Jim Causley with Lukas Drinkwater

 

'The Poetry of Charles Causley'

Five times BBC Radio 2 Folk Award nominee Jim Causley is a singer/accordionist who is passionate about traditional song and particularly that of his native Devon. Previous incarnations include ‘The Devil's Interval’ and ‘Mawkin:Causley’ and he has recorded with the likes of ‘Waterson:Carthy’, ‘Show of Hands’, John McCusker and David Rotheray of ‘Beautiful South’ fame. In recent years projects have included touring with Steve Knightley and Kate Rusby.

To commerate the 10th anniversary of the death of his distant relative, the celebrated Cornish poet Charles Causley, Jim has set to music a diverse selection of his poems and these feature on the album ‘Cyprus Well’. Jim aims to bring wider attention to Causley’s poems and raise awareness of the Charles Causley Trust and its mission to preserve Causley’s house as a writers’ retreat.
Jim will be joined on stage by talented guitarist Lukas Drinkwater.

He is renowned for his warm and jovial stage presence and his rich singing voice has been likened to the fruitiest of ciders!
