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

    • Hi, does anyone have their up to date number please?
    • I imagine Franco Manca's business dropped off quite a bit when Yard Sale opened (though isn't Yard Sale delivery only?) But in any case, both of those are chains.
    • Thanks. I'll call them shortly as I could get there without the car.  That's good of Sainsburys! We've done the apple pie and tart thing, an ongoing muesli thing and the coleslaw thing - just not sure what effect all the sugars are having on our digestive tracts.  If we were in Somerset and had a press, I'd consider it. Can't be that diffcult, can it?
    • One time Sainsbury's delivered 6 bags of apples instead of 6 single apples which I couldn't possibly get through. I phoned Pecan in Peckham to ask if they would accept them despite their website stating no fresh foods. I must have phoned at just the right time as they were happy to accept them. Sainsburys gave me a refund so the donation was courtesy of them. Or you could experiment with all kinds of apple recipes and write a blog about it
