The Telegraph pub in Dennetts Road, New Cross (or to give it its full name in honour of its former incarnation, 'The Telegraph at the Early of Derby') hosts lots of musical and other social events, including a popular open mic night. Last night Malcolm and Catherine, the landlord and landlady, sang their own version of the Pogues' Christmas classic: 'the Fairytale of New Cross'.
The lines include 'The girls from the Telegraph Community Choir still singing Galway Bay', and indeed the said choir will be singing Carols at the pub tonight at 8 pm. Also tonight, the Winter Solstice Night of the Beasts Parade will be heading off from the pub at around 5:30 pm.
