ALASDAIR ROBERTS @ The Goose Is Out . Friday 30th October @ DHFC , EDGAR KAIL WAY , EAST DULWICH London SE22 8BD . Doors 7PM .

Tickets available in advance from WeGotTickets . visit http://www.thegooseisout.com and go to the tickets page .

Alasdair is one of those singers who just could not possibly be mistaken for anybody else, having his own very individual style. We are thrilled to have Alasdair back at the Goose after his last sell out performance .

Based in Scotland, he released his first solo album of traditional songs, "The Crook of my Arm", in 2001. His second album "Farewell Sorrow" was one of the Observer's top albums of the year (note - that's top albums, not top folk albums!) and consists of beautiful self-written songs which are totally personal yet clearly influenced by the folk tradition.

Alasdair's next album, "No Earthly Man", was a collection of traditional British ballads and his fourth, "The Amber Gatherers" was released in 2007.

fRoots said of his latest album, released earlier this year: "Spoils is back to his unyieldingly scary best… it is a beautiful, disquieting, comic, twisted, bizarre, riveting masterpiece."

support will be from the very excellent Spoono and also Susan Wheeler

Her's a little biog material about our support acts for the Alasdair gig

Susan Wheeler

Susan lives with her family in South West London and her songs are inspired by her love of country music, her Irish roots, and her hopes for her two sons, Lucian and Ryan.

In 2008 Susan went into the studio for the first time and recorded her 5-track EP "Dream Home".


Spoono

Spoono supported Martin Carthy at the Goose last year. With apologies to the others, Spoono was probably the most brilliant local guitarist we've ever had at the Goose, and held the audience spellbound despite saying hardly a word throughout!
