Forged out of the electric partnership of brothers Jamie and David Delarre, Mawkin are a concoction of brilliantly inventive musicianship and uninhibited carnal exuberance. Initially coming together as a 3-piece the Delarre brothers enlisted the help of good friend and rock bassist Danny Crump. Starting out as a âbunch of matesâ they played to a rapturous crowd at the 2002 Dartmoor Festival and before long Mawkin were performing at festivals across the country even though 2/3rds of the band werenât old enough to drive.
The following year saw Mawkin bring in the talents of melodeon player Alex Goldsmith and the band quickly evolved into a stalwart of the British folk festival scene. Their recorded work has proved as popular and innovative as their live work. Following 2005âs 6 track E.P âExtended Procrastinationâ, in 2007 the band released their spectacular debut âThe Fair Essexâ, an album which cleverly wove together a narrative of English summers, picturesque coastal towns and villages its been praised for its âgypsy jazz stylings, rural sound effects and samples â its beauty is in the detailâ, one of MOJOâs folk albums of the year âThe Fair Essexâ was a landmark in the bands history.
Subsequent tours and festivals followed the success of their debut and the next two years proved to be a turning point for the band. Much of it was spent honing their skills and building on their energetic live shows in the UK and Europe. Mawkin also worked hard to gain the attention of new fans supporting a diverse selection of artists on tours; Eliza Carthy, Billy Bragg, Show of Hands and Mr Scruff. A chance meet with Jim Causley (Devils Interval, Under one Sky) at Dartmoor Festival led to the extremely popular collaboration Mawkin:Causley. The 5-piece folk boy band set to work on recording an E.P while appearing at various festivals in 2008.
Not many bands can lay claim to being nominated for a BBC Radio 2 Folk Award before they have released an album, but Mawkin:Causley can. Following the success of their 6 track sampler âCold Ruinâ the collaboration were nominated for âBest Groupâ alongside fellow ground-breaking contemporaries Bellowhead. Hailed as the âpin-up poster boys of folkâ Mawkin:Causley attracted a lot of media attention with live sets on BBC Radio 2âs Bob Harris show and BBC Radio 4âs Clive Andersonâs Loose Ends show. Mawkin:Causley toured rigorously as well as appearing at a number of high profile festivals; BBC Radio 2 Cambridge Festival, Larmer Tree Festival and Shrewsbury Festival.
In 2009 they released their debut album âThe Awkward Recruitâ â it was met with critical acclaim; Uncut called it âRemarkably assured â such conviction and a true sense of their musicâs historyâ , while fRoots declared it âSupremely confident â a serious album, of considerable weightâ. âThe Awkward Recruitâ won two more BBC Radio 2 Folk Award nominations for âBest Groupâ and âBest Traditional Trackâ. In August 2010 Mawkin:Causley disbanded as members of the collaboration wanted to head in their own directions. Jim Causley set to work on his solo record, while Alex Goldsmith hung up his melodeon and retired from music.
Mawkin looked to forge a bold new sound that would strengthen their instrumental roots while embracing a new, exuberant exploration into the traditional folk canon. The band turned to good friend, melodeon player and mastering engineer Nick Cooke (The Jim Moray Band, Trinculo, Glorystrokes) and Lee Richardson; drummer and co-producer/engineer on âThe Fair Essexâ. The result was their bravest record to date.
Two years in the making âCrowâ is another landmark in the bandâs history, ancient instrumental folk tunes from around the globe are dragged delightfully into the modern age. Folk tunes are fused sublimely with jazz, rock and prog with a swagger and conviction that is thrillingly reassuring. New collaborations are offered with the jaw-dropping vocals of Eliza Carthy on the haunting and soulful âBad Girls Lamentâ, one of Englandâs finest songwriters Steve Knightley (Show of Hands) delivers a pounding acoustic pop remake of his own âIts All Quietâ, the youthful and cheeky vigour of Jim Causley is presented in full show on âThe Bellringersâ and Mawkinâs own guitarist and singer David Delarre gives a raucous Essex-delta blues cover of The Kinks âHarry Ragâ. There is a real sense that âCrowâ is landmark achievement in the bands history- not just the music but also in the approach to the record. Melodeon player Nick Cooke recently said âwe really wanted to go away for a while and make a record that we would want to listen toâ the band were also insistent on creating their own cottage industry; Drummer Lee Richardson explains âwe really wanted to bring together all the know-how the band has built over the years and we have the facility to record and produce it ourselves â so we did exactly thatâ, together with Nick Cooke (who also works as Mastering Engineer for Extreme Music the Production Music arm of Sony/ATV)) the band could spend much more time developing their sound in the studio than ever before, even the artwork was produced by Becca Eastland â Leeâs partner and professional artist. âCrowâ signifies a real organic process that harks back to their critically acclaimed debut âThe Fair Essexâ and looks set to be just as well received.
