Anyone fancy playing some music for fun?

[jjeh102]

Hello all,

I've lived in East Dulwich for four or so years now. I play drums and guitar and I was wondering whether there are other similar middle-aged would be rockers locally who would fancy getting together to make some terrible but fun music. I grew up on a diet on rock and metal, but I'll enjoy playing anything. I'm probably more praticed at drums, but don't let that fool you into thinking I'm in any way 'pro'.

I see there is a practice room under the Dulwich Cafe we could use. There may be other good venues as well.

Let me know if you are interested in a little weekday evening jamming and what sort of music you like. Happy to meet up in a local pub to plot our pathway to stardom...

Davide runs a regular jam on the first Wednesday of the month at the Clubhouse, Dulwich Common SE21 7EU (see below for directions).

There's one tonight.

Open mic spots and jam spots available. Starts 7.30pm. Backline provided.

Every kind of music and musician welcome.

Clubhouse, 37 Dulwich Common, SE21 7EU (road runs between Lordship Lane/Grove Tavern & Dulwich College)

Located half way along between Dulwich Riding School and Peckham Town FC

Vehicle Access: almost dead opposite the Yellow Speed Camera on Dulwich Common (South Circular - A205)

There are black gates with PECKHAM TOWN FC signs on each side. Come through those gates and turn immediately right onto the unmade track, it is the grey building at the far end with car park in front.

It's called the Southwark Sports & Social Club if you're looking it up on maps. Hadn't realised it was Davide's thing, haven't seen him in a few years. Will be along tonight to see what's what.

I was talking to Nyge n Sue about this at the weekend, can't go this eve but am going next month.

Otta pls share what's the crack when you've been.

I haven't been since they used to be at DHFC, when I went a few times, and were always really good.

But I was listening, not playing :))

I'm going tonight. I thought it was Martin's thing but there you go. It'll be a first for me tonight though I may get along to Hank Dog's Easycome later which is at Skehans, 1 Kitto Road, Nunhead. The Easycome is a longstanding weekly acoustic night every Wednesday which is great fun. Some members of the Fat White Family often sit it when they're not touring and the truly wonderful Flameproof Moth and Misty Miller are other regulars. Also at the Joiners Arms in Camberwell on Thursdays.

I've always heard of it from Davide, who when the jam began at DHFC was very involved with the club, but maybe things have changed - I have no idea who Martin is :)

[Jah Lush]

I think Martin runs the club, so you're probably right.

Who's Nyge?

[Otta]

Great fun, lots of people just after playing some music with no egos getting in the way.

Thanks for coming down last night Sue, Jah & Otta. So glad you really enjoyed yourselves. It really is a great music night out. I always feel like I'm trying to sell it when I tell people! The atmosphere is something really special in my opinion and know you know too. Please spread the word.

Thanks guys and look forward to meeting seabag,kidKruger, Jeff & Andy on July 6th.

Having been going for almost a year I have to say that first Wednesday each month can't come round quick enough, cool people making a cool event which I appreciate massively. It's really helped me with confidence to try new stuff too.
