OK here's the running order for the music:



12pm DJ/Open Mic (see below)


1pm The Relatives (offshoot of the Dulwich Ukulele Club, R.I.P.)


2pm Ben Holland


3pm The Bara Bara Band


4pm John McClean and The Clan




Each band's set will be 45 minutes.


The open mic is first come first served and is open to anybody who would like to come and give us all a song or tune - anything you want (as long as it's suitable for a street party where there will be children and other sensitive souls :) ).


There will be a whiteboard by the music gazebo, and singers will be in order of writing their names on the board.


One song each to start with.


The booked bands will start at 1pm so if you want to do an open mic spot please make sure you get there in time to put your name down early.


The music gazebo will be in the section of Crystal Palace Road between The Actress and The Great Exhibition, and will be towards The Actress end this year.


Please do come, all are welcome - and please bring food and drink to share!


Fingers crossed for good weather!!

Thanks to everyone who came along - a great afternoon was had by all. And thanks to The Goose Is Out for (once again) organising the music, to the musicians (The Relatives, Ben Holland, The Bara Bara Band and, rocking the end of the party, John McClean and The Clan) who gave their time in return only for liquid refreshment, to the DJs, to the organisers and helpers, face-painters, balloon-doggers, bunting-makers and gazebo-erecters. And thanks to everyone who brought some food and drink to share with their neighbours and friends - that is the point of the Big Lunch, after all.


* edited to give names of musicians performing at the 2015 joint Crystal Palace Road / Ulverscroft Road Big Lunch street party.


** And I forgot to thank all the residents who kindly moved their vehicles from the street on the day of the party - it made a big difference so thank you too.

Thanks are also due to Enzo (hope I've spelled your name right, Enzo) who supplied the electricity for the bands!


Several of the original organisers of the Crystal Palace Road/Ulverscroft Road (as the roads are so close to each other, we have been alternating the party location each year) street party have moved or are moving out of the area.


The core group is becoming more and more depleted, with consequently the pre-party preparation (it starts months before) falling on just a few shoulders this year, all already busy people.


If you live on Crystal Palace Road or Ulverscroft Road (or adjoining roads) and you'd like to see this annual event continue and blossom, please consider volunteering to help - the more volunteers there are, the less for each one to do!

      Herne Hill School and Dulwich Prep

      By Nikn · Posted

      Hi everyone, we are trying to finslise our decision for enrolling our son for 3+ from September and currently considering Dulwich Prep or Herne Hill. We like both and appreciate there is no right or wrong answer but what we like about HH is great focus on early years and also being coed. However if we can avoid the 7+ stress then prefer to do that. Dulwich Prep is closer but the difference is not significant. we know children are very active and busy in DP and they have great facilities, but unlike HH, we don’t know much about their focus on personal development and emotional intelligence, etc! Also not sure about long-term impact of being in boys only school. Difficult decision for us and we appreciate feedback from parents if you can share please.    thank you

      Thames Water - water meters

      By QueenMab · Posted

      Yeah that was their old policy. Their new policy is to force you to have a water meter and if you refuse they put you on a punitively high tariff which effectively forces you to have one. I was doing well with my policy of polite resistance which was to say yes fine I'll have one fitted but then not actually book an appointment or cancel the appointments they made. But then I was persuaded that it would be much cheaper anyway.

      Lilac shrub cutting?

      By Karen · Posted

      Lots of lovely lilac shrubs in flower at the moment. Would anyone consider giving me a cutting? It would involve digging out a basal off shoot, roots and all. I'd love one for my new garden but I'm so broke that I have to fill it with plants the slow way!
