Iβm so excited for this brand new show which begins touring this month!
Miranda Sykes' singing on 'Everything Possible' is a marvel. She opens up the voice as if entering a new spacious room. @jimcausley.bsky.social's singing is spellbinding, & his accordions, too, have voices, sometimes of a plaintive, almost French elegance. Warmly recommended!
In 'Elegy for Geraint' from @jimcausley.bsky.social 'The Georgic', a Welsh tune of grave beauty accompanies words from the Black Book of Camarthen. Devon's last king falls to the Saxons.... in a tribute sung with great restraint & dignity.
My autumn tour begins today! πΆ
βοΈ 20th Anniversary Tour! βοΈ

That was an interesting choice for Genevieve to play at this time of year! I always think of it as more of an autumnal song! Thank you for investing in new album with Miranda. I also have my latest songwriting album coming out imminently. Rather like buses!! Huge thanks πΌ
Thanks for the tip-off Alison and huge thank yous to the marvellous Genevieve! β₯οΈπΆ
Online Concert - Sat 5th April, 7pm. Tickets from my websiteβ¦
Jim Causley (accordion, piano & vocals) and Miranda Sykes (guitar, bass, bodhran & vocals) singing their favourite songs in the beautiful venue of St Mary's Creative Space, Chester
Great to see @jimcausley.bsky.social & Miranda Sykes at St Mary's Creative Space singing new arrangements of their favourite songs by other artists. Some popular classics and some less well known but deserving to be heard
Thanx @sboxmusic.bsky.social for bringing great folk 'n roots music to Chester
Another fabulous @soundboxmusic.bsky.social gig at St Mary's Creative in Chester with the incredible voices (and musicianship) of @jimcausley.bsky.social & Miranda Sykes. Nice one .. again .. Rose & Bev.
Next up, next week, Kris Drever & Chris Stout .. another great night to look forward to.
'My lady hath her sable coach
With horses two and four
My lady hath her black bloodhounds
That runneth on before..'
Two of my favourite singers! The rich tones of @jimcausley.bsky.social & the pure & strong voice of Miranda Sykes - & perhaps the most terrifying dogs in folksong! #folksong #devon
If you are in the Manchester area in late March, this folk music festival has a great lineup (don't forget to check out @jimcausley.bsky.social) : manchesterfolk.com #folkmusic #folklore #manchester
Many thanks Mark π
Bless you Alison for your kind and encouraging words β₯οΈ some versions of the tale say she had a black dog with one eye that ran on before the coach and others say she herself took the form of a black dog and didnβt need the coach!! Xxx
π Well done everyone! π
