Robin Gillan : The Old Nun's Head, Friday Oct 9, 7.45 pm - 11.00pm.


?7 on the door. Floorspots Welcome.


We are really delighted to be welcoming Robin Gillan back to the Goose ? it?s been far too long!


Robin is an accomplished mult-instrumentalist and singer, known for his emotive and authentic playing of old-time American and British traditional music.


His music reflects timeless old field recordings of the 1950s, 60s and 70s, & early 1920s commercial country recordings from the USA and British Isles.


Robin started playing folk guitar at the age of 8, and had an immediate aptitude and love for the music. Also it could be learned by ear, Robin plays fiddle, 5 string (banjo), squeeze box, mouth organ and voice. He has appeared at many folk clubs , festivals and concerts over the years, and has recently worked with Tom Paley on Toms' Old Time Moonshine Revue.

    • I completely agree with you . Its as if they have their foot in the door and are just pushing and pushing. It's ridiculous. It's not the right space. they clearly do not give any regard to the environment or they would move it.  
    • There's a great badminton club at the Harris girls academy. It runs Friday from 5.30 to 6.45. for more experienced players, they have sessions on Wednesday and Friday, too but that's subject to skill levels 
    • There seem to be all sorts of blocks for this event being mounted on the Common, one is that it was 'designed especially' for the current site, though the organisers seem to have had absolutely no problem rejigging their plans to the original site footprint to expand the event to what we had last year- which I think really imposed on a large part of the park and spoilt the feel. I would suggest pressing very hard for relocation to the Common ( also closer to transport links). There must be a way, surely? If not, then wholesale relocation to a more suitable venue. I just do not think the park should be subjected to a festival-goer footfall of 60,000 plus over the summer.
    • I absolutely will. Fed up of property developments that are funded from offshore investors and price out local people. Fed up of the demise of social rents and the growing crisis of families in bed and breakfast. Fed up of young people being unable to save deposits, start families and generally have the same security of tenure that previous generations had. So yes, I will drill down into the financing, affordability, where the properties aer being advertised for sale, and how many are genuinely for social rent. Otherwise, no opposition to redeveloping that site in that way.
