Thomas McCarthy + Local Traditional Singers : The Goose Is Out! The Ivy House, 40 Stuart Road. London SE15 3BE.


Friday 25 November.


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


Thomas McCarthy has been absolutely brilliant every time we have seen him sing, including every time he has been to the Goose, so we don?t expect this concert to be any different!


Thomas is a singer from an Irish Traveller family in Birr, County Offaly. From a considerable dynasty of traditional singers, song-makers and musicians, Thomas grew up surrounded by the singing of his late mother, her father and aunts and uncles and now lives in London.


Having spent his life learning the songs of his family, in 2008 Thomas sang publicly for the first time at the folk club at London?s Cecil Sharp House. By the following year, he had sung at the most prominent folk festivals and clubs in Ireland and England, appeared on BBC Radio, and has since shared a stage with many well known performers including Lou Killen and The Copper Family and has won the praises of many other respected musicians besides.


"The greatest Irish traditional singer in fifty years" ? Joe Power, Conneries? Singing Club, Waterford


Support tonight will be from a variety of local traditional singers. Regulars of both our Club nights and Singarounds.


This will be a great night, Don?t miss this!

    • my sons (age 13) red and black collective mountain bike was stolen from Kingsdale school today from the school grounds. Reported to police. If found please reach out many thanks 
    • Yep, his manifesto didn't say anything about removing the winter fuel allowance, or that they'd increase employers NI insurance contributions, or that they'd increase inflation, or they'd create a situation whereby employers are reducing their headcounts and not recruiting staff because of the economics they have created, what happened to we'll reduce energy costs by £300 per household, or that they'd increase Inheritance tax on farmers. Its more about what they didn't say they'd do rather than what they said they would do.  They were not open or transparent about what they'd do once in power.  They fooled the electorate, in five years time this country will be bankrupt.  Because so many people are signing the petition asking for a new election, that is because people are fed up with what the Govt are doing to its citizens, including taking away the freedom of speech. 
    • Yep, lots of "we fully appreciate, while we appreciate, we also understand and we understand", no bark and no bite, she's rolled over like a puppy. We stand no chance with someone who manages to say something that actually says nothing.
