* Jim Causley

Jim Causley is a folk-singer, award winning songwriter, musician, proud Devonian and all-round entertainer. He grew up in a wassailing village not far from Sidmouth Folk Festival and found his voice singing with local choirs. He studied Performing Arts and Jazz & Popular Music at Exeter College where he cut his teeth performing in bands on the Exeter music scene before heading to the University of Newcastle upon Tyne to study on their brand new degree course in Folk & Traditional Music. He rose to prominence singing with The Devil’s Interval and Mawkin:Causley as well as touring with Waterson:Carthy and David Rotheray. In recent years his work has focused on his musical settings of poems by his relative Charles Causley, penning his own songs and reviving lost gems from his home county.

2025 marks 20 years since the release of Jim's debut album ‘Fruits of the Earth’ which brought him his first BBC Radio 2 Folk Award nomination. It also marks 22 years of his career as a performer on the national folk scene. ‘The Georgic’ is his second album of self-penned songs – the follow-up to 2015’s ‘Forgotten Kingdom’ – and his twelfth solo studio album.

* David Savage

David Savage’s repertoire comprises mainly traditional English songs and tunes. Most of the songs he performs are ‘stories’, whose purpose was to entertain people at home, in the alehouse, or on board ship. David believes that the story is the most important part of any song, so he keeps his accompaniments simple. The concertina is his accompaniment of choice, although he has been known to use the Appalachian dulcimer too. His story songs sometimes have unusual outcomes!

Tonight, David is going to sing a set of old East Anglian songs.
