Description

We are absolutely delighted to be welcoming Wizz Jones back to the Goose, particularly as this is a very rare gig as Wizz is now mostly retired!

Inspired by hearing Big Bill Broonzy and Ramblin' Jack Elliot, Wizz Jones learnt his guitar licks from the likes of Davy Graham and Long John Baldry whilst playing in the coffee bars of London's Soho in the late 1950's.

He then followed the time-honoured buskers' trail from the streets of Paris to the markets of Marrakech during the early 1960's and returned to Britain with a unique acoustic guitar style, an eclectic repertoire and a 'right hand worthy of Broonzy'.

Wizz is admired and emulated by some of folk and rock's greatest players. On the 1960s club scene, he was an early influence on the likes of Keith Richards, Eric Clapton and Rod Stewart, and Bruce Springsteen is among the artists to have covered Wizz's songs.

At The Ivy House, London?s first community-owned pub.
