Subject: MAWKIN:CAUSLEY From: GUEST,Mr McShamless Self Promoter Date: 03 Oct 07 - 12:58 PM Just thought I'd inform you all about a new collaboration that is touring this month. Those wicked Essex rascals, Mawkin, have joined forces with the honey-voiced Jim Causley to form one hell of a boyband! One of the best instrumental outfits to emerge in recent years, Mawkin have a string of festival and concert apperances under their belt. Bringing Jim Causley on board is a master stroke, as his gorgeous baritone voice is the perfect foil for their cleverly textured tunes and energetic performances. A unique collaboration not to be missed. 19th - Acton Village Hall, Acton Lane, Acton, Suffolk Doors: 7:30pm Tickets: £10/£6 TEL: 01787 310466 sudburymusiccollective2@hotmail.co.uk 20th - The Mart Theatre, Craven College, The High St, Skipton, BD231UD Doors: 7:30pm Tickets: £14/£12 SUPPORT FOR ELIZA CARTHY 01756 791411 21st - Walthamstow Folk Club, The Plough Inn, London E17 Doors: 7:30pm Tickers: £7/£6 TEL: 07740 612 607 http://www.walthamstowfolk.co.uk/ 22nd - Holywell Music Room, Holywell Street, Oxford, OX1 3SB Doors: 8:00pm Tickets: £7.50/£5 TEL: 07751702978 http://www.wegottickets.com/event/21113 http://www.wegottickets.com/event/21114 25th - The Green Note Club, 106 Parkway, London, NW1 7AN Doors: 7:00pm Tickets: £7 TEL: 020 7485 9899 http://www.wegottickets.com/event/20064 26th - The Brew Town Club, The Star and Garter, Grange Street, Burton upon Trent Doors: 8:30pm Tickets: £6 TEL: 01283 760575 http://members.aol.com/brewtownfolkclub/ 27th - Derby Assembly Rooms, Market Place, Derby, DE1 3AH Doors: 12pm Tickets: £24 (2 Day Festival) TEL: 01332 255 800 http://www.assemblyrooms-derby.co.uk/WhatsOn/Shows/071026folkfestival.htm 28th - The Ship, Leigh on Sea, Essex, SS9 2EA Doors: 7:30pm Tickets: £7.50 TEL: 01702 715111 http://www.ridgeweb.co.uk/hoy.htm Give them a try! |
Subject: RE: MAWKIN:CAUSLEY From: Ruth Archer Date: 03 Oct 07 - 01:03 PM Why, what a finely crafted bit of promotional writing! I think you should get whoever wrote it to do all your PR... |
Subject: RE: Mawkin:Causley From: GUEST,Dave of Mawkin Date: 03 Oct 07 - 01:43 PM I agree with Ruth, a beautiful piece of literature! I think I've seen it before somewhere though... |
Subject: RE: Mawkin:Causley From: Ruth Archer Date: 03 Oct 07 - 02:53 PM Genius steals, mate... |
Subject: RE: Mawkin:Causley From: Herga Kitty Date: 03 Oct 07 - 03:26 PM Mawkin:Causley are also appearing at the Haddenham festival on 1 December - looking forward to it! Kitty PS That's the Buckinghamshire Haddenham, not the Cambridgeshire one! |
Subject: RE: Mawkin:Causley - schedule of performances From: GUEST,Mr. Norrell Date: 03 Oct 07 - 05:47 PM Ahhh...I see young Master James has been here and left his calling card....nice one son! :-D |
Subject: RE: Mawkin:Causley - schedule of performances From: Pete_Standing Date: 04 Oct 07 - 05:47 AM Can't stand boybands. Hate young musicians. Not going unless hot cocoa is being served. |
Subject: RE: Mawkin:Causley - schedule of performances From: GUEST,Mr Hot Chocolate Date: 04 Oct 07 - 07:18 AM Bring a flask you old git. |
Subject: RE: Mawkin:Causley - schedule of performances From: Pete_Standing Date: 04 Oct 07 - 07:19 AM OK Dave. |
Subject: RE: Mawkin:Causley - schedule of performances From: IrvineJ Date: 04 Oct 07 - 07:43 AM could anyone tell me if their performance at Aylesbury Music Centre on Saturday will be as Mawkin:Causley or as Mawkin? the gossip on the vine was that Jim would be joining them.. i really cant wait for this collaboration to start performing! i'm going to The Green Note Club, Camden. |
Subject: RE: Mawkin:Causley - schedule of performances From: GUEST,Old Git with hot chocolate in a flask Date: 04 Oct 07 - 11:22 AM right I will...I'm sure the lads won't mind *LOL* |
Subject: RE: Mawkin:Causley - schedule of performances From: Ruth Archer Date: 04 Oct 07 - 11:53 AM I expect Jim Causley is very fond of hot chocolate. Probably with extra marshmallows. |
Subject: RE: Mawkin:Causley - schedule of performances From: GUEST,Old Git with hot chocolate in a flask Date: 04 Oct 07 - 12:10 PM right I'll make sure I put an exrra packet in me knapsack.. :-D |
Subject: RE: Mawkin:Causley - schedule of performances From: GUEST,Mr. Norrell Date: 04 Oct 07 - 01:19 PM the rest of the line up at The Derby Traditional Music & Arts Festival 2007 isn't too shabby either, looks like I'll be going :-) |
Subject: RE: Mawkin:Causley - schedule of performances From: IrvineJ Date: 05 Oct 07 - 09:21 AM Jackpot! I've just found their myspace! If you want to hear what they sound like they've got 3 songs up there! http://www.myspace.com/mawkincausley You can download them too! :-) |
Subject: RE: Mawkin:Causley - schedule of performances From: GUEST,Mr. Norrell Date: 05 Oct 07 - 11:15 AM In the words of my esteemed colleague, Mr. Jonathan Strange, Mawkin : Causley are magical ;-) |
Subject: RE: Mawkin:Causley - schedule of performances From: Jonathan Strange Date: 05 Oct 07 - 01:26 PM Folk off Mr. Norrell :-) |
Subject: RE: Mawkin:Causley - schedule of performances From: Herga Kitty Date: 05 Oct 07 - 02:55 PM Thanks for the Myspace link - the boyband sound great! Hotter than cocoa, anyway... Kitty |
Subject: RE: Mawkin:Causley - schedule of performances From: GUEST,Brian Date: 06 Oct 07 - 11:31 AM Fantastic caught Mawkin at Sidmouth when Jim joined the lads on stage for a couple, just visited there myspace page and had a listen can't wait to see them again Might try to get to Hollywell if I can get a ticket!! |
Subject: RE: Mawkin:Causley - schedule of performances From: GUEST,Speaker Date: 08 Oct 07 - 10:21 AM i think he'd prefer a mocha |
Subject: RE: Mawkin:Causley - schedule of performances From: GUEST Date: 09 Oct 07 - 04:38 AM How 'bout a hechla? |
Subject: RE: Mawkin:Causley - schedule of performances From: IrvineJ Date: 15 Oct 07 - 07:25 AM Just thought I should re-surface this page, the tour starts this friday. Any mudcatters out there who will be going to any of the gigs? |
Subject: RE: Mawkin:Causley - schedule of performances From: Pete_Standing Date: 15 Oct 07 - 09:19 AM Nope. There is a ban on taking drinks (including my favoured flask of cocoa) into the Holywell Music Room - unless of course, the band has some cocoa and digestives in the green room and they invite me in - they could do with some help tuning their guitars anyway. Is there a concession for old gits, like cheaper tickets and finishing early. |
Subject: RE: Mawkin:Causley - schedule of performances From: Mrs_Annie Date: 15 Oct 07 - 09:49 AM Well we are going to attempt to find Acton in the wilds of Suffolk - wish us luck. |
Subject: RE: Mawkin:Causley - schedule of performances From: Pete_Standing Date: 15 Oct 07 - 10:54 AM That'll be a problem. I thought that was handled by First Great Western out of Paddington. |
Subject: RE: Mawkin:Causley - schedule of performances From: Giant Folk Eyeball (inactive) Date: 15 Oct 07 - 06:20 PM Hope they get somewhere vaguely near Manchester... |
Subject: RE: Mawkin:Causley - schedule of performances From: Ruth Archer Date: 15 Oct 07 - 06:29 PM Not on this tour, but I look forward to seeing them at Loughborough Folk Festival in March! |
Subject: RE: Mawkin:Causley - schedule of performances From: GUEST,Dave of Mawkin Date: 15 Oct 07 - 09:32 PM Hi Pete, I dont know about the rules in the Holywell, but there are some nice pubs not too far from the venue. We might be able to sort out refreshments, I'll ask a few people. Regarding tickets, concessions are £5 for anyone who is an old/disabled/child/student person.They can be bought here- http://www.wegottickets.com/event/21114 I would advise anyone who is going to get them now, as tickets are selling well, and on the door they will be £10. The north gigs were playing are Skipton, N Yorkshire...Derby Assembly Rooms...and Burton upon trent- Brewtown folk club. I hope to see some friendly faces, all the best Dave |
Subject: RE: Mawkin:Causley - schedule of performances From: GUEST,Last chance to buy advance tickets..

Subject: RE: Mawkin:Causley - schedule of performances From: Giant Folk Eyeball (inactive) Date: 21 Oct 07 - 06:59 PM Grrr. You lot never come to Manchester. Anyone out there run a short course in how to promote gigs without ending up skint? Cheers Nigel |
Subject: RE: Mawkin:Causley - schedule of performances From: The Borchester Echo Date: 21 Oct 07 - 07:17 PM Nigel, you should have made the short leap across the Pennines to Skipton last night where they did a gig in a cattle market. I'm just in from seeing them at the Plough where I was genuinely stunned by the complexity, innate appropriateness and beauty of the arrangements behind Jim's glorious voice. I hadn't seen either the band or Mr C for several months . . . and how they have worked on their set. Their collective stage presentation has come on in leaps and bounds and the empathy between Alex Goldsmith's melodeon and Jamie Delarre's fiddle is just achingly glorious. Wood/Cutting-like though that's not in any way to suggest it's copyist. Yes, promote a tour and publicise it well. You won't end up skint. (Or if you do, you won't care). |
Subject: RE: Mawkin:Causley - schedule of performances From: Giant Folk Eyeball (inactive) Date: 21 Oct 07 - 08:17 PM You're right, Diane, Skipton's not that far. Sadly I was visiting the in laws in Cambridge. Ho hum, better luck next time! Inciently, don't you just love these young traditional musicians for whom 'professional' isn't a dirty word? Cheers Nigel |
Subject: RE: Mawkin:Causley - schedule of performances From: The Borchester Echo Date: 22 Oct 07 - 08:23 AM Just one reason why you should all flock to the remaining dates on this tour: Dave Delarre performing Eric Roche's Roundabout on YouTube. |
Subject: RE: Mawkin:Causley - schedule of performances From: Mrs_Annie Date: 23 Oct 07 - 04:11 AM He didn't do that on Friday, he said YouTube is now full of other people doing it! "you should all flock to the remaining dates on this tour" yes you should, I am scheming to see if I can get to another one. |
Subject: RE: Mawkin:Causley - schedule of performances From: Pete_Standing Date: 23 Oct 07 - 07:53 AM Saw 'em last night at Oxford and it was a very nice evening culminating with a session at the Half Moon. Rather than clog up the disks here, I have been coerced into writing a report over at TalkAwhile. Give the lads your support, they deserve it and you can say you saw them on the way up - the turn out last night was disappointing. |
Subject: RE: Mawkin:Causley - schedule of performances From: Alio Date: 23 Oct 07 - 02:15 PM And the band are headlining at Saddleworth next year on the Friday night (July 18th) - I played a track from their demo CD on the radio last night, and they sounded brill! Ali x |
Subject: RE: Mawkin:Causley - schedule of performances From: Giant Folk Eyeball (inactive) Date: 23 Oct 07 - 02:46 PM Yaay! That's nearly Manchester. Bugger! That's nearly a year away... Cheers Nigel |
Subject: RE: Mawkin:Causley - schedule of performances From: GUEST,StephenW Date: 24 Oct 07 - 07:06 AM Nigel, You should get down to Derby on Saturday. I'm in your neck of the woods and, hopefully, shall be going down by train, it's not that far. When you live in Manchester you have to do a bit of travelling to get to rootsy-type gigs 'cos there's not much in the city centre... Stephen |
