Bend It Like Beckham remains a defining portrait of turn-of-the-millennium Britain, where football, friendship and cultural expectation collide. Through the story of Jess, a British-Indian teenager determined to play the game she loves, the film captures the complexities of belonging with warmth, humour and remarkable ease. Long before conversations around representation became mainstream, it offered a nuanced vision of multicultural youth culture—one that still resonates across generations of fans, athletes and dreamers.

Join us at The Ivy House on Thursday 9th July for a free screening of the film, presented by deepermovies. Free tickets available on DICE.

Stoked to announce a truly mega show here on Friday August 14th, where we’ll be joined by Iona Zajac, Dorothy and Marsy - a week before they all head to the Welsh valleys to perform at Green Man Festival. Tickets are on sale now via .now or Dice.

There’s an unwavering resilience coursing through Bang, the masterful debut album from Iona Zajac. This is evident in the Scottish singer-songwriter’s astute articulations of the anger she felt whilst reflecting on personal and global experiences centred on the abuse of women: “Ask her, ask us all,” she intones in the atmospheric opener, ‘Bowls’. From there, Zajac confronts the emotional impact of toxic relationships and emerges with a renewed sense of worth which abounds. As well as untangling trauma, Bang is an exhilarating celebration of womanhood steered by the enduring influence of Maya Angelou and Emily Dickinson as Zajac delivers an unfiltered portrait of strength. Visceral in its message and delivery, Bang is an essential body of work that not only introduces audiences to Iona Zajac’s commanding voice, but provides a collective expression for women with shared experiences.

Dorothy comprises Jude Woodhead (aka Saint Jude), Marco Pini (of GG Skips, Sorry, RIP Magic), and Francesca Brierley (aka heka).

Marsy are an indie-folk and rock band whose debut EP, Magic, was recently released through Heavenly Recordings. Featuring Hannah & Luke Rodgers, Reuben Kyriakides, Lucy Rushton and Sean Harper, the band blend folk melodies with timeless songwriting and memorable hooks.

TUESDAY 2ND - New Lands: Flypaper + Same Old
Flypaper is the project of Rory Sear, influenced by the sophisticated, narrative-driven songwriting of Brian Wilson, Harry Nilsson and Randy Newman, Sear creates gorgeous, rocking chair odes to the stresses and boredoms of London life.

There’s a gentle, fuzzy warmth nestled inside the timeless chord changes and whimsical lyrics that characterise the sound of Same Old. Each song is delicately lo-fi and charmingly wonky, drawing references from the likes of Ivor Cutler, Laura Marling and Randy Newman.

fanclub is the project of Robbie Carman and their debut EP, So It Goes, was released at the end of last year on . Though the material is written by Carman, the band record and perform live as an energetic seven piece, which has slowly grown since they made their live debut a couple years back on our very own stage. The group consists of members from other bands who’ll be more than familiar to Ivy House regulars (nudista, Flypaper, Wilshaw, Moon Balloon, Baggio) - a gang of friends and collaborators whose infectious friendship eminates from any stage they take. Clearly influenced by the likes of Beck, The Clean, Buzzcocks and the Undertones, their live shows are rollicking and unmissable.

Grab a ticket today for just £8+bf on Gel or Dice - (lower booking fees on Gel!) - or buy on the door tomorrow for a couple quid extra. The choice is yours.

They headline Saturday night at The Ivy House, which also features Sinatra Lives... A Tribute to Frank Sinatra, featuring many of Nunhead’s most revered faces and respected musicians.

Earlier that day we showcase four of South London’s most excited young bands; Scrounge, flytrap, tall child (who’ve just reached the final five of Green Man Rising!) and Free Lunch.

All the while we’ll be plying you with pints, drawn from 50+ kegs of guest beers and ciders, and will be in the kitchen cooking up a storm!!

Beer Fest kicks off on Friday, with Matthew Ryan Thomas & Garden Centre taking the stage, and wraps up on Sunday with Doolally Tap and a Bring Your Own Vinyl Open Decks.

Did we mention that this is all for free? You can literally just walk in.

Super duper excited to welcome tall child back to The Ivy House this Saturday afternoon, as part of our mammoth Beer Fest weekender!

tall child is the alias for Zha Gandhi, a South East London based musician of Nigerian/Indian heritage paving the way for black artists in the indie music scene. tall child takes inspiration from the likes of Mitski, Radiohead, Rachel Chinouriri and Arlo Parks, to create a beautifully intimate and authentic basis for their soundscape. They build on this with a brutally honest style of lyricism, that explores their experiences as a q***r disabled POC, to develop a sonic space especially for those who feel their differences being used against them.

They’ve also just reached the final five of Green Man Rising 2026, so this is a great chance to come see what the fuss is about before they’re too big!!

In other news, sadly Animal Soup can no longer join us tomorrow, but we do have the wonderful and inimitable Kevin! stepping into open up proceedings on Friday evening! What a treat!!!

See you tomorrow for beers, ciders, foods and tunes :)
