The Oxfordshire Medly

Hello Lovely People

As always, we're being a bit rubbish at updating the site but we've been knuckling down on the show and Richard has been getting muddy and jiggly at the Secret Garden Party.

We're really excited about our Camden Fringe show - DON'T FORGET YOU CAN BUY TICKETS BY CLICKING HERE ON THE CAPITALS

But, we have several gigs happening really soon in Oxfordshire and they all promise to be very exciting

1) NASIO TRUST FUNDRAISER - Saturday 28th July

We will be doing a show in Abingdon - doing some of our Fringe show most probably and tossing a bit of mayhem your way

2) CHARLBURY RIVERSIDE FESTIVAL - Sunday 29th July

After being delayed by weather, we're excited to be playing at Charlbury festival alongside loads of other brilliant artists. We've been given free range on our set so expect chaos, nonsense and bourbon biscuits - and it is FREE, which is the best price

Get the deets right here

3) (I KNOW IT SMELLS LIKE THE INSIDE OF DEAD PEOPLE BUT....) WILL YOU HOLD MY HAND - WANTAGE PREVIEW - Sunday 5th August

The big one for us - we'll be performing our show in the friendly confines of the Swan at 6pm on Sunday 5th. It'll be lovely. Grab a beer, and enjoy us telling you a little bit about one of surgery's greats.

And its only £2 to get in. Which is alright innit.

There is a facebook page too

A little Update

Hi Goslings!

We're still around.... Everything is a little bit quiet as we continue to knuckle down for  August - but we're delighted to say that the show is written!! Now it is just a case of tweaking and refining and before long we'll be educating you with our knowledge of history and surgery and toe-tapping tunes!

Very excited to be playing Brain Child this Sunday (to give Timothy the chance to fight Zombies on Saturday... he's bouncing around the Goose Nest like an over excited child).

We've checked the schedule and it appears that we're the final act on the Forum stage (which surely makes us HEADLINERS) at 4:30pm Sunday. Very exciting indeed.

Keep an eye out on the gigs on the side and do come and see us.

When Timothy Goose was a younger man he was very much into the Ska Punk scene. It fitted his 'Wear A Suit To A Gig' mentality.

He also explored all the artists who were tangentially linked to this scene. One of which was MC Lars. He is a rappist, but one who raps about Orange County Ska Punk stuff (which is all very silly)

Here is a video of MC Lars (which also talks about several more of Timothy's musical loves of yore)

So.... Imagine our delight when we told....

WE'RE ONLY BLOODY PLAYING WITH HIM

Yes!!! This Saturday there'll be a tremendous all day event in Oxford at the Port Mahon pub. Its dirt cheap for the fact you're getting a whole flipping day of chuffing awesome bands.

Click on the poster and get a ticket and come and play!!!

Busy Writing... and posing

Hi Guys - We're still here. We're still around.

May is being a deliberately quiet month so we can do some writing and whack out some new songs and new funny things.

BUT - We've been posing a lot in photos and videos and all sorts. 

So expect new We Are Goose Visual treats VERY SOON 

Love you lots

Timothy Goose xxxx

Mr B The Gentleman Rhymer!

We Are Goose are very excited to announce that we will be supporting one of Timothy Goose's musical heroes and stylistic icons. 

Mr B is one of the leading movers and shakers in the Chap Hop Oeuvre - reuniting hip hop with the Queen's English. If you've never heard of him why don't you quickly dash off to YouTube and check out his fine wares:

A splendid performer - these shows will also bring about another monumental event:

We Are Goose's FIRST EVER Brighton Gig!

Yes! Despite Timothy Goose living in Brighton, we have never performed there. So it is high time we sorted this ridiculous travesty out.

So, where can you see us?

April 25th - The Square, Harlow

April 26th - Jive Monkey Theatre Bar, Brighton

So get on it! It proves to be some of our biggest ever gigs.

[wearegoose]

A shiny new festival has appeared in London - run by super lovely people with music selected by our friends over at Crack in the Road.

We will be pretending to be cool amongst all these excellent bands. 

Come and support a new festival. For cheap as chips prices. 

Anyway - it'll be bloody brilliant. Click on the logo and check out the details!

What a pretty pinky box on the left

Despite writing a song which contains an entire verse about how we are not on Twitter…

WE ARE NOW ON TWITTER

So you can follow us for musings, gigs, drunken declarations of our love to you and pictures of Richard in various brightly coloured trousers

[wearegoose]

Oh yes!

Here we are performing The Complete Works of Shakespeare.

Watch this for two classic Timothy Goose highlights as he dances like a fat buffoon and almost breaks the stage and as he falls over after an exuberant leap and gets the biggest laugh of the set

Thank you Robin and Partridge for the lovely night

Bloody Flipping Good Pencilling

Our friend Laura Drake Chambers is a wonderful artist and a lovely person and has drawn us this beautiful Goose in dashing finery.

We whole heartedly approve of this type of thing

Goose meets Swan

Those of you who are in the Oxfordshire area may like to know that we're using this rare opportunity to do a gig back home. At Wantage's very own aptly named pub - The Swan

Yes - for once we'll be leaving the smog of London gigging to go and confuse some country types at an open mic and to test out a new song.

Prepare for a battle of aquatic birds

YOU'D BE MA(llar)D to miss it.

Come and see us THIS VERY EVENING.

[wearegoose]

We Are Back Back Back!

We are excited to bring our band information kicking and screaming into 2012. We're here! We're actually eventually here.

On the cards in the next few weeks and months are:

New Songs

New Videos

New Gigs

Big Shows

Its going to be a wild ride people

Conquering New Years Eve

We Are Goose at Royal Festival Hall - Sabrina Dallot-Seguro

Hello!! The website has been neglected but the gang has been busy.

We were honoured to be asked by the fabulous Miss Gabby Young to present the Stand Up Comedy element of the New Years Eve celebrations at Royal Festival Hall. 

Chaos ensued with custard pie fights, baguette based duels, Pirates, magic and a surprisingly high number of onesies. Both mammal and mythical (photos by Gabby Young herself).

Not only was the show a success, but we were also one of the most popular rooms of the house with a constant stream of delighted - and pretty confused - audience members.

Check out how happy they are!

What a happy throng of people.

And so. The thank yous - and a series of links for you to check out and expand your mind.

Thank you to:

Fur Fang Fairy

The London Leisure Pirates

Dave Thorpe

Austentatious

Piff The Magic Dragon

Paul Sweeney

Gerry Howell

Jess Fostekew's 'Hello Lady'

James Ross' 'Sir Horatio St John Jingo'

Also thanks to Bec Hill - for some fabulous animations.

It was all topped off with some of the most spectacular fireworks I've ever seen....
