A while ago 'Chris-Purplemusic' advertised a new group she's doing called 'crazy basses'. It's a Saturday morning 1 hour class teaching mini-bass (ie double bass, but small sized versions for the kids). The classes are a mix of learning the instrument and musicianship skills. The age range, I think, is 5-11.


Anyway, we went on Saturday and thought it was great- a real opportunity to learn an (unusual) instrument right here in East Dulwich. Chris is a professional player and really lovely.


I'm not related in any way to her, but just wanted more people to hear about it, so please contact her direct, not me!

I saw the post too and meant at the time to post to say that I was given a similar opportunity when I was 9 or 10 and went on to play the double bass for years. I loved it and had so many great experiences playing in orchestras with other young people. It's a wonderful and unusual instrument to play and I only wish I was still playing!

    • Thank you so much, Imogen – it was a pleasure helping out, and I really appreciate you sharing!
    • Not with all the bins currently stored there.
    • We both own the freehold. They’re in the maisonette and I’m in the flat. They’re older, so with any luck, they’ll be selling soon. Unfortunately, due to recent events, all of this now has to be disclosed on the TA6 form. Honestly, I’d move out of sheer shame if I were them. Poisoning fruit trees planted for children is just cruel, and they haven’t even apologised. I genuinely wonder how they justify this to themselves. Envy is such a toxic and destructive emotion, and sadly, it often explains behaviour like this. I just wanted to say how grateful I am for the support from so many of you, especially at the East Dulwich Forum drinks and for the kind messages on both this forum and the Nextdoor app. It’s genuinely reassuring to know there are still decent, supportive neighbours around.
    • Hmm, you seem to have an agenda.  I like ait of measured that they have done to promote active travel, improving pedestrian and cyclist safety, whilst improving the streetscape. I avoid making sweeping statements about wildlife management as I don't know enough about their policies, and expect some in Southwark are passionate about what they do. Go along to a relevant local meeting and ask, I doubt if you will change a thing by posting here.
