He knows over a thousand songs, and since 2001 he has set about collating a repertoire of this fabulous part of Traveller heritage.

Ann Shrieves is a singer of mainly traditional Irish ballads. She is a natural storyteller, and a regular visitor to our singarounds.

Ian & Sarah are known to many around SE15. They are wonderful singers who came to our very first singaround in 2010. There singing is loved by many.

Hello people. 

If you're intending to come to this gig can we ask that you buy yourself a ticket from We Got Tickets in advance? please, please?

We sell most of our tickets this way and only ever sell a very small percentage on the door. Currently advance ticket sales have been really poor. So poor in fact that we may have to consider cancelling, which obviously we do not want to do. 

So please, if you're intending to come, the link is below.

If our advance ticket sales for this gig don't significantly increase by this Friday, we are reluctantly going to have to cancel.

If you are intending coming, please buy your tickets now!

Thomas is a one-off, an Irish traveller with a unique singing style handed down through  his family for generations, and a vast collection of songs he has gathered to prevent them from disappearing.

He is also a thoroughly lovely guy who has long campaigned for the rights of travellers, and whose singing is gaining increased international recognition.

There have been two TV documentaries made about him.

He also has a great sense of humour, and is very entertaining as well as being such a good singer!

This is a rare opportunity to see an Irish traveller singer with a unique singing style!

Advance tickets will come offline tomorrow afternoon to enable us to print off the ticket list and go to The Ivy House to set up, but tickets will also  be available on the door tomorrow night, Friday 31 May.

    • I'm glad you are making good use of your car, but bemused how you are saving on petrol by only half filling every 3-4 weeks? Unless this prevents you using the car as often as you would like, surely you would use just the same amount of petrol, and spend the same amount of money, if you filled it up completely every 6 - 8 weeks? Have I missed something here?

    • Would Leon install a new double oven? Our eye level double oven was installed when we had our kitchen installed around 20 years ago and will need to be replaced with similar. I think we had 2 people to install it then - so does Leon work alone?
    • My car was registered in 2004. Automatic, ULEZ compatible.  Used to use it daily for work until 2016 when retired. Still used 3-5 days weekly after that as was doing voluntary work. My mobility has gradually declined and  it is painful to walk.. Family live in Kent, Essex and Sussex - so need car to visit them. My car battery is 2 years old - when had to call out RAC to assist at home as it was dead, they found it was the original battery installed in 2004!! My car is essential - shopping each week, being able to go to garden centres, or DIY stores, taking the cat to the vet and  other social activities. I now only half fill with petrol every 3- 4 weeks, so save that way. I am careful  with my finances and would be lost without the car. It is regularly maintained (Turners).
