Shotley Crue Dulwich’s own folk supergroup are at Dulwich Folk on September 4th!

A rare chance to catch a full set from local folk heroes. Take seven harmony singers- add sad songs, protest songs , Scottish songs, French songs , songs you know and songs you don't- sea songs all sung with verve and exuberance. Expect a real singers night!

They met at Dulwich folk choir and various members are or have been involved with the South East London Folk Orchestra, Larkin the Woods, and the local Scottish musicians group. Many of them can’t resist a singaround!

They formed following a singing weekend in Shotley, Suffolk. Since then they have dropped anchor at various festivals and folk clubs around the country. Since 2020 they have been resident singers at Dulwich Folk and have been essential in establishing it as a welcoming high quality venue.

  Yes, I live Colyton/Dovedale area and lots of swifts usually. I'd love a swift nesting box too.

  There's always a large flock(?) over the area of back gardens surrounded by Colyton / Dovedale / Marmora / Scutari, but no idea if / where there are any nesting boxes. We'd love to have one, and often have swifts zooming close by, checking out possible sites.

  I would have thought the cost of erecting X meters of metal barriers would be the same irrespective of location, plus given the issues with access now due to the "bunds", it would also be easier given the ample direct access the common provides? The reason I've heard from the organisers is that their footprint has been tailor made for that part of the park, so it's not possible to fit it anywhere else. Which is a ridiculous argument given that they've already altered / extended it due to the space they've 'lost' from the "bunds". The reason I've heard from FOPR and others is that as the common is public land (or similar) it requires permission from the Home Secretary (or similar) due to ancient grazing rights or something. Oddly it doesn't seem to have affected the circus, the steam fair, the dog show etc etc etc Yes, the wide path where Parkrun starts & finishes will become a controlled crossing during the build, and completely closed off during the festival. Also, when I asked about the reason for the extended footprint onto the sports pitch, they said it was to replace lost space where the bunds are, which they used to store equipment. However, they were unable to explain where this storage area now was on the new plan... And when asked about the loss of the sports pitch due to the extension & access road, they said the council had assured them there were no matches booked for that period. But what about the kids, families, who play on them? No answer...

  I think one of the organiser's marketing lines for the event describes the festival as 'nestled' in the park- clearly having the trees and park as a backdrop is viewed as a major selling point.
