Nancy Kerr & James Fagan, The Sparrow Down, Ian Kennedy & Sarah Lloyd: The Goose Is Out, The Ivy House 40 Stuart Road, London SE15 3BE. Friday 28 February, doors 7pm. https://www.wegottickets.com/thegooseisout



Nancy Kerr and James Fagan are one of the best-known and most experienced folk duos on the British circuit today. Outstanding musicianship, a lifelong grounding in traditional singing and instrumental playing, acclaimed original compositions but most noticeably a visceral chemistry between these two make Kerr and Fagan a perennial favourite at festivals, venues and clubs across the country. They appeared at The Goose previously as part of Melrose Quartet and we are delighted they are returning as a duo.


?Quite simply the most refreshing, impressive and compelling combo I?ve seen for ages?. John Kirkpatrick


?A real example of virtuosity being put to the service of the music.? Living Tradition


The Sparrow Down are a London based duo, drawing influences from old time Americana and contemporary folk musicians such as Richard Thompson, Pharis and Jason Romero, and Lau. Through the interplay between banjo, guitar and vocal harmony they create a sweet, full chorus of emotion.


Ian Kennedy & Sarah Lloyd have been stalwarts of our Singarounds ever since they started, as well as often doing floorspots at our Club Nights, singing as part of our ?local traditional singers? supports at concerts, and being absolute stars on the door and ticket table.

    • I completely agree with you . Its as if they have their foot in the door and are just pushing and pushing. It's ridiculous. It's not the right space. they clearly do not give any regard to the environment or they would move it.  
    • There's a great badminton club at the Harris girls academy. It runs Friday from 5.30 to 6.45. for more experienced players, they have sessions on Wednesday and Friday, too but that's subject to skill levels 
    • There seem to be all sorts of blocks for this event being mounted on the Common, one is that it was 'designed especially' for the current site, though the organisers seem to have had absolutely no problem rejigging their plans to the original site footprint to expand the event to what we had last year- which I think really imposed on a large part of the park and spoilt the feel. I would suggest pressing very hard for relocation to the Common ( also closer to transport links). There must be a way, surely? If not, then wholesale relocation to a more suitable venue. I just do not think the park should be subjected to a festival-goer footfall of 60,000 plus over the summer.
    • I absolutely will. Fed up of property developments that are funded from offshore investors and price out local people. Fed up of the demise of social rents and the growing crisis of families in bed and breakfast. Fed up of young people being unable to save deposits, start families and generally have the same security of tenure that previous generations had. So yes, I will drill down into the financing, affordability, where the properties aer being advertised for sale, and how many are genuinely for social rent. Otherwise, no opposition to redeveloping that site in that way.
