Dulwich Folk on 5th March. Bryony Griffith and Alice Jones at the Castle , 280 Crystal Palace Road , East Dulwich, SE22


Recommended Posts

Were getting ready to welcome Bryony and Alice for whats promising to be a fantastic evening . Songs in harmony ancient and modern, two great voices, fiddles , guitars and maybe even a step dance. A rare visit to South London from these two brilliant singers.


Hailing from West Yorkshire, Bryony and Alice are united by a fascination with local folk song collections inspired by the landscape, language and industry. As a duo, they blend their respect and understanding of tradition and research with their own contemporary style of performance to present a unique repertoire of harmony, heritage and Northern banter, featuring Fiddle, Harmonium, Tenor Guitar, body percussion and intricate vocals in their distinctive regional accents. They have a dance music and step dance background as well as a deep commitment to folk song.  ​


Their 2022 CD "A Year Too Late and A Month Too Soon" ( described by Mark Radcliffe as "straight up , beautiful and bold folksinging") features fresh interpretations of treasured old songs with passionate vocals .  ​


Bryony’s career has taken her from feisty a cappella group The Witches Of Elswick and the award-winning Demon Barbers to acclaimed duo work with Will Hampson. Bryony is also a member of the English Fiddle Ensemble and is a song-writer.​


Alice started as a step-dancing and clogging prodigy and became a ceilidh band musician. She has been part of the The John Dipper Band and is a solo performer as well. Her album " Poor Strange Girl" is excellent .She is a researcher of traditional song, and collaborated with Pete Coe on " the Search For Five Finger Frank" a project based on the collection of Frank Kidson.



Music starts at 7.30 (Doors 7) Entrance £12.

    • I want to use them in plant pots like crocks. PM me if you have some. Thanks 
    • Does anyone know of any local tennis clubs that don't have an obscene waiting list?    Have tried: North Dulwich LTC, Dulwich Sports Club, Old College Lawn, Camber lawn.    All saying like minimum 2-3 years for a place. If there's anywhere else worth checking, would love to know! 
    • Met Atilla at Forest Fest in Honor Oak last year.  Otway wasn't playing with him at the New Cross Gig.  A band called Newtown Neurotics also played but I don't remember them.  I also don't remember seeing Blur opening in a four band tour at the Academy around this time, or Pulp supporting St Etienne at the Shepherds Bush Empire a couple of years later. David Badiel and Rob Newman played the Venue around the same time; he is discussing this with Verne on Radio 2.  Googled for more info and oddly came up with this thread. I expect this will have zero interest for most of you. Unless you want to talk about famous bands you saw, but don't remember.
    • James and his colleague just helped me move items between two flats in East Dulwich. He went above & beyond and is a really friendly guy, I will definitely use him again in the future.  James : 07904897508
