Venue: Hoopers Bar 28 Ivanhoe Road . London SE5 . 8.30PM FREE ! Friday 27th November. After Wizz and Simeon's excellent evening at Hooper's last year - the place was rammed - we are delighted to be welcoming them both back! If you need some blurb, here it is, but trust us, just come down - and it's FREE!! There are few artists with more claim to being a 'musician's musician' than Wizz Jones. Inspired by Big Bill Broonzy, Rambling Jack Elliot, Alexis Korner and Ewan MacColl, learning his craft from the likes of Davy Graham and Long John Baldry in the coffee bars of London's Soho during the late fifties, busking through Europe with Rod Stewart and cited by John Renbourn and Eric Clapton as an important early influence. With his unique acoustic guitar style, an eclectic repertoire and a 'right hand worthy of Broonzy' Wizz continues to tour on the acoustic folk and blues circuit - usually solo but sometimes (as tonight) together with son Simeon on Sax, Flute and Harmonica. See you there. -------------------- The Goose Is Out! Folk returns to East Dulwich - but not as you knew it ..... http://www.thegooseisout.com
