Nick Dow : The Goose Is Out! The Old Nun's Head,15 Nunhead Green SE15 3QQ, Friday 12 June, 7.45PM/ ?7

Floorspots welcome


Nick Dow has been singing traditional Folk Songs for over Forty years. He has had a big influence on the Folk scene and most recently award winning English Folk Musician Jim Moray has quoted Nick as an influence singing two songs from his repertoire and including one {Seven Long Years} on his latest album ?Skulk?


Nick is an acknowledged expert on West Country Folk Songs and together with his wife Mally ,has collected over 300 songs in Dorset, and also found singers in Lancashire and Essex


He has also made recordings of Gypsy Singers some of which have been included on Topic Records series ?The Voice of the People?


Nick Dow has returned to the Folk Scene after a long absence. He spent several years building up his business of Signwriting and building and restoring Gypsy Wagons.


Nick has lived an amazing life. He has lived on his wits since he left his parents home in East Dulwich at eighteen; travelling half way round the world, living on the road with the Travelling Folk and learning their songs, working as a TV and Film Extra, broadcaster, Narrowboat painter, writer, Folklorist, Guitar Teacher and General Dealer.


Every song Nick sings has a story attached to it, and his gigs are as informative as they are entertaining.


Nick and Mally now live happily in East Lancashire surrounded by Moorland and Fells.



 

Yo KK how're you? - No idea how many people will come along to this - we don't sell advance tickets for the Old Nun's Head gigs - however he was once local, and has said a few of his old friends may well come down, so my advice would be to come along early if you can, ( I don't want that to put you off, if you can only come along later though) ). have you brought the dog before? I can't remember - maybe check with the pub if it's ok - also check with Sue, it's ok with me if you want to bring the dog, but like I say, you might want to check first. :)

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
