The Goose Is Out! Wizz Jones with Simeon Jones, Alfie Jones, Sam Grassie, Robin Adams, The Ivy House, 28 Feb. 7pm

https://wegottickets.com/thegooseisout

Inspired by hearing Big Bill Broonzy and Ramblin' Jack Elliot, Wizz Jones learnt his guitar licks from the likes of Davy Graham and Long John Baldry whilst playing in the coffee bars of London's Soho in the late 1950's.
 
He then followed the time-honoured buskers' trail from the streets of Paris to the markets of Marrakech during the early 1960's and returned to Britain with a unique acoustic guitar style, an eclectic repertoire and a 'right hand worthy of Broonzy'. Simeon Jones, Wizz's son, plays sax, flute and harmonica.
 
 
Alfie Jones, Wizz's grandson, is following in Wizz's footsteps by playing guitar, and is an excellent musician in his own right. More information about Alfie coming soon!
 
Robin Adams is a Glasgow based singer/songwriter. He has released 6 full length albums, from 2009's Down to Reverie to 2020's One Day, all of which have received critical acclaim.
 
Scottish-born, London-based fingerstyle guitarist and songwriter Sam Grassie is talented beyond his years - a young musician lending fresh energy to time-worn sounds, and a rising star in the world of trad folk.

This is now sold out.

We Got Tickets are running a waiting list.

If you have tickets which you can't now use, please contact We Got Tickets directly, and if they can resell your tickets to someone on the waiting list, they will refund you.

If I had tickets I'd be legally reselling them through StubHub, Getmein etc.  But to be serious great to hear that the gig is sold out, you are and Nyge are a credit to the area.

Ah, thanks Malumbu

But  it's down to Wizz that the gig is sold out, I'm not sure we can take any credit for his being brilliant (apart from booking him and telling people about it!)

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
