For 15 years Jim Moray has been at the forefront of a new movement in English traditional music. His debut album Sweet England changed the sound of folk song and won a brace of awards for its innovative melding of orchestration and electronica. Subsequent albums embraced everything from grime to Johnny Marr-esque guitar pop, but at their heart was always Jim?s unmistakeable soulful and yearning voice; singing old songs in a new way. His sixth album Upcetera heralds a new chapter for the producer and has received the best reviews of his career, including five stars from Mojo, fRoots and R2 magazines.


His reimagining of English traditional music found him awarded the unprecedented combination of ?Best Newcomer? and ?Best Album? at the 2004 BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards.


We're delighted Jim is returning to play a solo gig at The Goose Is Out!


Counter?s Creek is an acoustic folk trio based in London who make original music inspired by the folk music of the British Isles and beyond. Expect to hear jigs, reels, grooves from Eastern Europe & West Africa, catchy melodies with closely interwoven harmonies allied to a real sense of swing and dance energy.


The Norfolk Broads are a four-piece female ensemble who enjoy singing low-pitched folk songs about love, despair, and dastardly boyfriends.


They bonded over maritime worksongs and failed romances in the alto section of the Trad Academy Sea Shanty Choir, deciding to form a girl-group during a long car ride to Cornwall in 2015. Since then, they have performed their spirited harmonies at festivals and venues in London and further afield, including Wilton?s Music Hall, the Southbank Centre, Folk East Festival and on board the Cutty Sark.


The Broads supply their repertoire of traditional stories with a very contemporary verve and energy, using old songs to fuel new takes on the lives of women both past and present.

    • Found a black umbrella on the 63 bus at Forest Hill Road a couple of days ago in the morning. Thought about keeping it since umbrellas are one of the most common lost items on public transport and no one bothers to collect them. Try lost property Peckham bus garage if it's yours, sorry no picture. No idea if they charge a collection fee. I know the days of drivers being rewarded for claimed lost property like the old days are long gone.
    • this is jokes -  I walked through Dulwich park and there were loads of people there and actually the skate park is reasonably illuminated by the street lights.  I was stating a tiny fact about a sliver of time not making a statement on the 'youth of today'    
    • The sun set at 5.37pm yesterday and it was 7⁰ at that time, according to the Met Office. The skate park is, obviously, unlit. Kids these days can't win. They get off their arse and make use of a derelict car park, and it gets called a haven for underage drink and drugs. They use the skate park and people complain it's noisy; they don't use it because it's dark and cold and people complain about that too! If they were out there bundled up against the cold yesterday, we'd probably hear moaning about "hoodie ruffians wearing masks..."
