Gemma Khawaja: The Goose Is Out! The Ivy House, 40 Stuart Road, Nunhead, SE15 3BE. Thursday May 10, 7PM

Floorspots welcome ?7 on the door


We are delighted to be welcoming Gemma Khawaja back to the Goose. She was last here supporting Alasdair Roberts in November, and we are really pleased that she is now headlining in her own right.


We first came across Gemma and her beautiful singing at Leigh Folk Festival a few years back (a great free festival by the sea which is always good for talent spotting!)


Gemma is a singer & guitarist from the Midlands, now based in Norfolk, who plays and sings traditional songs of the British Isles and creates her own songs inspired by rural poets, mythology, and folklore.


Her arrangements of traditional songs emphasise the universal stories and themes found in folk traditions and sensitively draw out the richness and beauty of the old melodies.


She is the winner of the 2013 Islington Folk Club Trad2Mad unaccompanied song competition.


??powerful, unpretentious and rooted? ? Mike Harding


Here's Gemma

    • A bit of a long shot but I'm on the lookout for a portable pop-up counter or podium.   The kind you often see on a high street, used by charities or utility companies to advertise their wares.   I've included a photo to give you the idea. I'm a peckham-based artist and am looking for one for a free (and non-profit) community art project.  It can be in any workable condition and can already have signage on it as we will remove and redecorate ourselves.    Thanks in advance, Linzie
    • No I absolutely did not - that much is clear. Have you read the latest stories about Unite, Len and the hotel in Birmingham? The UK electorate were smart enough to reject a far-left party in 2019, let's hope they are smart enough to reject a far-right party at the next election too. If not we are all doomed.
    • I would also like to add my recommendation for James.  I had taken four names of electricians from the forum - in the order I had read the reviews.  First three no response - even days later. I phoned James this morning. He answered, gave me a time, stuck to it, messaged again 15 mins before arrival.  He fixed my problem on the spot.  Sensible charge out fee. Perfect service.  
    • Most recent polls for the next election suggest it will be a hung parliament, with Reform the largest party by a fair margin. But that is predicated on Reform finding around 300 candidates who are actually electable. Given the number of Reform council candidates who have had to drop out prior to or after the local elections, does that seem likely? Social media is pretty unforgiving when it comes to finding skeletons in cupboards; a retweet or a like seems enough to scupper political ambitions. A few may defect from other parties, but do you think the electorate would really vote for so many brand new MPs from a newish party?  I'm not so sure.
