19 Mar 08 - 05:13 AM (#2292431) Subject: New Folk Club in Blackheath From: GUEST,woodsie At last we have found a good pub to establish a folk club! Real ale, friendly regulars, chav-free, spacious performing area and music loving landlord! Blackheath Folk Club please come along and support this venture. The first night will be Tuesday 8th April 2008 and hopefully every Tuesday after that! |

19 Mar 08 - 07:15 AM (#2292488) Subject: RE: New Folk Club in Blackheath From: GUEST,woodsie What's that got to do with it? You are obviously out of touch with modern slang "Chav" although originating in romany is nowadays a term that generally describes the lager swilling herberts that walk around in hoodies and baseball caps causing trouble and mayhem. This pub is one of the few in the area that does not attract them. |
|
19 Mar 08 - 08:36 AM (#2292521) Subject: RE: New Folk Club in Blackheath From: NormanD Chav-free, eh? That means no working-class then. I used to live in Blackheath and then very gladly moved to downtown Catford. My local boozer, The Blythe Hill Tavern, has a good Irish session night every Thursday (chavs in one bar, Irish playing chavs in the other). Good luck with the club! |

19 Mar 08 - 08:46 AM (#2292530) Subject: RE: New Folk Club in Blackheath From: the button I would have thought that braying middle-class dickheads in rugby shirts with the collars turned up would have been more of a problem in Blackheath, to be honest. (Lewisham resident & proud). |

19 Mar 08 - 09:26 AM (#2292550) Subject: RE: New Folk Club in Blackheath From: GUEST,Essex Girl The British Oak is not really Blackheath is it Mick. Will this be run as a folk club or just as a session? Sounds interesting anyway. |

19 Mar 08 - 11:24 AM (#2292645) Subject: RE: New Folk Club in Blackheath From: Richard Bridge Nothing wrong with working class. My father started as an apprentice in electrical signalling with GEC, and my maternal grandfather was a carpenter (no, not that carpenter, I'm not that old). Plenty wrong with what are universally referred to as "chavs" these days. I live not far from Chatham, so I do have plenty of chance to see the specie in its natural habitat. I'm no expert on traveller culture, but where I might once have expected to hear the greeting or salutation "chavvy", derived from the Romany, I think it is now more common to hear "Bruv" to indicate a degree of consanguinity. Also, actually, nothing wrong with being properly spoken. |
|
19 Mar 08 - 11:51 AM (#2292660) Subject: RE: New Folk Club in Blackheath From: GUEST,The Mole Catcher's unplugged Apprentice The accepted etymology for "chav" is that it derives from the Romani word "chavi", meaning a child......... the sad part is, I had to plough through so much so-called "uptodate" slang definitions of chav to find this...another piece of someone else's culture co-opted. Charlotte (the view from Ma and Pa's piano stool) |
|
19 Mar 08 - 11:53 AM (#2292664) Subject: RE: New Folk Club in Blackheath From: matt milton i've always felt uncomfortable with the chav word too. just seems like more unnecessary put-downs of people without much money. but best o luck with the club. always good to hear of more good music happening in sarf landan. |

19 Mar 08 - 12:12 PM (#2292676) Subject: RE: New Folk Club in Blackheath From: Mick Woods The only problem we've had "button" has not been from the imaginary hordes of middle classes, but the uninformed snide comments from you, before our club has even started! By the way I am a non-rugby playing Irish citizen, a postman and I live in a council flat! Does that make me acceptable? |

19 Mar 08 - 12:25 PM (#2292686) Subject: RE: New Folk Club in Blackheath From: GUEST,The Mole Catcher's unplugged Apprentice Nice to see a music venue opening, rather than hearing of music venues closing(far too many of those)Good luck all round, have one (or even several *LOL* for me, and who knows one day I might make it to your club :-) Charlotte (the view from Ma and Pa's piano stool) |

19 Mar 08 - 01:12 PM (#2292734) Subject: RE: New Folk Club in Blackheath From: melodeonboy Sorry to keep the thread off topic, but the lingistic issue is of some interest. I'm certainly not of or from Chatham, but I did go to secondary school there. In the sixties and seventies, the use of "chavvy" for man/lad and "malt" (phonetically "mawt") for girl was widespread. I stopped using them when I went to university as nobody there understood them. As far as I remember, the word "chavvy" was fairly neutral. The negative connotation of the word, and the shortening to "chav", appears to have arisen, relatively recently, due to the less than desirable behaviour of certain groups of yobboes who wish to be known as chavs! And, more importantly, well done for finding the venue, Woodsie! |

19 Mar 08 - 01:21 PM (#2292745) Subject: RE: New Folk Club in Blackheath From: GUEST,John Hills As someone who was raised in Charlton(not Charlton Heights or West Charlton, what nonsense) as well as Charing Heath as a child it is my hope that the club prospers and the good works of those running it make it a successful enterprise. Regarding the title it really should be New Folk Club In Charlton. To suggest it is in Blackheath does give a misleading impression. |

19 Mar 08 - 01:43 PM (#2292772) Subject: RE: New Folk Club in Blackheath From: Richard Bridge For the opening night it looks like we need "Old man Mick's a postman He wears a postman's hat The 60s were his decade And he lives in a council flat".. Pray continue, good catters... |

14 Apr 08 - 07:57 AM (#2315015) Subject: RE: New Folk Club in Blackheath From: Ruth Archer I want to know if Mick wears gorblimey trousers or Jaysusandbegorrah trousers... :D I hate the word Chav, both because of its etymology and because it seems like another stick with which to beat the working classes. Yes, there are yobs and louts in every town, but when kids at public schools are having Chav Parties, it's not really very nice. This was a good article: Bottom of the class In any case, the term Chav seems to be a bit passe now, which is a good thing IMHO. Good luck with the new folk club - that's the second one I've heard avbout this week, the first being in East Dulwich. Well done to all those flying the flag. |

01 May 08 - 09:08 AM (#2330519) Subject: RE: New Folk Club in Blackheath From: GUEST,Essex Girl The P.A in the British Oak is a small one and is only really necessary when the pub gets crowded and noisy towards the end of the evening. (As most do). This is not a "folk club" as such, but an open mike (or not) session in the large bar. The only problem I can see with P.A is that it will attract more non-folk musicians and singers. |
|
01 May 08 - 04:27 PM (#2330913) Subject: RE: New Folk Club in Blackheath From: Mick Woods Our original intention was for an acoustic sing - around. This is still our aim. A small PA will be used for visiting guests if they require it and on nights when the bar is crowded - which has been the case the last three weeks - all there for the music as well! |

01 May 08 - 05:24 PM (#2330954) Subject: RE: New Folk Club in Blackheath From: GUEST,The Mole Catcher's unplugged Apprentice Fortunately, via my dad, I've heard of Blue Cheer, and heard that particular version of the song, must say I do prefer the Eddie Cochran version. the band and I performed the song in the Eddie Cochran style one night (and yes we used electric instruments), there were those that got it, and those that didn't, but it was alot of fun nonetheless.

Line-up:- Barry Gollop (acoustic lead-guitar/vocals) Steve Van-Deller (mandolin/10-string cuatro/slide-guitar/vocals) Dave Illingworth (rhythm-guitar/vocals) Material comes from the 1920s onwards, American & British, sad songs and good-time blues, by well-known and lesser known writers plus the odd original and a touch of "traditional". Basically songs we like to sing and play. Thanks Lynne for letting us do it. Dave Illingworth |

19 Apr 09 - 11:59 AM (#2614406) Subject: RE: New Folk Club in Blackheath From: Tug the Cox Well done. I remember the Blackheath folk club in the pub by the railway station inn the early seventies, and loads of sessions at the much mussed Three Tuns. Funny about the Royal Oak, though, we went in after a Blackheath Morris practice and started singing only to be told that there was no music, as the customers didn't like it. The customers were actually joining in lustily, and complained when we had to srop. We all the spoke, loudly in Unison, the wild rover. The landlord didn't see the funnyb side and threw us out. That was 35 years or so ago, so the rules have obviously shanged. The beer was always good, though, the Courage best was delivered in 54 gallon Hogsheads. |
