Wizz Jones + City Ramblers Revival + Joe Wilkes : The Goose Is Out! The Ivy House, 40 Stuart Road. Friday 29 Jan. Doors open 7PM.


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

or from the Ivy House, or on the door at the gig.



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,

      Is Rachel Reeves becoming the new Liz Truss?

      By Rockets · Posted

      Malumbu, you were saying to posters on here "well where else will the money come from" and this highlights one of the major challenges for Labour. Take the very issue being discussed on health related benefit claims. When you look at the data on what has been happening it really shows what a problem it has become but, of course, a Labour government can't possibly attack that area in the same way they go after others - it's easy for Labour to attack the perceptual cruise-going pensioners, toffs at private school and (with less effectiveness) rich land owning farmers. Liz Kendall was on Laura K on Sunday and you could tell talking about the issue (which the government clearly have to deal with) was really difficult because what they are going to have to do is very un-Labour because the situation is out of control and they have to get on top of it.

      and were people like you worried about "cutting hiring, prices going up and new business not starting" under the last govt or as a result of brexit I don't have labour blinkers - I didn't even vote labour at the election.  But do take a look at the data for that petition - and see how many actually come from UK

      Take your labour blinkers off sir, Businesses are cutting hiring, prices will go up and new businesses won't start all as a result in the NI hike for employers  Talking down the country pre budget also knocked consumer confidence  Tomorrow labour are goung to announce getting young people into education or employment, yet with the above where will those jobs come from ?  The three people who sent the pertition to me are all small business owners who are taking the brunt of the changes introduced in the budget, one is even talking about closing as it impacts margins so heavily.  This is why people are unhappy. Labour hog tied themselves by promising no tax rises on working people and now the economy is suffering.  Take the red pill sir, not the blue one.
