Live Music - Pink Honey

Pink Honey is about spreading pink honey love to everyone who wants it. Born in Australia the band came together through years of friendship and liberty in play of creative expression. Their message is simple, to break free from the chains holding you back from your pure potential, whether self imposed or otherwise. They're about freeing your mind and eyes to see the magic of the world around you. Their music is original and has flares of rock, folk, funk and soul, the music moves freely from each genre with a specific Pink Honey twang.

Live Music - Tom OC Wilson and Edward Randell

Tom O C Wilson

https://linktr.ee/tomocwilson

Tom O C Wilson is a London-based creator of colourful, imaginative pop music. His songs hit the sweet spot between melodic immediacy and surprise, creating an exhilarating sonic pleasure reminiscent of artists such as XTC, Joe Jackson and early Prefab Sprout.

Edward Randell

https://www.edwardrandell.com/

Edward Randell is a singer and songwriter from south London. With a warm blanket of a voice, slyly sparkling lyrics and melodies that evoke instant nostalgia, his music sounds like James Taylor and Rufus Wainwright sharing a pot of Earl Grey.

Entry is free, but please grab a ticket here to ensure being able to get in.

Live Music - Tim Holehouse, False Adults! and Elena Sirett. 

TIM HOLEHOUSE has literally been everywhere. You name it, and he's been there and played a show. He's a blues nomad in the truest sense of the words.

FALSE ADULTS are a two-headed pop-rap beast, using their mics to celebrate pop culture and complain about their day jobs.

ELENA SIRETT provides queer folk-punk theatrics.

Book Event - The Story of the Christmas No.1 with Marc Burrows

Join award-winning author and comedian Marc Burrows for a celebration of a uniquely British tradition: The Christmas number one. Where did it come from? Why are we the only country in the whole world that actually cares about it? And can it survive in 2025? 

Burrows, fresh from a critically lauded run at the Edinburgh Fringe with his show ‘The Britpop Hour’, celebrates the publication of his new book, The Story of The Christmas No.1: Mistletoe & Vinyl, though McNidder & Grace, with a specially-written stand-up talk, complete with songs, covering everything from Bing to Blobby, from Slade to Sausage Rolls, from feeding the world to Killing In The Name. It’s Chriiiiiiiiiiiiiiistmaaaaaaaaaaaas!

Marc Burrows is an author, culture journalist and comedian based in Bristol. His biography of Sir Terry Pratchett won the 2021 Locus Award in the non-fiction category, and he has since written acclaimed books on Manic Street Preachers, David Bowie & Marc Bolan’s sixties friendship and Nirvana, as well as turning his Terry Pratchett biography into a critically acclaimed stand up show, which has toured globally, selling 15,000 tickets and counting. He writes regularly for the Independent, Big Issue, New Statesman and The Guardian, among many others, and as a musician played bass in the cult punk band The Men That Will Not Be Blamed For Nothing, touring the world and playing at Glastonbury, Download, Latitude and Bestival. His latest stand up show, The Britpop Hour, played to multiple rave reviews and sell-out audiences at the 2025 Edinbugh Fringe, and he will be touring it in 2026. He has been obsessed with Christmas music since he was a small boy. www.marcburrows.co.uk

Jazz in Brockley #13 - Paul Edis Trio

Described as ‘one of the leading lights in contemporary jazz’ Paul Edis is a natural melodist who finds the emotional resonance of every note. Rooted in the straight-ahead swinging tradition, his music has been played on the radio in the UK, US and Europe.

He's since established a new piano trio and regularly works with the most in demand drummers and bass players on the UK scene. For this gig he’ll be performing with Simon Read (double bass) and Billy Pod (drums).

Waged (£10.30) and low waged/ unwaged (£5.15) tickets available. Bank Card Fees are included in price.

Live Music - Acoustic Anarchy

Saturday 6th December sees the welcome return of two great acts. The Water Chorus are a folk band tackling traditional songs with energy, spirit and wit. They've gone down brilliantly when they've played before and this is one not to miss.

Alex MacDonald is a folk and blues singer who can turn his hand to almost anything - moving effortlessly from a song about the effects of warfare in medieval Germany to a calypso about a Trinidadian pilot.

Regular host Martin Howard completes the bill.

Doors at 7.30, music from 7.45.

Suggested £5 donation entry, which all goes to the artists! No-one turned away for lack of funds

The Daniel Birchall Bottle Share #5 Christmas Special

Our homebrew club recently came into an impressive bounty of sharing bottles from a poor soul who couldn't ship them across the water to his new home.
We wanted to share the spoils with as many people as possible so it was decided to set up a few special bottle shares throughout the year.
We'll be sharing six extra special bottles and encourage you to bring a bottle along yourselves to share with the group.
All welcome!
