Subject: MAWKIN - Waltham Abbey Folk Club From: GUEST,Leraud Date: 15 Apr 04 - 01:46 PM Mawkin will be appearing at the Waltham Abbey Folk Club on Monday 19th April. They are an excellent band based in Essex comprising of David and Jamie Delarre and Danny Crump. If you have never come across them before, this is an evening not to be missed. They are talented and enthusiastic and I can't wait to see them again. They are also on at the Oxford Festival this weekend, so should be well 'played in' for the Waltham Abbey Club! Waltham Abbey Folk Club meets every Monday at 8:30 p.m. at the Royal British Legion, Brooker Street, Waltham Abbey, not far from Junction 26 of the M25. For further details contact lynnheraud@yahoo.com Lynne |
Subject: RE: MAWKIN - Waltham Abbey Folk Club From: GUEST,harlowpoet Date: 16 Apr 04 - 08:03 AM I agree with Lynne. Think I saw them last year at Moreton. Very talented young band. Should be a good one. Simon |

Subject: RE: MAWKIN - Waltham Abbey Folk Club From: Lanfranc Date: 17 Apr 04 - 07:18 PM Can't make it this week - running the Compasses session at Littley Green, Felsted (between Great Dunmow and Chelmsford for anyone from Essex or Suffolk who fancies a visit). Waltham Abbey is only just in Essex - postally it's in Enfield! Pity, I'd have liked to have caught up with Mawkin again. I'll be there the following week, though, for reasons that may later become obvious! Alan |
Subject: RE: MAWKIN - Waltham Abbey Folk Club From: Leraud Date: 17 Apr 04 - 08:02 PM Mawkin are a band So I understand Who come from the old Essex Region They're lively and young Full of talent and fun And you can see them at the Legion |

Subject: RE: MAWKIN - Waltham Abbey Folk Club From: breezy Date: 18 Apr 04 - 08:00 AM Lancfranc wont be there So we will have clean air |
Subject: RE: MAWKIN - Waltham Abbey Folk Club From: Kevin Sheils Date: 18 Apr 04 - 09:25 AM My four pounds I'll surely be forkin' For an enjoyable evening with Mawkin But I will need a lift So if Russ gets my drift I'll be there, but I won't if I'm walkin' |
Subject: RE: MAWKIN - Waltham Abbey Folk Club From: GUEST,Leraud Date: 18 Apr 04 - 06:04 PM But a walk is surely good for your health so if Russ can't drive yer Get there yerself. |
Subject: RE: MAWKIN - Waltham Abbey Folk Club From: The Borchester Echo Date: 18 Apr 04 - 06:54 PM Hello Lynne & Harlow Poet Just got back from Oxenford Much too tired to make up rhymes Just been having THE BEST of times. Thank you all for your suggestions But I still have some awkward questions (Oh, I'm getting the hang of this!) Mawkin don't know where you dwell- Have you got a STATION? Please do tell... |
Subject: RE: MAWKIN - Waltham Abbey Folk Club From: Lanfranc Date: 18 Apr 04 - 07:42 PM Me and El Greko Will be taking a decco At clubs (not run by Breezy) Where the smoking is easy I'll keep smoking for some time as I'd like something to get me Before Alzheimer's Waltham Abbey has no station Trains only go to the Cross No rest for a Queen on her last peregrination But Harold, with his hawk, on his hoss. Alan |
Subject: RE: MAWKIN - Waltham Abbey Folk Club From: The Borchester Echo Date: 18 Apr 04 - 07:55 PM 'So will Harold and his hoss Pick me up at the Cross?' Quoth the countess (hopefully) Or what would be better If some young go-getter When Mawkin is over Revs up his Rangerover And drives me all the way home... |
Subject: RE: MAWKIN - Waltham Abbey Folk Club From: Leraud Date: 19 Apr 04 - 04:33 AM I am at work so have no time to sit and write another rhyme If you tell me what time your train will be there I'll pick you up and charge no fare. Seriously, if you want to come tonight, you need the train to Waltham Cross and provided you can get there between 7:45 and 8:00 I'll pick you up. Give me a ring today on 01920 870027 or email me at lynneheraud@yahoo.com |
Subject: RE: MAWKIN - Waltham Abbey Folk Club From: Pete_Standing Date: 19 Apr 04 - 07:22 AM Mawkin I thought they were fawkin good. If I were you, I'd see them I would. At the Oxford Folk Fest They were probably, not quite, at their best Through late night boozin' When they should have been snoozin'. But they are such nice and talented fellas And when you've seen em you'll say, "You didn't need to tell us! They were stormin, they could play, I'd go see 'em again another day!" So go along and have a ball, And if any of you have the gall To say they were not so hot, Well, one man's meat is another's poison, is it not? |
Subject: RE: MAWKIN - Waltham Abbey Folk Club From: The Unicorn Man Date: 19 Apr 04 - 02:14 PM Sounds great, have a nice time and see you soon. From everyone at The Friendly Earth and Fretless Acoustic Club. |
Subject: RE: MAWKIN - Waltham Abbey Folk Club From: Leraud Date: 20 Apr 04 - 04:02 AM Thank you to the Friendly Earth and Fretless Club. We had a fantastic night. Mawkin are highly recommended for all clubs and festivals. Excellent music and humour. Hope you all had a good time as well. |
Subject: RE: MAWKIN - Waltham Abbey Folk Club From: The Borchester Echo Date: 20 Apr 04 - 05:54 AM Great evening at a friendly club and a really storming set from Mawkin that included three broken strings and a Battered Hake. And thanks for the lift there, Lynne, and to Dreadnought for the one back. |
Subject: RE: MAWKIN - Waltham Abbey Folk Club From: Dave of Mawkin Date: 20 Apr 04 - 08:05 AM Dear Poets, Would any of you genius's mind if I steal a few of my favourites and stick it on our website? Were all really chuffed. Thanks for a terrific night Lynne, you have a great atmosphere in the club, we really enjoyed the night too, the floor spots were excellent as well. For those who have never been, try to get to it, its a great night out for all. (especially if you get to see Kevin Shiels sing!) Dave Delarre :) |
Subject: RE: MAWKIN - Waltham Abbey Folk Club From: harlowpoet Date: 20 Apr 04 - 08:29 AM Dave You'd be welcome to use anything I posted. Good luck with the band. You're a talented bunch |
Subject: RE: MAWKIN - Waltham Abbey Folk Club From: Leraud Date: 20 Apr 04 - 08:39 AM Dear Dave Use whatever you like! It was great to see you all again and to meet Alex (I know his name now). Lovely interplay and humour between you all. Lynne |
Subject: RE: MAWKIN - Waltham Abbey Folk Club From: Dave of Mawkin Date: 20 Apr 04 - 08:39 AM Thankyou Harlowpoet, would you be Simon Vogel by any chance? |
Subject: RE: MAWKIN - Waltham Abbey Folk Club From: harlowpoet Date: 20 Apr 04 - 09:07 AM Dave That's what they sometimes call me. |
Subject: RE: MAWKIN - Waltham Abbey Folk Club From: The Unicorn Man Date: 20 Apr 04 - 10:05 AM Hello yes we a great time, Steve Last was on fire, we had a one man mummers play, a bit like the one at Waltham Abbey last week only with just one man playing all the parts. And a chewing gum and sugar experiment. More about that when I next visit. Sounds like you had a great time. I will save up some money, and I might book them next time they are in the area. |
Subject: RE: MAWKIN - Waltham Abbey Folk Club From: Singing Referee Date: 20 Apr 04 - 10:07 AM Before anyone asks; it's OK they've put me out now! |
Subject: RE: MAWKIN - Waltham Abbey Folk Club From: Kevin Sheils Date: 20 Apr 04 - 10:29 AM Dave I'm not averse to you using Any of my verse of your choosing Three w's mawkin Will have everyone talking So I hope no poet is refusing |
Subject: RE: MAWKIN - Waltham Abbey Folk Club From: The Borchester Echo Date: 20 Apr 04 - 12:40 PM Just been on a night out with Mawkin You get tunes, tunes, tunes and no squawkin' You should see them strings break As they play Battered Hake And the 'Worms shriek 'That's our tune, yer farkin'..... Or, Oxford Festival booked this band 'Twas Mawkin, finest in all the land They went in search for a kebab van Said Squeezy Spiers, 'I'm your man' Through Oxford's moonlit streets they trod Past dreaming spires and the book-filled Bod Till at last they spied that kebab fella Plying his trade of salmonella. Alas poor Jamie got left behind Alone with his fiddle in the rain and wind. He strode off up the road to Woodstock Thinking to find that window to knock At the rear of the Half Moon pub. Years have rolled on since this happened... But the short version is, everyone found St Clements And the session still plays on. Any use Dave? |
Subject: RE: MAWKIN - Waltham Abbey Folk Club From: Pete_Standing Date: 20 Apr 04 - 03:51 PM I'm glad everyone had a good time. I was a bit disappointed for the lads when they played at the Oxford Folk Festival because the audience was a bit on the thin side; then again it was Sunday at 1pm and sore and sleepy heads might have caused this. Still, I thought they were great and I'll recommend them to the organisers at the local club. Harlow poet has been an inpiration too eh what? |
Subject: RE: MAWKIN - Waltham Abbey Folk Club From: George Papavgeris Date: 20 Apr 04 - 05:47 PM Inspiration? HarlowPoet? Yes, if you speak SerboCroat! Me, I found his rhymes contrived, his lines a riddle. From the heart one language speaks: that what's spoken by the Greeks. Why, I show more feeling when I take a p..... |
Subject: RE: MAWKIN - Waltham Abbey Folk Club From: George Papavgeris Date: 20 Apr 04 - 05:56 PM The above was writ in jest. Thought I should explain it, lest the unfortunates who don't speak Greek got shirty. But why not begin a thread where in rhyme all is said? All you need's a keyboard, and not even QWERTY. |
Subject: RE: MAWKIN - Waltham Abbey Folk Club From: tartan babe Date: 20 Apr 04 - 05:58 PM Hey, countess, you look really similar to James from Mawkin. Are you his bird? (Or would you like to be?) :-)) TB |
Subject: RE: MAWKIN - Waltham Abbey Folk Club From: GUEST,harlowpoet Date: 20 Apr 04 - 06:06 PM El Greko Not sure if we've met, but I bumped into Mcgrath of Harlow this morning, and he said you wrote some good songs. So I'll let you off. Though I would anyway. Come to our club sometime. Simon |
Subject: RE: MAWKIN - Waltham Abbey Folk Club From: George Papavgeris Date: 20 Apr 04 - 06:17 PM Simon, listen to McGrath for in songs great taste he hath. I am joking, though McGrath's praise is no waffle. And I'm glad you let me off - it's the whiskey that I scoff - and I hope real soon to split with you a bottle. |
Subject: RE: MAWKIN - Waltham Abbey Folk Club From: The Borchester Echo Date: 21 Apr 04 - 03:34 AM Hi tartan babe! Who are you? Are you very short-sighted? I don't look a bit like James but I sure as hell wish I played as well as he does... |
Subject: RE: MAWKIN - Waltham Abbey Folk Club From: breezy Date: 21 Apr 04 - 05:02 AM some of El Grekos songs have already been aired at W-Ab FC although only he and Vin Garbutt do justice to Flowers in the Guns. Your leader can tell you more and Jan too So whose your next guest then? |
Subject: RE: MAWKIN - Waltham Abbey Folk Club From: tartan babe Date: 21 Apr 04 - 05:39 AM lol, ok, if you take a peak at your pic here and Jamies pic here There is a tad of resemblance, don't you think? I am short sighted though! lol :-p TB |
Subject: RE: MAWKIN - Waltham Abbey Folk Club From: Leraud Date: 21 Apr 04 - 05:46 AM Well Countess Richard - you've certainly changed since Monday night! |
