A jumble in the sun...

Last week's April jumble saw vintage dresses, classic fiction books, fantastically silly bra-bags, cool jewellery, amazing kitsch paintings and inexplicably, men's jumpers and ski jackets (good work style geeks), on the hottest day of the year so far!

Lots of fun was had by all with resident uke players trying their hand and even some original tunes sung by some new songsters.

Good work people. Looking forward to May 29th and the next one.

Photos from the March fun...

Thanks to the lovely Elle Finland photographer Aleksi Niemela for taking these smashing pictures.

I'll keep you posted as to when we're in the mag.

Another fab new stallholder...

Adam adam adam (so good they named him three times) is a t.shirt brand that most recently seen worn by some kid on skins. Citing.

http://adamadamadam.com/

They are pretty smashing though, particularly if you like skulls, clowns and skully-clowns. And lets be honest, who doesn't?

They're all one-off's and hand printed so you'll be buying a modern classic. Again, I'll definitely be spending a few smart dollars on one of these beauties at the March Jumble.

Ah! Beautiful Bonbon...

Check out these lovelies. Books from the lovely (soon to be stallholder) bookbook bonbon.

http://www.bookbookbonbon.com/

They make vintage trash novels (well that's a matter of opinion surely!), into notebooks.

They're really fab pressies, and I for one will be snaffling some up at the March jumble. Mmmmm.

Jumblers!

Well hello there. Welcome to the new Going For A Song Jumble blog.

We're here to keep you posted about what's g'aan down at the new jumble sale at the Amersham Arms, New Cross, on the last Saturday of every month.

Yesterday (and the very first outing of the new look musical event) went swimmingly with some fantastic vintage clothes, fancy nick nacks, epic Guinness cake and a rather impressive bunch of ladies and gents on stage treating the tea-tastic and ginned-up audience to musical delights.

If you're a stall holder, punter or just interested, email us at goingforasongjumble@googlemail.com.

If you're a singer, musician, or just want to heckle email us at goingforasongmusic@googlemail.com.

Fanks.
