About us
Award-winning folk singer and musician Jim Causley will present 'Traditional Songs of Devon', an illustrated talk with live music, bringing to life the distinct flavour of Devonian music-making. Jim has dedicated much of his career to researching and reviving the forgotten gems of songs from his native western peninsula. Drawing from the collections of Victorian folksong collectors such as Sabine Baring-Gould and Cecil Sharp as well as more modern collectors and writers including Cyril Tawney and Tony Rose, living singers as well as a few of his own self-penned hits, Jim presents an evening jam-packed with Devonshire delights. From Arscott of Tetcott to Widecombe Fair and everything in between, this show is a thoroughly enjoyable introduction to the county's rich musical culture. Jim is an all-round entertainer and during the past decade Causley has been nominated six times for a BBC Radio 2 Folk Award. The Shilstone Café will be open between 6pm and 7pm for drinks and cake.
