Mesmerising singer captures poetry in the music – with brilliant guitar accompaniment

Jim Causley captivates and mesmerises with his poetic singing style, reminiscent of the Waterson-Carthy mode in its prime. Jim has recorded with Show of Hands and John McCusker, toured with Kate Rusby and on his last album, he put tunes to the poems of his relative, Charles Causley. Lukas Drinkwater, a skilful and sought-after session musician, accompanies on guitar. What others say: “The finest male folk singer of his generation.” And: “Cheeky, charming and his singing is as deep and rich as the best gravy.”
