The Goose Is Out! John Otway & Wild Willy Barrett, Dove's Vagaries , The Ivy House, 40 Stuart Road SE15, Friday 26 May 7pm. Advance ticket here : https://www.wegottickets.com/thegooseisout John and Willy’s roots were originally in acoustic, roots and folk. Otway was hugely influenced by early Bob Dylan, Otway’s early gigs were on the folk circuit. In the early 70’s Willy Barrett enjoyed an enviable reputation on the folk scene. Willy features on The Contemporary Folk Guitar album with Bert Jansch, John Renbourn, Gordon Giltrap and Ralph McTell. He performed numerous times at the Cambridge Folk Festival. Willy also spent time as guitarist with George Hamilton IV. Otway & Barrett’s grungy fast and furious fiddle, banjo and guitar with sweet and sour harmonies became pigeon-holed by the punk rock/new wave genre. “One of the most hilarious acts ever to grace a UK stage” The Guardian Dove's Vagaries are Sarah Pavey & Chris Evans who sing and play melodeon, flute, Anglo concertinas, guitar, pipes, drum and the exotic Hulusi (Chinese gourd flute). They perform an entertaining mixture of Playford-era and music hall songs and tunes, with some traditional English dance tunes as well. Chris & Sarah are also half of Morrigan, the vocal harmony group from Kent. Otway & Barrett "https://www.youtube.com/embed/QeV5ZedLwIo"

The Goose Is Out! Martin Carthy, Creeping Jane, Mark Whittaker, The Ivy House, 40 Stuart Road, SE15. Friday 28 April. Doors open 7pm https://www.wegottickets.com/thegooseisout A ballad singer, a ground-breaking acoustic and electric-guitarist and an authoritative interpreter of newly composed material. He always prefers to follow an insatiable musical curiosity rather than cash in on his unrivaled position. Perhaps, most significant of all, are his settings of traditional songs with guitar, which have influenced a generation of artists, including Bob Dylan and Paul Simon, on both sides of the Atlantic. "Arguably the greatest English folk song performer, writer, collector and editor of them all" - Q Magazine Creeping Jane are Sue and Nygel who have been running the Goose for the last fifteen years and Mark Whittaker is a regular at the monthly Goose singarounds.

Thanks very much for the kind words Nygel
