Biography

More than simply a folk-singer, multi award winning singer-songwriter and musician Jim Causley is an all-round entertainer. During the past decade Causley has been nominated no less than six times for a BBC Radio 2 Folk Award and last year he was nominated as “Singer of the Year”. He has appeared on BBC TV’s Countryfile as well as a series on Highwaymen & Outlaws with BBC historian Sam Willis. In 2017 Cornish filmmaker Jane Darke made a specially commissioned biographical film about the life of Jim’s relative; the poet Charles Causley which aired on BBC4 TV in October as part of the Centenary celebrations. The soundtrack to the film was composed entirely by Jim and featured music from his 2013 album ‘Cyprus Well’. A prolific collaborator, Causley is hugely admired for his work with iconic groups The Devil’s Interval and Mawkin:Causley as well as playing, touring and recording alongside Waterson:Carthy, John McCusker, Eddie Reader, Graham Coxson, Shirley Collins, Michael Morpurgo, Show of Hands, Kate Rusby, David Rotheray of Beautiful South fame and many more. He was described by Mojo Magazine as “the finest singer of his generation” and they put Forgotten Kingdom in their Top Ten Folk Albums of 2016 list. Westcountry father of folk Geoff Lakeman described Causley as possessing “A voice in a million” in a recent interview in the Western Morning News, some accolade indeed!
