society - 2 November


piper

Recommended Posts

The Ivy House Gramophone Appreciation Society meets the first Monday of each month in the ballroom at The Ivy House pub, 40 Stuart Road, SE15 3BE from 7pm.


This is an evening for people who love the sound of 78rpm records played on vintage wind up gramophones. Jazz. Blues. Rock and Roll. Rockabilly. Country. Opera. Big Band. Irish traditional. Popular vocalists. Weird stuff. We play it all.


If you have some old 78s lying around in a cupboard, bring them along and we will happily play them in the mix. Or if you just love the atmosphere created when listening to old records, played on old machines, in a beautiful old ballroom, with a great choice of craft beers, you will enjoy the evening.


Very casual. Very conversational. And a good chance to share the music we love.


Our next get together is Monday 2 November at 7pm. All welcome. And it's free.

Join us Monday from 7pm.


We will be breaking into the first box of the Reginald Day Collection, a collection of over 1000 jazz 78s acquired last month from a retired big band saxophonist. Should be some treasures to be found!


If you have any 78s lying around, bring them and we will add them to the mix. Or just sit back and enjoy the atmosphere of classic old records on wind up gramophones played in the Ivy House ballroom.


It's free and everyone is welcome.

    • I wondered if anyone has tried an N Family nursery, particularly the new East Dulwich one but interested in reviews more generally? What are your experiences? 
    • My last paragraph was relevant. I was in central London having a meal with family on the same day as the recent large right wing march. The date of the  meal was arranged before it was known about the march, and the venue was convenient for one of my brothers and his partner, who had travelled down from the midlands and had a hotel and theatre tickets booked near the venue. It was just up the road from Trafalgar Square, and my partner and I were seriously concerned on the way there and the way back that we would encounter violent people from the march. Luckily we were able to avoid this, but as I expect you will have read, several police officers were injured, and a friend of mine was amongst a group of counter protesters who were hemmed in by marchers for hours, which was obviously very frightening. The group had to be protected by police before they were finally able to get a safe passage out. Therefore, I don't think my last paragraph was unnecessary at all in the context of when I personally feel unsafe in London. I am not "going through a bad patch", beansprout, not am I "having a bad day ". Nor do I need to "get things off my chest". I am interested to know how you think I have "totally changed my tune"? Could you give some examples from before and after I "changed my tune"? Perhaps you would like to come and discuss your opinion of me face to face? I am very easy to find. I run gigs and Singarounds locally with my lovely partner, and we have organised two Forum Drinks, with a break over the summer.  We will be organising an October meet up soon, so perhaps you would like to come to that, if music isn't your thing? You could take the opportunity to meet some other forum posters as well
