Jack Harris: The Goose Is Out! The Old Nun's Head, 15 Nunhead Green SE15 3QQ, Friday 8 May.

7.45/ ?7. Floorspots welcome.



The Goose has (have?) admired Jack Harris for a long time as a fantastic singer and songwriter, and we thought it was about time we gave him a headlining gig!


Jack was the first international (ie non-American) artist to win the New Folk songwriting competition at the Kerrville Folk Festival, Texas. Previous winners include Steve Earle, Lyle Lovett, Gillian Welch and Devon Sproule.


Jack has gigged frequently in the UK, USA and Europe, both as a support act and headline performer. He has made several appearances at The Green Man Festival, and opened for some of folk music?s biggest names, including Dick Gaughan, Martin Carthy and Dave Swarbrick, as well as contemporary songwriters like Anais Mitchell and Jeffrey Foucault.


Jack?s live show is a riveting mix of song-craft and story-telling, adorned by intricate fingerstyle guitar and smoky, soulful vocals. Drawing from the narrative traditions of folk and blues music, Jack brings both into the here and now; a ?born poet?, whose songs are steeped in myth and mystery.



?Jack Harris is a priest of song who holds himself to a rigorous, ancient code of beauty most of us have forgotten exists.?? Ana?s Mitchell

      Whilst clearly 'a crime', I don't think this necessarily sits with the other things you have described. A tragic and awful incident certainly, and dreadfully traumatic to the victim, but not part of any 'crime wave' as such, I suspect. It's the sort of thing which, sadly, can happen anywhere (I, again, suspect).

      Wanted - pasting table

      By Sue · Posted

      Does anybody have a folding pasting table they no longer need? All the ones I've found online seem to have terrible reviews, mainly due to being unstable,  or else coming apart! I don't mind if it's grubby, I just want it to gesso wallpaper lining paper, for art not walls!

      Massive thank you to Stephen. Painted our whole house - and got lots of other bits sorted, too. Nothing was too much trouble, everything looks great and all came in on quote. Fantastic. Liverpool fan, but don’t hold that against him. Will 100% use again.

      We worked with Eliot recently to get two sets of shelves built. He was excellent! Really high quality craftsmanship, communicative and lovely - I’d recommend Langley Carpentry in a heartbeat.
