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.

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
