Jody Kruskal: The Goose Is Out! The Old Nun's Head, 15 Nunhead Green, SE15 3QQ. Friday 14 Nov 7.45pm. ? 7 on the door.

Floorspots welcome



Jody Kruskal sings vintage American songs and play tunes on the Anglo concertina. He is from New York City, yet performs regularly in the UK.


His concerts offer a warm and engaging solo presentation of traditional and popular American songs from yesteryear. From witty and humorous ditties to songs that explore the depths of the human condition, his singing tells American stories that are hilarious, gritty and true? stories of train wrecks and wrecked marriages, death row convicts and lonesome lovers, heroes, swaggering braggarts, lazy slackers and slapstick fools. Plan to join in on the chorus.


His love affair with the concertina goes back thirty years. He often plays at local New York contra dances with a number of bands. He has played extensively for morris and sword teams and also many Playford dances in NYC.


........................................


?What a refreshing sound!? ? Sing out!


?Brilliant concertina player? ? Vin Garbutt (see, he agrees with us!)


?Technical fireworks? exceptional skills? very exciting playing? he?s able to make the anglo-concertina sound like a mouth organ? bending and blurring notes, so that his playing could never be mistaken for that of an English or even Irish player. ? ? Rod Stradling, Musical Traditions


?Jody is an Anglo concertina virtuoso from the USA with a joyful, energetic & distinctive style; he?s a master of American contra dance, old-time and music-hall. He?s a fine singer. He writes stonkingly good tunes, too.? ? Lewes Saturday Folk Club

      Recommendation for a decorator in Dulwich/Peckham/Nunhead - Kam 07949 507412

      Kam was with us last week to wallpaper a bedroom. He was a pleasure to deal with and did a fantastic job - very neat and matched the tricky pattern very well. Would certainly use again.

      Dulwich library closing for refurbishment

      By TittyMaster · Posted

      What a bunch of pieholes. 2025 and you peasants have nothing to be grateful for. I have been inside the library recently and honestly the old girl is crying for a facelift, the goddamn carpet looks like it survived the world war and some. The Library is one of the oldest in Southwark and you are crying about a study place? What a bunch of bullshit. You have libraries all around you for your kids to go their studying you rotten sausage. How about be happy that the library is going to look absolutely stunning rather than be a whining bitch about it   Also, I have been told that the staffs have to work in the smaller libraries together. How do you think they feel?

      Fireworks

      By Penguin68 · Posted

      Sadly, but not unreasonably, councils find it difficult to justify such expenditure on their current budgets. My family, which does like fireworks have been enjoying the displays by those still with disposable wealth by viewing them from Hilly Fields. Other hills (Dawson Heights) are available. For children who have autumn and winter birthdays, a firework display is some consolation for their birthday climate. My grandchildren, being summer babies, can enjoy garden parties and picnics. Without the need for explosions and dazzling display.
