New Cross Roads Blues Show

“Welcome to downtown New Cross – the place where two mighty metal rivers meet – the confluence – the crossroads – here in New Cross the mighty A2 pounds majestically seaward and crosses, in a tumult of spray, flume and exhaust fume, the thundering A20 as it rises over the foothills of Lewisham before crashing onwards down thru the badlands of South East London on its own journey to the sea.

Come with us down these pounding New Cross Roads and meet the people who live here. They are doing the New Cross Gait – it’s the walk of life…. This ain’t no upwardly mobile freeway, oh no, this is the New Cross Roads…… tonight, for one night only, live in New Cross, we have real music played by real musicians to real people drinking real beer in a real pub, and here is your host, he’s dirty, he’s down and out in London, he’s the baddest pirate that ever sailed the up the Thames without a paddle, Here’s Johnny Deptford ”
