Ivy House Gramophone Appreciation Society - 2 November


piper

Recommended Posts

The Ivy House Gramophone Appreciation Society meets the first Monday of each month in the ballroom at The Ivy House pub, 40 Stuart Road, SE15 3BE from 7pm.


This is an evening for people who love the sound of 78rpm records played on vintage wind up gramophones. Jazz. Blues. Rock and Roll. Rockabilly. Country. Opera. Big Band. Irish traditional. Popular vocalists. Weird stuff. We play it all.


If you have some old 78s lying around in a cupboard, bring them along and we will happily play them in the mix. Or if you just love the atmosphere created when listening to old records, played on old machines, in a beautiful old ballroom, with a great choice of craft beers, you will enjoy the evening.


Very casual. Very conversational. And a good chance to share the music we love.


Our next get together is Monday 2 November at 7pm. All welcome. And it's free.

Join us Monday from 7pm.


We will be breaking into the first box of the Reginald Day Collection, a collection of over 1000 jazz 78s acquired last month from a retired big band saxophonist. Should be some treasures to be found!


If you have any 78s lying around, bring them and we will add them to the mix. Or just sit back and enjoy the atmosphere of classic old records on wind up gramophones played in the Ivy House ballroom.


It's free and everyone is welcome.

    • Trees are great - I plant and raise my own and petition the council to look at damaged specimens and plant more - but they need to be tended to when they’re in non-woodland spaces. I encourage all those who have a strong liking for trees to plant them, grow from seed etc. - much better for all than tapping on keypads. 
    • Would they keep until Christmas?
    • As a customer of DKH I have sympathy with the staff but this a matter for their trade union to address. The law states that temperatures in the workplace must be “reasonable”, and adds guidance that a reasonable minimum temperature is 16C for sitting down jobs like checkouts or 13C for physical work like packing and stacking.  The law also states that there must be easily readable thermometers installed in the workplace so that staff can check the temperature. When I still worked, these would be mercury thermometers red-lined at 16C, so staff knew when it was permissible to stop work if they were uncomfortable. However, I always worked in trade union represented jobs. I suspect (but certainly don’t know) that a lot of Sainsbury’s staff these days don’t bother to join the union, so are not protected (please put me right if you know otherwise).  In any workplace, you either take collective action to improve things or just accept the conditions imposed on you. If staff are in a union, they need to take a hand in making sure the union and its reps do their job in representing them.
    • £1,155 now raised. Would be great to get to £1,500 by 17th January when the Crowdfunder will close. His family and friends are hoping to do something for charity in his name...
