The Goose Is Out! Fran McGillivray & Mike Burke, Jackdaw (featuring Rob Anderson), James Riley: The Ivy House 40 Stuart Road, Fri 24 June, 7pm.


Tickets here: https://www.wegottickets.com/thegooseisout


Fran McGillivray & Mike Burke have long been Goose favourites, and we are delighted to be welcoming them back as part of this Americana Night. They recently released a fantastic album, "Rain" with Roger Nunn which got brilliant reviews ? expect a storming set from this excellent duo!


?A new twist on old music?. Rock ?n? Reel


JackDaw is a union of Rob Anderson and a number of London musicians, primarily from the local Americana community. Rather than a band per se, JackDaw is home for songs written by Rob and Wayne Drury and live performances include a varying combination of the musicians involved.


Greg Johnson of Maverick Magazine has said of their recent album, ?No Cactus?: ?This is an excellent album? great musicians, fine songwriting and a wonderful laid back groove.?


With one hand scribbling lyrics onto the back of a roadmap, and the other held aloft to thumb down a ride, London born singer-songwriter James Riley is a troubadour of the kind many thought no longer exist.


A ?fiendishly proficient? guitarist, singer, and a roadrunner to match, James Riley chronicles the story of his experiences through clamorous, jubilant bluegrass ?n? soul and exquisitely spun yarns, sewn through ethereal, almost hymn-like ballads of love and life.


?It hooked us on first listen?from the harmonies to the guitar work there?s nothing to not like? - Folk Radio UK

    • Without doubt a busy road with constant traffic - but can always put in double glazing. If you have a car, don’t expect to park right outside - prob further away but with walking distance. Agree with PeckhamNicola re train times and freight but at least not wizzing by every few minutes! Sorry but little experience in state schools - obviously you have plenty of private - Jags Dulwich College, Alleyns. Judith Kerr on Half Moon Lane - good rep - no idea whether secondary or primary  - think primary. Also Charter School North - good reputation and Ark Evelyn - no idea! You might also look at West Dulwichand Crystal Palace Schools. Try Harris Academy as well. All the best.
    • It shouldn't be a difficult DIY job. Replacement cylinders are available here are a couple  https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/236294046742  https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/177388193151 What is the make and model of your chair?? Unless its a Herman Miller then its worth fixing but some other may not be worth it.
    • Returning to the question, although still not directly answering I'm afraid as ive not lived on that road: I have previously lived in a house where the railway line was behind the house and over a playing field, and also in a flat blocked from the railway line by at least one more block worth of houses. I would not live that close to a railway line again. In the house the noise with the windows open always disturbed me at night. And you need to bear it mind it is not just the timetables of passenger trains you need to consider, at night time there could be freight trains too. That was my problem in the flat: not noise, I was shielded from that, but the weight of the freight trains passing made the whole building shake enough to wake me up. If you are a sounder sleeper or less sensitive to noise it could be fine. I would suggest checking if freight trains use that route though.
    • Thanks TWB, that is all really useful. However, if  memory serves, The Fox Project actually directed me to The Fox Angels when I phoned them, and had no facilities in this area for sending anybody out themselves. They seem to be based in Tunbridge Wells. The Greenwich Wildlife Network also just suggests other organisations who may help in certain situations. To the best of my knowledge, however, for situations involving foxes, including injured or ill  foxes, Fox Angels are the only people who have someone available very locally who can come out virtually immediately (I waited maybe half an hour after I phoned them). The person who came had all the necessary equipment to move the fox, was very gentle and caring, and took the fox to a local vet (it sadly died). It's possible that if you phoned a local vet they would help, if you could get the fox there. The RSPCA has guidelines on what to do if you find an  animal in need,  however although they have recently had a campaign on this (and sent me a badge and a copy of the guidelines on a pocket sized card) I can't find them online. I attach a photo. Don't know if the QR code would work from a photo.
