15 Apr 04 - 01:46 PM (#1162545) Subject: MAWKIN - Waltham Abbey Folk Club From: GUEST,Leraud 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 |

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 |

19 Apr 04 - 07:22 AM (#1165069) Subject: RE: MAWKIN - Waltham Abbey Folk Club From: Pete_Standing 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? |

20 Apr 04 - 05:54 AM (#1165883) Subject: RE: MAWKIN - Waltham Abbey Folk Club From: The Borchester Echo 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. |

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 :) |

20 Apr 04 - 12:40 PM (#1166257) Subject: RE: MAWKIN - Waltham Abbey Folk Club From: The Borchester Echo 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? |

20 Apr 04 - 03:51 PM (#1166412) Subject: RE: MAWKIN - Waltham Abbey Folk Club From: Pete_Standing 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? |

20 Apr 04 - 05:56 PM (#1166528) Subject: RE: MAWKIN - Waltham Abbey Folk Club From: George Papavgeris The above was writ in jest.

20 Apr 04 - 06:06 PM (#1166545) Subject: RE: MAWKIN - Waltham Abbey Folk Club From: GUEST,harlowpoet 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 |

20 Apr 04 - 06:17 PM (#1166551) Subject: RE: MAWKIN - Waltham Abbey Folk Club From: George Papavgeris Simon, listen to McGrath for in songs great taste he hath.

21 Apr 04 - 08:16 AM (#1167016) Subject: RE: MAWKIN - Waltham Abbey Folk Club From: The Borchester Echo Hey tartan babe! Come to Moreton Village Festival on 21 - 23 June, details on Mawkin's website. We can have more than one beer and lots of tunes. There'll be a kind of prequel (that's if Mawkin get back from Cromer pier) at the Cellar Upstairs on 8 May when the Gloworms who are doing the Friday ceilidh at Moreton will be the guests. Mawkin should be floorspotting - and there could be mass Hake Battering... |

22 Apr 04 - 06:37 AM (#1167740) Subject: RE: MAWKIN - Waltham Abbey Folk Club From: Dave of Mawkin Hey Tartan Babe! A beer sounds great, in fact, thats where you'll find Mawkin at any festival,pub or club.Were doing plenty of festivals this year, so im sure you'll be able to catch us somewhere,However come to Moreton Folk Festival on 11-13th of June (NOT 21-23rd June Countess!) and im sure you'll have fun season passes including camping are £22.50 - Check out me website to see whos playing! As for the Cellar Upstairs on the 8th of May, I dont think its physically possible, we may stay an extra day in Cromer. I better speak to the lads. Finally, I personally think the guitarist is more sexy anyway.... |

22 Apr 04 - 07:00 AM (#1167749) Subject: RE: MAWKIN - Waltham Abbey Folk Club From: The Borchester Echo Oops sorry Dave. Must have been thinking of the Fleadh and confusing you with Bob Dylan. Do, do, do try and make the Cellar Upstairs on 8 May. That's everybody - but especially Mawkin 'cos if there's one thing better than a Gloworms gig, it's a Gloworms/Mawkin confrontation! |

22 Apr 04 - 07:15 AM (#1167755) Subject: RE: MAWKIN - Waltham Abbey Folk Club From: Dave of Mawkin Actually, if you see an early picture of Dylan, I do look a bit like him, expecially when I get up with a hangover! A Mawkin/Gloworms confrontation has only ever happened once in history, are the public ready for another?! |
