2023: Festival Number 50!
Three nights of pure magic in the town hall — Gigspanner Big Band, Kinnaris Quintet and Seth Lakeman (with Benji Kirkpatrick and Alex Hart), with support from Geoff Lakeman and Rob Merch, Our Atlantic Roots and Windjammer. Two intimate shows at the Betjeman Centre with Sarah McQuaid and Teyr, plus Chris Ostler and Cat Florence.
And such a variety of music at the FAR Stage and Shanty St — including River Blue, Humm, My Friend John, Mitzi Irish, Barry Hunt, Du Glas, Nicole Tesseyman, Mark Richards, Annown, Detta Kensie, Toby Webb, James Dixon, The Stowes, Figurehead, Gary Causland, Kana and Mandy Woods.
Dancing from Wreckers, Tatters and Tywardreath, and the return of in-pub sessions in the Ship, Swan and Social Club.
Plus workshops in the Cornish language and improvising on trad tunes.
And a tribute to the late folk legend John ‘The Fish’ Langford from his many friends.
