Dave Swarbrick
Swarb was the very first artist to appear at the Goose Is Out!, over two years ago now, and our opening night was extraordinary! This will now be his third time at the Goose.

The finest fiddler and mandolinist, ex Fairport Convention, and loved the world over for his work both solo and as part of a duo with Martin Carthy. Tonight Dave appears with Goose regular and favourite Jake Wilson on acoustic guitar and Kate Riaz on cello

Brona McVitie
County Down singer and harper, Brona was brought up in Rostrevor, where the mountains of Mourne sweep down to the sea. She is the founder of Rún a London-based group which evolved out of Brona's interest in old Celtic songs and the folklore of her homeland. With a Diploma in Musical Techniques and Composition from London's Birkbeck, Brona creates close harmony arrangements of what would traditionally be performed 'Sean nós' (the old way).

Brona is also singer and harper for The London Lasses and Pete Quinn, and more recently Legend.

She has twice appeared at the Goose in a previous incarnation with Tanya Jackson as The Woodlarks and tonight we are delighted to have her perform a rare solo gig for the Goose.

Dan Sumner
Not many musicians include an Oatcake recipe with their CDs, but Kent singer/songwriter Dan Sumner appears to come from a different age. He grew up listening to his Dad's record collection, falling in love with John Martyn and Richard Thompson records.

He picked up the guitar at the age of 11, and went on to hone a unique style, fusing his folk roots with elements of blues, rock and jazz into crafted arrangements. After a couple of years cutting his teeth on the London Folk scene, he moved to the south of Spain in search of brighter skies, but moved back a couple of years later with a new found lust for music.

Dan's new EP 'The way we did' is on sale now from iTunes and Amazon MP3. CDs sold at gigs and the Union Store, Lewes.
