Hello -


I play regularly with a friend (two guitars, one voice - very occasional backing vocals) and we're looking for other musicians who might be interested to get involved. Pretty firmly in the folk/bluegrass/acoustic spectrum I guess, we play some covers (Wagon Wheel, Caleb Meyer, Matty Groves, Miss Ohio etc) and some of our own. We're OK I guess, nothing incredibly special (and not looking to 'make it'! ha) but really enjoying playing and would like to start doing more gigs (currently occasional open mics). I guess the dream would be to find a violinist familiar with these styles of music who happens to sing lovely harmonies and who wants to play every week or so but would love to hear from anyone interested. Mandolin could also work really well and another voice could really add texture too...


A high standard of wooly jumpers is a bonus.


Cheers

Pete

There are a number of folk musicians locally who go to sessions and/or a South East London folk orchestra.


If you contact me via http://www.thegooseisout.com I can send you details.


On my phone at the moment and don't have them to hand.


ETA: You are also welcome to come down any time and do an unbooked floorspot at any of our club nights, or a song at our Singaround. We have booked some people for "proper" gigs this way.


See our website for more details.


ETA (again!): A number of people have got together to sing and play after meeting at our Singarounds and some have gone on to make albums which have been well reviewed in the mainstream press :)

    • Walking last Friday early evening anywhere near where the bottom end of Lordship Lane meets the Goose Green roundabout, one would have been directly confronted - as I was - with this scene: Outside the East Dulwich Tavern an impenetrable phalanx of pushing yobs, shouty louts and selfish yahoos pressed outward from the open doors of this establishment, past the curtilage (the land in front of and owned by the business), all across the public right of way, to the kerbside. This was the situation all the way along, end to end. I watched as passersby, old people, children, parents with buggies, people just going about their business, were forced by these booze-sucking bellowing scumbags onto the road - where, at that hour, traffic rushed endlessly off the roundabout. We have, I realised, somehow become so used to this revolting spectacles as to believe it to be inevitable. It is not. This is why I'm dropping this post. Enough really is enough. This roiling boozy blockade represents a total failure by all the responsible authorities - the licencing authority, for example - but most of all (yet once more, again, as ever), by Southwark Council. Two very different comparisons to give you some perspective: 1. The Kings Head pub on the corner of Albermarle and Stafford Streets, London SW1. Here too, patrons like to drink and chat outside on a warm evening - why should they not. But here, on the latter side a line marks the curtilage on the pavement. Drinkers remain, respectfully, in good order, within the line, watched, quietly and carefully, by a security guard. I wager good money this arrangement is a condition of this pub's licence. 2. The Blue Brick is a cafe in the quiet backstreets of East Dulwich, on the corners of Fellbrigg and Shawbury Roads. Until a few months ago, about half its covers were tables out on the pavement. They bothered nobody. Oh! But they extended all of several centimetres too far into the footpath, so into fearless action swang Southwark Council officers - and now these tables are gone. Result, eh? "Well you see," some wiseacre said to me, "There needs to be a complaint." Not actually true, but for sure this is all too often how local authorities get pushed to do what they should be doing. Hard to think why a complaint trumps, say (and god forbid!) a child being injured on the road. In which circumstance, of course!, Southwark would swing into noisy, virtue-signalling, belated action. But in any case let this post be considered a big, very definite COMPLAINT about this prolonged abuse of our public right of way. I invite readers who agree with me to add their voices. Oh, and all those wee local ward councillors might get off their chufties, defy their party managers, and actually help sort this scandal out. Thanks for reading, Lee Scoresby
    • Hi there, I saw that Google lists the park opening time as 7:30am, but I was wondering if it might actually open earlier than that - maybe anyone who’s out running early or passing by has noticed?
