Nick Dow : The Goose Is Out! The Old Nun's Head,15 Nunhead Green SE15 3QQ, Friday 12 June, 7.45PM/ ?7

Floorspots welcome


Nick Dow has been singing traditional Folk Songs for over Forty years. He has had a big influence on the Folk scene and most recently award winning English Folk Musician Jim Moray has quoted Nick as an influence singing two songs from his repertoire and including one {Seven Long Years} on his latest album ?Skulk?


Nick is an acknowledged expert on West Country Folk Songs and together with his wife Mally ,has collected over 300 songs in Dorset, and also found singers in Lancashire and Essex


He has also made recordings of Gypsy Singers some of which have been included on Topic Records series ?The Voice of the People?


Nick Dow has returned to the Folk Scene after a long absence. He spent several years building up his business of Signwriting and building and restoring Gypsy Wagons.


Nick has lived an amazing life. He has lived on his wits since he left his parents home in East Dulwich at eighteen; travelling half way round the world, living on the road with the Travelling Folk and learning their songs, working as a TV and Film Extra, broadcaster, Narrowboat painter, writer, Folklorist, Guitar Teacher and General Dealer.


Every song Nick sings has a story attached to it, and his gigs are as informative as they are entertaining.


Nick and Mally now live happily in East Lancashire surrounded by Moorland and Fells.



 

Yo KK how're you? - No idea how many people will come along to this - we don't sell advance tickets for the Old Nun's Head gigs - however he was once local, and has said a few of his old friends may well come down, so my advice would be to come along early if you can, ( I don't want that to put you off, if you can only come along later though) ). have you brought the dog before? I can't remember - maybe check with the pub if it's ok - also check with Sue, it's ok with me if you want to bring the dog, but like I say, you might want to check first. :)

    • I have a lovely photo of my son and husband which I would love to have painted as a Christmas gift. Can anyone recommend anyone locally who might do this? Many thanks 
    • Second recommendation for Fiona’s, my dog has been going there for a couple of years and loves it! Great team 
    • I would recommend Fiona's Diggidy Daycare which is in Loughborough Junction but they offer pick up and drop off services when they have capacity.  My dog has been going there for 3 years and loves it. 
    • Ask him politely if you can help him.  I remember staring at my old flat.  Can I help you a neighbour asked.  Yes I said, I had seen that they have split it into two flats. And we had a chat about it.   Edited to add - if they are doing this in plain site then it sounds harmless, but it would be good manners to knock on your door.  In our area there is someone well known on X that walks up and down taking pictures of anything out of the ordinary, often quite trivial, supposedly for laughs.  I could speculate who the owner could be, a creative or a gangster, but that would not be appropriate!
