MABON T-SHIRTS AND HOODIES ALONG WITH A NEW BOOK OF 60+ TUNES COMPOSED BY JAMIE SMITH NOW AVAILABLE FROM WWW.MABON.ORG
Jamie Smith’s marriage of original, beautifully crafted tunes with influences from across the whole spectrum of celtic and european musical expressions, has ensured that the growing army of MABON fans - audiences and promoters alike - have been heralding the band as the antidote to a musical vacuum currently deemed to be aflicting the celtic music genre.
Throughout Britain, Europe and further afield, the band has been blitzing audiences: grand outdoor spectaculars in France, folk festivals in the UK, delirious allcomers in Mexico, forest parks in Italy, stadiums in Australia and castles in Poland.
A dynamic, groove laden and connecting live show has been honed with patience and graft, enabling audiences to embrace the music and enjoy the passion, brilliance and verve the band bring to a stage. MABON, a six-piece band of exemplary musicians, packed with attitude and joy, are determined to grab possession of audiences and take them to a musical party they are not likely to forget. Whether seated or standing, concerts never fail to ignite audiences, with opportunities to join in, dance, or just watch in wonderment as the music unfurls before them.

After you've finished here, you may like to hear this folk-carol on myspace... Poem 230 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse (see my blog for details): CHRISTMAS SUNG SIMPLY
As gospellers have said, Beneath signalling skies, On land dusty to tread, A trough in a stable Was the strawy first-bed Of a divine baby - The forgiving Godhead.
A season for new hope - There then and here now; The yuletide of goodwill - There then and here now.
In respect of this chance, Beneath bright or dark skies, Faith's the star that we glance Attending Christ's churches And trying to enhance, With singing and ritual, Our God-loving stance.
