15 Mar 09 - 08:42 AM (#2589257) Subject: RE: Mawkin:Causley Touring! From: Rasener I was going to put the Froots picture on the poster for Faldingworth, but thought that people might think it was a strip night, not a folk night :-) |

15 Mar 09 - 05:00 PM (#2589577) Subject: RE: Mawkin:Causley Touring! From: Jane Bird Many in the M:C audience will be v disappointed that your fRoots cover shot will be representative of your stage presence (others may be quite relieved, though). I thought the M:C fRoots cover was hillarious, by the way. Cheers, Jane PS There's a chance to dance to Mawkin (without Mr Causley) on 11th April at Oxfolk: Kennington near Oxford - www.oxfolk.org.uk |

06 Apr 09 - 04:45 AM (#2605480) Subject: RE: Mawkin:Causley Touring! From: Shaw Farmer Great show at Bridgwater Arts Centre, the new songs are fantastic. Drummer Boy from Waterloo being a particular stand-out track for me (at one point the band create the soundscape of a lonely drummers march through a battlefield of cannons, machineguns and all things scary!) Cannot reccomend it enough, everyone should go and see them. |
06 Apr 09 - 12:16 PM (#2605689) Subject: RE: Mawkin:Causley Touring! From: nickp It was indeed Shaw, I enjoyed it very much. Were you around afterwards for Jim C's rendition of the Lollipop Man in the foyer? Not for the easily offended - well, perfectly innocent lyrics, it just depends on the way your mind works... Hee Hee!! |
07 Apr 09 - 06:17 AM (#2606322) Subject: RE: Mawkin:Causley Touring! From: Shaw Farmer I'm very sadened to say I missed that rendition! I do have it on CD though and it is jolly good. |

Such a great show. They played pretty much everything they've done together and they really got the place buzzing. A wonderful night. I'm very tempted to make it 3 gigs in 3 days and come down for Cambridge! Watched the gorgeous Benji last night at the Stables.. Kxx |

23 Apr 09 - 02:34 PM (#2617144) Subject: RE: Mawkin:Causley Touring! From: glueman Fair nuff. Just a big bit of the populated north missing, moan, whinge, gripe. Last year they were near enough not to bother getting the car out, and very splendid they were turning all my reservations about Essex to cinders in one swoopy fell. |

08 May 09 - 02:33 PM (#2627240) Subject: RE: Mawkin:Causley Touring! From: mandotim A quick review; we went to see the boys last night in Leek, North Staffs. It's clear that the extended tour is having an effect; they looked road-weary, but played with tremendous energy, and better and tighter than I've ever seen them. The set was the usual eclectic blend of songs and tunes, including songs in Spanish, Old English and Welsh, plus some mindbending playing on tunes from England and all parts. Jim Causley's voice was in fine fettle, and he was as charming as ever on stage. The new CD is out, and it's a real eye-opener, with some unexpected rhythms and influences crossing paths with some very ancient tunes and lyrics. If you haven't seen/booked these guys yet, go out of your way to do so. They are fresh, exciting and brilliantly musical, and my wife (who is a better judge than me on these things) says 'they're cute!'. Tim (No financial interest, wish I had) |
09 May 09 - 09:27 AM (#2627659) Subject: RE: Mawkin:Causley Touring! From: Shaw Farmer Could not agree more Tim, they were fantastic, it was by complete fluke that I ended up seeing them again, on holiday in Buxton visiting friends and I ended up stumbling across a leaflet for the gig! |
15 May 09 - 05:23 PM (#2632844) Subject: RE: Mawkin:Causley Touring! From: Matthew Edwards Just been listening to 'The Awkward Recruit' CD and really enjoyed it; some great songs sung and played with real passion, and performed with wit and style and genuine inventiveness which seems to be well rooted in an honest love of tradition. It seems the title track was discovered by fiddler James by Google-Whacking (please don't explain this) - which means he surely must have found it on this thread about Muddley Barracks on Mudcat. However this is not the only song in the world with a 'mawkin' reference; may I suggest the Ode to Spring by Robert Burns as a potential addition to the Mawkin:Causley repertoire? I saw the band at Southport in February this year, and thought they were really exciting - and the CD definitely confirms that impression. Matthew Edwards |
