This Week at The Alma...
The Alma News 2nd December 2009
CHECK OUT OUR AMAZING NEW GATES by local artisan Jonathan Rowlandson!
Get Your Fruit and Veg from the stall outside The Alma!
Avoid the queues; it's fresher and chaper than Sainsbury's :)
plus: the best value Christmas Trees in Crystal Palace: Potted Grade A non drop nordman firs from £25.
The main advantage of the potted tree is that it can be kept fresh, and has no need for a stand. If well looked after and not overheated the tree can be replanted after the festive period to add real depth to your garden (although they are not intended for this purpose, most survive).
Music this week at The Alma
Friday 4th December
Errol Linton's Blues Vibe
Three times winner of UK Blues Harmonica Player of the year, Errol Linton and band The Blues Vibe, play eclectic British blues, but with a nod to his Carribbean heritage. Singer, songwriter, harp player and bandleader, Errol carries the legacy of Little Walter, Junior Wells and Sonny Boy Williamson into the twenty first century, moving the genre forward by combining 50’s Chicago blues with gentle Jamaica rhythms.

The Alma Garden Christmas Market
The first week was a great success, lots of things were sold, lots of swedish Glogg was drunk and a four year old MJ showed us that croydon clearly DOES have talent! Santa had a ball too, and the grotto made lots of money for Kith and Kids Charity... so now we're doing it again every saturday until christmas.
SOO, come along this saturday to do a bit of early christmas shopping, have some nice food and drink and just enjoy the atmosphere.
