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

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

    • 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.
