Doors 7PM / Live music from 8PM


Tickets available here http://www.wegottickets.com/thegooseisout

or over the bar at the Ivy House.



Inspired by hearing Big Bill Broonzy and Ramblin? Jack Elliot, Wizz Jones learnt his guitar licks from the likes of Davy Graham and Long John Baldry whilst playing in the coffee bars of London?s Soho in the late 1950?s.


He then followed the time-honoured buskers? trail from the streets of Paris to the markets of Marrakech during the early 1960?s and returned to Britain with a unique acoustic guitar style,

an eclectic repertoire and a ?right hand worthy of Broonzy?!


John Renbourn, Clapton and Keith Richards have all named him as an important early influence and in May 2012 Bruce Springsteen opened his Berlin show with Wizz?s song ?When I Leave Berlin?.

After more than 50 years ?on the road? Wizz continues to tour on the Acoustic Folk and Blues circuit, usually solo but sometimes with his Son Simeon on Sax, Flute and Harmonica.?


City Ramblers Revival are named after the famous late 50?s group the City Ramblers, regulars on BBC Radio and TV?s Six Five Special, and resident band of the Skiffle Cellar, Soho.


They recorded for Tempo Records and Storyville and played at the Moscow International Youth Festival in 1957. Today, CRR are Hylda Sims (guitar/vocals), Simon Prager (guitar/vocals) and Doc Stenson (guitar/mouth harp/vocals).


Hylda Sims, a founder member of the original City Ramblers, writes songs, poetry and novels and hosts Fourth Friday, an acoustic music and poetry event at the Poetry Cafe in Covent Garden.


Simon Prager & Doc Stenson, excellent musicians and entertainers, are veterans of the acoustic blues and folk scene in the UK.


Joe Wilkes is a fantastic singer songwriter whom Americana UK has said is ?one of those all-too-rare musicians who, when they play, make you believe in them instantly.? . Joe has been playing around London , the USA and Europe for a number of years. He lives in south london,

      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.

      Ideas for week night activities for 14 year old boys

      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.

      Plans for 174, Rye lane, Peckham (former Asda site)

      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.
