The 2026 January First Tues Night at OLC will culminate in a full set from MARK NEWLOVE. The South East London based singer songwriter will treat us to a selection from his big repertoire of lively, zany & original self penned songs with inspiration drawn from a bewildering mix of muscal genres including folk, pop, rock, sea shanties, psychedelia, country, and more.

In support will be friends Curtis Savage & Geraldine Ann Ford.

We start the evening with floorspots for the 1st 40 min followed by showcase sets of around 25 minutes each from Curtis & Gel before taking a mid-evening break at around 9.

If you’d like to perform, please come early and flag up your intentions on arrival to avoid disappointment. We’re open to poets in addition to singers, musicians, and, of course, an audience.

There’ll be a PA available with mics & leads for plugin & play.

A hat collection in CASH goes to the guests, with a suggested minimum contribution of £6 per head. Please give more if you can afford it, they are first class act.

The CAMRA award-winning bar will be open from 6.15 pm. CARD payments only
