I know Nick. He isn't an imposter. He's the bar manager at the Ivy House, and was previously at Hoopers Bar.


Why not come down and see


John Otway at the Ivy House


on Saturday 3 December, and check Nick out for yourself.


Buy advance tickets online here! or over the bar at the Ivy House.


Selling fast!


ETA: Our first gig at the Ivy House back in September, with Wizz Jones, was excellent, and we are expecting this gig to be equally excellent :)

Excellent stuff. Saw just about all of those mentioned around that time when it was the Newlands Tavern. It is still a fantastic little venue to see live stuff and really is worth a visit.

Cheers Jah. Reg and Sue had very fond memories of their time at The Newlands. A few other acts they mentioned...Gonzalez, Kokomo, Rory Gallagher, Bob Kerr's Whoopee Band, Ducks Deluxe and Ace. There was a queue down the street when the latter played there in 1974 because they'd had a hit single after the time they were booked. They had memories of nearly booking Dire Straits just before leaving the pub in 1976 - looking at the dates I reckon it's more likely they nearly booked the Knoplers' pre Straits band Cafe Racers. By the way, I did ask them about those Stones and Pink Floyd myths...obviously a few years before their time (I don't think anyone thought that Pink Floyd played in Nunhead during their Dark Side of the Moon tour!), but whilst they were there, they'd never heard anything about either of them playing...still, who can prove that Syd Barrett never popped down there at least once whilst at Camberwell Art College and strummed a few chords!

I'm pretty sure there's nothing going on like that at the moment (and I do pop in there quite a bit!) - I'll alert Nick the bar manager re your query and hopefully he can supply more details

We don't have an open mic night but on Wed nights we have the Easycome acoustic club where some open spots are available.


These are arranged by the promotor, Andy (look out for the guy with the cowboy hat and white dreadlocks) - pop down to introduce yourself and he may give you a chance to get on stage.

    • Hey fellow cat owners! Was hoping that you would consider putting collars with bells on your outside cats? I’ve wee fledglings in a nest and at the moment I’m defending them against an orange and white dude (I call him Trump) and his nemesis, a lovely Tuxedo cat (I call Elon)… they are quite the double act in my back garden!!!! It would give the wee ones a bit of a better chance if a bell could announce their approach. And as a feline owner myself, I know cats will be cats, but every little helps even the odds. many thanks.

    • Whilst I agree, I have been thinking about this recently in relation to some of the other posts on here about anti social behaviour. We are all products of our upbringing - our experiences at home, school and beyond - plus whatever we have inherited genetically which might affect our behaviour (the nature/nurture thing). So in this case, if people haven't been brought up to love and appreciate trees and other wild things, plus as you say they may be deeply unhappy (or have other undiagnosed issues) it's easy to see how they could have ended up doing this. Also, it's possible they had quite low intelligence and didn't really grasp what they were doing and the effect it would have on so many other people. But that's just surmise and possibly completely wrong. From what I've read about it, they seemed to be two mates egging each other on, like two big kids. I'm not for a minute excusing what they did, and it's right they should be punished, but I really hope they might get some sort of rehabilitation in prison (it would  be appropriate to have them do some kind of community service like planting saplings, wouldn't it, or working in woodland conservation). And the same goes for phone robbers and shoplifters (rehabilitation, not planting saplings), though for SOME  shoplifters there might also be other issues at play, not excluding poverty. Sorry Jasonlondon,  I've gone off at a real tangent here, lucky it's in the lounge! Oh oops I've just noticed it isn't. Sorry admin. Oh, and then there's a whole philosophical discussion to be had about free will and determinism ..... 🤣🤣🤣
