Jack Harris: The Goose Is Out! The Old Nun's Head, 15 Nunhead Green SE15 3QQ, Friday 8 May.

7.45/ ?7. Floorspots welcome.



The Goose has (have?) admired Jack Harris for a long time as a fantastic singer and songwriter, and we thought it was about time we gave him a headlining gig!


Jack was the first international (ie non-American) artist to win the New Folk songwriting competition at the Kerrville Folk Festival, Texas. Previous winners include Steve Earle, Lyle Lovett, Gillian Welch and Devon Sproule.


Jack has gigged frequently in the UK, USA and Europe, both as a support act and headline performer. He has made several appearances at The Green Man Festival, and opened for some of folk music?s biggest names, including Dick Gaughan, Martin Carthy and Dave Swarbrick, as well as contemporary songwriters like Anais Mitchell and Jeffrey Foucault.


Jack?s live show is a riveting mix of song-craft and story-telling, adorned by intricate fingerstyle guitar and smoky, soulful vocals. Drawing from the narrative traditions of folk and blues music, Jack brings both into the here and now; a ?born poet?, whose songs are steeped in myth and mystery.



?Jack Harris is a priest of song who holds himself to a rigorous, ancient code of beauty most of us have forgotten exists.?? Ana?s Mitchell

    • Lets hope the poor lad is recovering well and these filthy violent robbers get some deserved justice sent their way sometime soon.
    • Your defence of your use of language reminds me of Johnson after England 'fans' caused trouble before, during and after the Euro 2020 final.  How ever much you loath the bloke, you have to recognise that he is a highly articulate person. Yet he descended to the language of the gutter by saying that "this lowlife should crawl under the rock they came from".  Rather than deploring their actions and saying that this behaviour did not represent what was expected in this country,  Starmer would have gone further and put them all in prison.  Thats an aside. Thanks Sue for your comment. 
    • I was just trying to understand why my albeit strident description of such vile attackers, as fully described, should merit watering down. This attack wasnt, clearly in my view, some cry for help by a suppressed minority,which might be in some way excusable. It was vile and the perpetrators vile. To call my comment 'reactionary' is simply weird. 
    • I don't think this serious and worrying thread is the place to have a go at cyclists who post elsewhere  on this forum.
