The Ivy House, 40 Stuart Road, Nunhead, London (2026)

17/09/2026

The PGs take to The Ivy House stage this coming Tuesday (22nd), alongside the wonderful Gem Stark, as we kick off our autumn series of New Lands.

I caught up with Alison and Mary from the band to chat about the gig, the band, and Alison’s first visit to The Ivy House on her last day of school back in June 1974. Head to theivyhouse.substack.com to read the whole thing, and grab a £7 ticket for the gig on gel!

is The Ivy House’s new music night, which runs every other Tuesday from September to June, providing crucial opportunities for up-and-coming artists to perform. They’re always beautiful evenings, with cheap tickets and early finishes (£7 tickets, wrapped up by 10pm, can’t say fairer than that) and great music from the most exciting new artists in the area. A great way to stumble upon your favourite new band!

Glass Eel joins us this Friday as we celebrate 13 years of community ownership!

Glass Eel is the solo project of London-based artist Alice Western, whose work weaves together the sharp edges of folk tradition with the dissolving outlines of psych, grunge and indie. Inspired by the second, translucent phase of an eel’s life cycle—where tiny creatures drift unseen through the ocean like strands of glass—the project captures a sense of dislocation, fragility, and survival in uncertain environments.

Join us this coming Friday, when Sidney Jones and the Murmuration join us for our 13th Birthday Bash!

Slightly nervous and mercurial, Sidney Jones and the Murmuration draw on avant-pop, rock, singer-songwriter folksiness and other theatrics they have yet to categorise. Their theatrical and surrealist takes on life’s realest moments, combined with Jones’ innate ability to conjure up instant earworm melodies out of thin air, have quickly made them one of the most raved about acts in this corner of the capital.

Next Saturday we welcome Scrounge back to The Ivy House for our 13th Birthday Bash!

DIY heroes and champions of all that is good in punk music, Scrounge is Lucy and Luke: guitar, drums, mic, expressing how it feels to be a young person living in a brutal, fast-changing city, constantly balancing the pressures of trying to stay healthy, pay the bills and make art as part of a genuinely inclusive underground scene, all through the medium of their intense, genre-fluid music.

Super stoked to have Eaves Wilder join us for our 13th Birthday Bash next Saturday!

Fresh off her astoundingly good album Little Miss Sunshine (2026, Secretly Canadian), an amalgamation of influences ranging from 60s Motown, dreamy-shoegaze and Lily Allen, all funnelled through a unique penchant for gargantuan pop moments. It’s not hyperbole to say this may be one of your last chances to see this future superstar in a setting so intimate.

The Ivy House celebrates 13 years of community ownership next weekend with a huge double header across Friday 18th and Saturday 19th September!

On Saturday we’re joined by Jackson Roy, who explores a world between angst-ridden alt rock and experimental folk, sewn together with electronic textures and ethereal arrangements; his playful visions and hooky melodies finding themselves woven through an ever-changing palette of intense dynamic shifts, unpredictable grooves and earnest lyricism.

Swipe for a clip of his video for ‘Glitterball Daze’, taken from his EP ‘Natural Cause’, filmed at The Ivy House earlier this year!

Next weekend we celebrate 13 years of community ownership with a huge double headed monster of an Ivy House Birthday Bash gig.

Headlining Saturday night we have SUEP who, led by Georgie Stott and Joshua Harvey, have become fixtures of south-east London’s underground through a series of shared living spaces, improvised studios and DIY venues. Now with George Nicholls (The Tubs, Joanna Gruesome, GN Band), William Deacon (PC World), and Louis Forster (The Goon Sax, Expiry) completing the line up, their debut album, Forever, is out now and is a resplendent joy.

Preen are singer-songwriters Robin Finetto, David Lawton and Evie Tarr, their three distinct voices in harmony are key to their sound, but also the heart of their creative process. Together they intertwine the rawness and melancholy of acts like Elliott Smith and Big Thief, with the playfulness and classic songwriting of Carpenters and The Beatles. Since forming in 2020, they have become staples of London’s indie scene.

We couldn’t be more stoked to have them headline the first night of our annual BIRTHDAY BASH this Friday 18th September! 🎂

This Monday (31st) we welcome to The Ivy House for the first time, for the debut UK edition of the iconic Portland, OR based screening series. filmschoolpdx was founded by three friends united by their love of cinema and a desire to build a community for like-minded individuals to watch, discuss, and connect through film, and has since built a cult following on the west coast, with monthly screenings of iconic and forgotten favourites, all centred around the core values of inclusivity and open discussion.

I caught up with Film School London operator to chat about what makes Film School so special, and why Monday is going to be so fun.
