About the event
JOHN KIRKPATRICK
With support from Lucy & Hazel and Matt Milton.
We are delighted to be able to welcome John Kirkpatrick back to the Goose! John has been a welcome guest at the Goose many times since we began way back in 2008!
Tonight will be the LONDON LAUNCH OF HIS NEW SHOW "200 YEARS OF THE SQUEEZEBOX" !
"Folk music" as we think of it was the popular music of the people when those songs were originally written, and John will be highlighting the hits of the day from the time that squeezeboxes first appeared in the 1820s!
Expect a fantastic variety of tunes and songs ranging way beyond John's usual "folk roots"! They will include themes from the classics, well-loved songs, dance music of all kinds and the occasional lugubrious hymn by way of contrast, all played in John's inimitable style on the Anglo Concertina, the Melodeon and the Button Accordion!

"Lucy & Hazel are surely the queens of the new vibe of British folk to be emerging from the radical activist left. Folk music just got very exciting!" - Sam Lee
Matt Milton sings traditional folk and blues songs, and plays guitar, fiddle and banjo. He has played in many folk clubs all over London, and has supported John Kirkpatrick, Andy Irvine and many other well known figures in the folk world.

Please be aware that whilst our events are held in The Ivy House's beautiful Grade 2 listed ballroom, this is a pub, so there may be some background noise from adjoining bars.
