Irish Night with Thomas McCarthy, Donal Maguire, Racker Donnelly: The Goose Is Out! The Ivy House, 40 Stuart Road, SE15 3BE. Friday 29 Sept... Doors open 7 pm.

Tickets: http://www.wegottickets.com/thegooseisout



Thomas McCarthy has appeared at the Goose several times, including at our benefit concert in aid of Help Refugees, and each time has been absolutely brilliant!


Thomas is a singer from an Irish Traveller family in Birr, County Offaly. From a considerable dynasty of traditional singers, song-makers and musicians, Thomas grew up surrounded by the singing of his late mother, her father and aunts and uncles and now lives in London.


?The greatest Irish traditional singer in fifty years? ? Joe Power, Conneries? Singing Club, Waterford

D?nal Maguire has long been a well-known face on the folk scene. He was a resident at the Singers Club back in the day, along with Ewan MacColl and Peggy Seeger.


While D?nal has been primarily associated with unaccompanied singing, he has significant other ?strings to his bow?. He is a fine interpreter of contemporary material, as well as an excellent singer of traditional material, and can accompany himself on a range of stringed instruments. He is universally recognised as one of the finest players of Irish dance music on mandolin and tenor banjo

You won?t have heard anything like Racker Donnelly. Unless of course, you?ve seen Racker Donnelly before. In which case you will have (and will be here tonight!)


Brilliant. Genius. Lovely stuff ? BBC Radio 4


A wonderful performer ? Martin Carthy


Never less than brilliant. The best performance poet I?ve ever heard, a breath of fresh air on the London folk scene. Racker for Poet Laureate! ? Ken Hall

    • tried the traditional beef empanada yesterday and it was amazing honestly, hotter and better than the other place (no offence!). I really don’t see the issue with having more than one of the same type of shop – we’ve got Indian restaurants, two supermarkets, two cheese shops, two pizza joints, even two paint shops! So I don’t get what all the fuss is about. Good food is good food, and there’s room for everyone.
    • I understand you access ancestry from any Southwark library computer. Or see the real post office directories in archive. 
    • Hello! We are relocating abroad and so will be withdrawing our two children (ages 4 and 6) from St Dunstan’s College (Catford). If any family is considering enrolling children of a similar age, now would be an excellent opportunity—we’re required to pay full‑term fees unless the places are taken. Please get in touch if you’re interested or know someone who might be. Thank you!
