Thomas McCarthy, Ian Kennedy & Sarah Lloyd, Local Traditional Singers. The Goose Is Out! The Ivy House, 40 Stuart Road, Nunhead, London SE15 3BE. Friday 24 May, 7 pm. Advance Tickets are available from https://www.wegottickets.com/thegooseisout


Thomas McCarthy came to the Goose for the first time to support Coope, Boyes & Simpson, and then did a stunning gig as a headliner in his own right!


He returned to the Goose twice in 2016 ? in January as part of our Refugee Benefit Concert, and in November to headline at our final Ivy House concert of the year.


We are delighted to be welcoming him back in 2019!


And even more delighted that he has been awarded the Irish traditional music accolade of Singer of the Year at TG4?s Gradam Ceoil Award ceremony, to be held in Belfast in February 2019.


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.


Having spent his life learning the songs of his family, in 2008 Thomas sang publicly for the first time at the folk club at London?s Cecil Sharp House. By the following year, he had sung at the most prominent folk festivals and clubs in Ireland and England, appeared on BBC Radio, and has since shared a stage with many well-known performers including Lou Killen and The Copper Family and has won the praises of many other respected musicians besides.


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


Ian Kennedy and Sarah Lloyd will be well known to many (probably most!) of you as not only are they regular singers at our Singarounds and Thursday Club nights, but they have been staunch supporters of the Goose more or less since we began, and are often to be found on the door or at the ticket desk at our gigs.


Also supporting Thomas will be some of the other local traditional singers who sing at our Singarounds. They are Kate Owen, Elliot Clifford-Coope and Jacken Elswyth who enthralled everyone at the Roberts, Scuse & McGuinness gig recently with her extraordinary banjo playing, tonight she will sing unaccompanied.

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
