I think this counts as gossip as the tickets aren't on sale yet, so hopefully the folkies amongst you (and the forum administrator) will agree!


Martin Carthy (probably the best known name in the folk world) played the East Dulwich Tavern in the eighties. When he heard there was folk there again, he was keen to come back, but couldn't make any of our dates. Now we've got him!! 24 October is the date for your diaries :)-D I will post in the "What's on" section of the forum as soon as tickets are on sale.


AND we have Dick Gaughan on 14 November. How cool is that :)-D

Whatserface Carthy is Eliza Carthy, Martin Carthy's daughter :))


Erm, she's done quite a lot besides the Imagined Village :))


Martin is married to Norma Waterson (Eliza's mother), one of the Watersons (erm again, very famous folkie family).


Martin was a huge influence in folk music in the sixties revival and is still one of the main players on the folk scene in the UK.


The Goose can't afford Eliza, she now ony appears with her (excellent) band at ?2k plus a time :( We did try !!


:)-D

For those of you without ?2000 spare, Eliza is holding an album launch at Madame Jojo;s on 9th June. Limited tickets are available through her website www.eliza-carthy.com for ?20 including a copy of her new album "Dreams of Breathing Underwater". She'll be playing with her excellent band, plus a few others too

Well, sadly the Goose would have to charge quite a bit more than ?20 for a ticket for Eliza's band, and even then would have to sell out just to break even, if her price is still what her agent quoted me earlier this year! And that's without a free album!


So we can't compete with the album launch, sorry East Dulwich.


:-S


One day, bigger venue ...... maybe ......


Meantime, hey, come and see her Dad !!


:)-D

Just in case any readers of this section don't look at the "What's On" section, tickets for these two gigs are now on sale. Please see the "What's on" thread for further details.


Admin - sorry I know this shouldn't be in the gossip section, but tickets for these gigs will sell out very quickly, so I need to make sure everyone knows they are on sale now.

    • bizarre responses from everyone but Cancerian 🤷🏾‍♀️ As an LL resident surely a perfectly normal enquiry in that one might wish to know who to look out for if lawless/feral kids are wreaking havoc? any distinguishing marks on the perpetrators? presumably the objection is that a physical description might reveal the alleged culprits as non-white? (nothing else makes sense with this bourgeois over-sensitivity). same botched thinking that causes police descriptions of suspects on the loose to omit this info  (top way to protect the public / solve the crime) FYI i'm a mixed-race female and interested in THE TRUTH. hence, i want to protect myself & my family against criminals. so please DESCRIBE the physical appearance of criminals or suspected criminals to help to keep us safe. thankyou.  "underlying agenda... strange" 😂😂😂 strange agenda to wish to be safe in my community. well played 🤯   working the nightshift here & getting mildly obsessed/infuriated with the peculiar responses. someone please explain how wishing to be able to attempt to identify, physically, the perpetrator(s) of an alleged local assault is "strange", with an "agenda"? God help us. (wait... "God"? must be a far-right religious maniac) "Unless there were distinctive features such as unusual clothing, how is that going to identify them"... green & purple mohican with accompanying buffalo 🦬 horns through the nose might do it; or simply hairstyle, skin colour, sartorial outfit... 🤔 "and even if it did, what would be the point, without photographic evidence that they had done anything wrong?" eyewitness reports? 😏    
    • Unless they were wearing school uniform with name tags otherwise children do change their clothes you know. 
    • I'd also recommend Silvano for anyone in the area looking to learn automatic, having just passed first time with 5 minors. He's a very patient teacher and ensured I learned how to drive safely above all. 
    • You don't need to do the research. I had to know the numbers as a TV buyer. I analysed the potential advertising revenue and Channel Four didn't cover their costs. They had some nice 'Channel Four' signs when someone hit the ropes but, In all honesty, a lot a potential revenue was lost because most old knackers were pissed off because they couldn't perve at Carol Vorderman on 'Countdown'.       Sorry, cross-post. I was replying to Malumbu. Give me a minute, if you will. I listened to the first two sessions (today) on TMS and popped down to the pub for the evening one.   I do miss the days of Peter West, Richie Benaud and Tom Graveney on BBC2.   But, the BBC are at least putting on 'Today At The Test' on at around 7pm instead of after midnight.   And it was on the 10pm news.
