From the Folking.com review of 'Holy Heathens and the Old Green Man' by Waterson:Carthy featuring The Devil's Interval - 2006 Topic RecordsThe rich bass of Jim Causley (surely one of the most endearing voices to emerge in recent times) and the incomparable warmth of Norma Waterson provides a foundation on which the other voices can build. Jim's voice is particularly prevalent on 'The falling tear', a real treat of a song sent to the Watersons for their 1978 album 'Sound on Sound', but amazingly was never included

St Albans 16/02/05If you think that all folkies are old codgers singing sea-shanties, then get yourself down to Redbourn Folk Club tomorrow night (Thursday).
Devonian Jim Causley, who is studying Traditional Music at Newcastle University, is forging ahead in the popularity stakes. By all accounts he has all the potential of a top class entertainer with wit, voice, oodles of talent and charm. You can see him at The Cricketers (opposite the Common in Redbourn). For further information etc etc

re: Black Swan gig Feb 2004Jim Causley, a student on the Traditional Music degree course at Newcastle University, is steeped in the folk traditions of his native East Devon (and he is related to Charles Causley to boot). He is cheeky and charming and his a cappella singing is as deep and rich as the best gravy, and fruity too, when the song demands it. Ballads, lyrical songs, broadsides, Causley could do them all last night, and if he affected a reluctance to play his accordion, it was all part of a relaxed air that affirmed the supreme confidence of this gifted young musician.
