The Goose Is Out! Americana Night with JackDaw, Jack Harris, Dan Raza, The Ivy House 40 Stuart Road SE15 3BE,  Friday 30 May 7PM.

JackDaw is an acoustic gathering of Rob Anderson, Gaby Szabo and Lyle Zimmerman. Sometimes joined by Charlie Austen and/or other friends, they play a combination of songs written by Rob, his old bandmate, cult 1970’s Oregon songwriter Wayne Drury, and beloved others.
 
The 2023 release, ‘Ghost InThe Big House’, began as a lockdown project with Rob working out songs, emailing vocal and acoustic guitar tracks to Lyle, who sandpapered, waxed and weeded a band-and-a-half’s-worth of dusty twang and jangle from his home studio’s instrument menagerie. Drums from Jay Shaw and Dan Purtell and plush harmonies from Gaby, Charlie and Lizzy O’Connor, were added, ending up with an album that RnR magazine described as “Neil Young reworking the Rolling Stones’ ‘Wild Horses’”.
Their intimate live performances strip the songs down and bring forward dusty roots and harmonies.

Americana-UK magazine November 2023 - “ A joyful confident album … a sage-like quality to the songs”
 
 
Steeped in myth and mystery Jack Harris's songs bring the narrative tradition of folk and blues music into the here and now.
His debut album 'Broken Yellow' received great acclaim in song- writing circles. Influenced by the old country blues masters (and folk singers of the British Isles), his performances are a riveting display of soulful, smoky vocals and intricate, finger-style guitar playing.
 
"Jack Harris is a priest of song who holds himself to a rigorous ancient code of beauty most of us have forgotten exists" - Anais Mitchell
 
 
Dan Raza has kindly agreed to replace Joe Wilkes who can no longer do the gig. Plucked while still a student to tour with Joan Armatrading, and championed by Neil Young on his ‘Living With War’ website, Dan Raza has spent the first chapter of his career weaving folk troubadour magic around the clubs and halls of the UK, America and Europe while quietly building a reputation as one of the UK’s best-kept musical secrets.

    • @Dulwichway Absolutely - I'm in no way trying to say that what happened was life-changing. I've encountered way worse situations and think of myself as pretty tough, which is why I took them on and got pelted. I suppose I'm just taken aback because the park always seemed so safe. But the stats I've just posted contradict that.   I suppose the one of the points of this thread is to point out that they weren't just numpty youths - I'd bet money on some of them being involved in more serious criminality. And to tell others to be vigilant. 
    • Still, I guess it could be a lot worse than water being thrown at you by these numpty youths during these warmer times? thankfully it wasn't the more dangerous mugging type youths that crossed your path waving knifes and guns in your face!  just a thought? hopefully these muppets will get sorted by plod soon, but don't hold your breath. 
    • Another dramatic spike the previous May 24 -  both crimes around the car park -  could this be related to the massively increased numbers of people around Gala time?
    • No, no need to shut down tfl, just cut out the unnecessary and expensive beauracracy, simples.  Sep, you don't even live here.
