The music of Jamie Smith's Mabon is well described as Original, Interceltic, World Music. Composed by frontman Jamie Smith, and brought to life by five highly accomplished musicians, it draws inspiration directly from the traditional folk music of the Celtic countries. This is not Welsh music, nor Scottish or Irish; this is Interceltic music, a true exploration of forms and styles found in Celtic music and their forging into something bold and new. Through a myriad of twists and turns, from thoughtful lyrics to joyful jigs, graceful mazurka to ecstatic muiñera, here is a band that can take you on an emotional journey: expect to witness the joy of creating music expressed in dynamic, virtuosic performance. Stand by for infectious, life-affirming music by the spade full! [The band is well used to playing in small venues and on small stages - they continue to perform for rural touring schemes across the UK - and they keep their technical requirements simple in these settings.] “They are easily one of the best of the UK’s folk bands.......driving rhythms and an irrepressible stage presence.” worldmusic.co.uk “Both fur coat and knickers. Uplifting, energetic and cerebral in equal measures” FRoots “ epic” Guardian “a fearsome reputation as a live band… stratospheric” Financial Times
