Jaclarabag Premiere at the Acorn and then at Roseland Music Society


 Hi, we all loved the show (group of five) on Thursday evening - my kids and friends too making a beeline for the gig.... from the Gallery at the Acorn....and the music of @ClareIngleheart Jim Carey Giles King. Thank you for pushing a new boat out and best of luck to @Jaclarabag. It was great to hear both some familiar tunes of Jim's and some new tunes - action movie soundtracks, Romanian dances, processional music not adopted by Helston yet, Englsh folk song. Astonishing versitility on those clarinets, bagpipes, drums, guitar, sax, fiddle, etc etc. and some lovely singing too. The packed audience (nearly a sell out) clearly of BIG fans added to the knockabout and improvised joy of a sparky new band ready to break the mould. For all Those tunes may be £0.38p tunes but there were some humdingers and there were some gem "links" or as Jim would say "pure gold". Will you come to the Roseland next year to play? pm me

Liz Brazier - widely regarded as the mother of cellists  in Cornwall  as Barbara Degener, the ensemble leader , called her at the close of this concert, has for some years run a cello weekend in the new year where cellists of all ages and abilities meet to work  and play together.   (she is actually the mother of Ben Hoagley one of the other performers - and celebrated a significant birthday today) Cornwall Cello Voices is a group of  eight of the rather more accomplished performers who have given concerts at the end of the weekend.   The sound of 8 cellos playing together in harmony is thrilling as recordings by the cellist of the Berlin Philharmonic in the 90s attest.  And this concert was certainly extremely well delivered with ensemble and balance between a frequent myriad of parts well judged. The cello's sonorous register makes it a favourite with many but the compar...

Jennet Campbell MBE

On Friday we celebrated the life of Jennet Campbell in Gerrans Church with a tribute led by Emma Campbell her daughter, and readings by daughter Sally and friends.  Local poet and county councillor Bert Biscoe gave the eulogy. Jennet Campbell was a critical influence on the development of many musicians in Cornwall, either directly or indirectly - through her own teaching or through the work of the  Radford Trust and the instrument provision scheme they have provided for many children coming to music for the first time. She received and MBE and was created a bard in the Kernow Gorsedd for her contribution to music in Cornwall.  She was the niece of musicians Maisie and Evelyn Radford, the two sisters who had settled St Anthony in Roseland and founded Falmouth Opera Group in the 1930s.  She inherited their studio and Coastguards in the village and it was from this Cornish centre of operations that her remarkable contribution to music at parish level (formation of ...
