John Kirkpatrick, Lucy & Hazel, Matt Milton, The Goose Is Out! The Ivy House 25 April The Ivy House


Recommended Posts

John Kirkpatrick, Lucy & Hazel, Matt Milton, The Goose Is Out! The Ivy House 25 April The Ivy House 40 Stuart Road SE15 3BE, 7PM.
 
 
We're delighted to have John returning to The Goose!
 
Tonight will be the LONDON LAUNCH OF HIS NEW SHOW "200 YEARS OF THE SQUEEZEBOX"! 
 
"Folk music" as we think of it was the popular music of the people when those songs were originally written, and John will be highlighting the hits of the day from the time that squeezeboxes first appeared in the 1820s!
 
Expect a fantastic variety of tunes and songs ranging way beyond John's usual "folk roots"! They will include themes from the classics, well-loved songs, dance music of all kinds and the occasional lugubrious hymn by way of contrast, all played in John's inimitable style on the Anglo Concertina, the Melodeon and the Button Accordion!
 
 
"Lucy & Hazel are surely the queens of the new vibe of British folk to be emerging from the radical activist left. Folk music just got very exciting!" - Sam Lee
 
 
Matt Milton sings traditional folk and blues songs, and plays guitar, fiddle and banjo. He has played in many folk clubs all over London, and has supported John Kirkpatrick, Andy Irvine and many other well known figures in the folk world.

    • A Google search brought up eleven Chango  branches, although they don't all seem to be listed on their website. In the order they came up: East Dulwich, Clapham Common, Mayfair, Wandsworth, City of London, Wimbledon,  Parsons Green, Kensington, Highgate, Richmond, Hampstead. I think it is the positioning of this new branch that has mostly got to me. I accept that they would have to go for where a space became vacant, but Lordship Lane is pretty long, even just the part with shops in,  and choosing to  open a stone's throw away from Chacarero seems mean, to say the least. I wonder if they have made contact with Chacarero. It would be nice to think they had (in a friendly way, obviously!)
    • I like empanadas. I don't think Chango is a massive chain - it's got a few stores all in London I believe (stand to be corrected if I've got that wrong). I don't see a problem with them opening on the Lane personally. I really like Chacarero, but that doesn't mean that they should be immune from competition - if they're successful and open a couple more stores, are we then meant to stop supporting them for being a 'chain'?  That opening post does sound a lot like marketing spiel though. Is the OP perhaps connected to the new business I wonder?
    • According to what I can see online, Dynamic Vines and Cave de Bruno sell totally different kinds of wine to each other.  Dynamic Vines  "work with independent winemakers who produce outstanding wine using sustainable practices in the vineyard and minimal intervention in the cellar".  Cave de Bruno specialises in French wines and spirits from small independent producers. So two different USPs, and no doubt two different but overlapping customer bases who can afford these wines. Probably different again to the people mainly  shopping for wine at Majestic or the Co op. On the other hand, the two empanada shops appear on the face of it to be selling virtually identical products. But time will tell, won't it? Let's see how they are both doing in - say - a couple of years' time. Impossible, of course, to compare that with how they would have done if there had been only one of them. I just feel more  sorry for the original one than for  the one which can apparently already afford to have a number of shops in places like Mayfair and Highgate. I'm tempted to buy something there every week, and I don't even like that kind of pastry 🤣
    • Not only can he turn olive oil into Vermouth, but also water into a wine. A true miracle worker.  I wouldn't say a wine shop sells a wide variety of things - and there are two right next to each other.  And once upon a time, upmarket pizza shops were very specific. So were burritos etc. These Argentinian cornish pasties are clearly becoming mainstream; we should consider ourselves lucky to be witnessing this exciting upward trend within our lifetimes and on OUR HIGH STREET. We can tell our grandkids that we remember when there was no internet and no empanadas.  I'm sure that if the family empanada people have a good business head, they'll be able to ride this wave of competition, just like Bruno has.
