Mawkin's extraordinary brand of boisterous British Folk music is gathering momentum with the much-anticipated release of their new album 'Down Among The Dead Men'. It's built on a solid traditional foundation with accordion and violin and is influenced by the swagger of 90s Indie Rock. Mawkin's sound comes alive with a large dose of Essex-boy energy on stage. Their two previous albums resulted in great reviews by press (‘Invigorating, Highly Inventive’ – Q Magazine, ‘A Gutsy re-working of Traditional Songs’ - The Guardian), a support for Bellowhead and many Folk Festivals in the UK.
