Hello everyone ... here are some details of our next two gigs .


Faustus
Friday 24 April 2009 DHFC , Edgar Kail Way , East Dulwich , SE22 8BD , DOORS 7PM

Faustus consists of Saul Rose (Waterson:Carthy), Paul Sartin (Bellowhead) and Benji Kirkpatrick (Seth Lakeman/Bellowhead. Erm, need we say more? We think not, but hey, we will anyway!
This exciting young band consists of three of the most pivotal players in the English roots revival of the past decade. Saul Rose, singer and melodeon player, is best known for his work with the Kings of Calicutt and Waterson Carthy and is considered by many to be the best melodeon player in the country.
Paul Sartin is a hugely versatile and classically trained musician who has played with such varied ensembles as Bellowhead, Belshazzars Feast and the Christchurch Cathedral Choir! As well as vocals, Paul plays fiddle and oboe for both Faustus and the now infamous Bellowhead.
In 2001/03, ace guitarist Benji Kirkpatrick (John's son) was a member of the Oysterband Big Session playing alongside Eliza Carthy, Jim Moray, Rose Kemp, Cara Dillon and Seth Lakeman. He has played with the Mercury-nominated Seth Lakeman on many duo/trio projects and tours and - like Paul - is a member of Bellowhead .

Joe Wilkes
Friday 1st May 2009 - Hooper's Bar , 28 Ivanhoe Road , East Dulwich , SE5 8DH . DOORS 8.30PM


Yet another great Goose night at Hooper's Bar! If you were at the Dick Gaughan gig last November, you will remember Joe as he was one of our brilliant support artists that night.
Joe was long associated with The Spitz venue in East London, where he played with Bert Jansch, Beth Orton and Davy Graham (R.I.P.) amongst others.
His debut album, Spotlight, was released in 2006, and has been described as "a subtle and pastoral acoustic testament at the vanguard of the re-emerging British folk scene" - a far cry from his times at the Twelve Bar Club, when he and his anarcho acoustic band would "cause a mess, with anyone and everyone joining in." !
Last year, Joe toured Europe and the UK, and filmed a TV concert. He has a new album due out in 2009.
You can find out more about Joe from his website

Joe will be doing two sets with an interval between, and the live music will start at 9pm with DJs before and after. Come early for a good spot, and don't forget Hooper's do a great range of ales, plus food, so you can eat and drink well whilst listening to some brilliant music!.
This event is FREE!
