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

    • Another glowing recommendation for Keith. We’re incredibly grateful to EDF for helping us find Keith - I had lots of other quotes from companies who were upselling the work we needed, whereas Keith was very friendly, honest, knowledgeable and competitively priced.  He was incredibly communicative through the whole job and carefully thought through his approach. He did lime mortar repointing along with some brick and masonry repairs, and did everything to a very high standard. We could absolutely trust his advice. He’s lovely to chat to and very respectful of neighbours, clearly communicating when there would be noise or mess. He organised the scaffolding company who were also excellent (Reliable Scaffolding). They worked around limited parking and were prompt to take down the scaffolding once the work was finished. The scaffolding was also much cheaper than other quotes.  Couldn’t recommend Keith enough and we already have him booked in to do another job for us. 
    • If you mean the joinery firm that made windows and doors, it closed down several years ago and a private house was built on the site.
    • I’ve been looking at their website from time to time over the last few years and I was sure that at least one loaf - the signature sourdough - is supplied by the BreadBread bakery who are at a lot of markets at weekends and who used to have a small cafe bakery shop in Brixton Market. I used to go there specifically to get their bread.   They are also affiliated with Franco Manca.  That was the first FM, co-founded by Bridget Hugo, who died last year. BreadBread also supplied the bread for the now closed Crooked Well pub restaurant (but now open under a different name - The Kerfield Arms)  in Grove Lane SE5.  Not sure where the pastries come from but it doesn’t seem possible to choose which ones to have delivered.  I do think they chop and change the suppliers from time to time.  I like the look of the (expensive) crullers they sometimes have plus granola, the savoury pastries and expensive bagels.  They frequently have special offers for a first delivery.  40% is the highest discount I’ve seen so far. I too would be worried about a fox being an opportunist.
    • Yes, they sound excellent.
