Monday, Sept 20, East Dulwich Tavern

The week of outdoor film laid on by the Cinema Paradiso's Free Film Festival was a triumph, in spite of many having to be turned away from Nunhead Cemetery because of a restriction on numbers. According to a guy on the door, 675 people turned up at Frank's at the car park for the final film,  Nosferatu. with excellent live musicians, and an added bonus of views of the fireworks from the Thames festival afterwards. 

Bad news: jazz in the Crypt, Camberwell, has been given a week's notice. If you are interested, take time to email them - this is what they say:

Dear Jazz Live Fans

It is with great regret that we have to report to you that , after 15 years of successfully promoting jazz concerts, we have been sacked from the Crypt of St Giles Church  by the church authorities and that the Jazzlive@theCrypt project  no longer exists at St Giles Church. We have moved our jazz promoting operation to Le Petit Parisien Brasserie on Sundays where we will continue to promote high quality live jazz at accessible and affordable prices for you, along with the usual atmosphere and unbeatable vibe we are known for. 

As you know the vicar of St Giles Church the Rev'd Nick George has installed new management at the Crypt led by Mr Mark Dodds of the Sun and Doves pub in Camberwell, with his associate Mr Steve Corbett as venue manager.  Unfortunately the venue manager gave us one week's notice to remove all our equipment from the venue and stop promoting jazz.

Please let us know (jazz@looksouth.net) what you think about this decision, whether you would like to know more about it or do anything about it.   We will get back to you soon!

In the meantime the Jazz Live team and the Company and Registered Charity behind it, Jazz Umbrella, would like to thank all of you for visiting and supporting the club and our music at the Crypt of St Giles Church for the last 15 years, at what will go down in history as one of London's legendary jazz clubs. Please support us in our new venue!

Also, Wethersppon's seems to be on the verge of taking over The Vale, near East Dulwich station. What will happen to the fiddly-diddly music on Sunday nights?
