Kernow In The City 2015 - celebrating St. Piran's Day in London

London’s Annual Celebration of Cornish Music, Culture and Language for St. Piran’s Day – Cornwall’s National Day www.facebook.com/kernowinthecity Friday 6th March 2015 at Rich Mix, Shoreditch London EC1 Gool Peran Lowen! (Happy St. Piran’s Day!) This year’s theme was Songs and Singing. The Cornish have a proud tradition of expressing our loves, beliefs, hopes and fears through music. Songs chart the history of Cornwall's Methodist past, the hardships of life as a tin miner, the peril of those at sea, or the lament of the Cousin Jack, longing for family and familiarity whilst working a long way from home. Our headliners were The Oggymen - a 12-piece group of shanty singers from Falmouth on Cornwall’s south coast. A group of friends who delight in singing traditional Cornish songs in three part harmony so that the songs of their community are never forgotten. Last year’s headliners Dalla returned by popular demand to play a short set of their uplifting acoustic folk music that got the whole room dancing! Cornish singer-songwriter Louis Eliot is the former frontman of Rialto who scored three top 40 singles in the Britpop era. He now has an acclaimed solo career with his most recent album ‘Kittow’s Moor’ attracting 4-star reviews from some of the most-respected music magazines. From Port Isaac on the north Cornwall coast, The Grenaways describe their sound as “in the folk music genre, but none are true folkies”. Instead they’ve created a unique mix of influences in the folk style, with definite nautical undertones. A style that has a rich tradition in Cornwall where it has always been the music of the people, influenced so much by the sea and coastal living. We were proud to host the London launch of the Shout Kernow book which celebrates the tradition of harmony singing in Cornish pubs. The book’s author Hilary Coleman and the Red River Singers performed a set of lively, uplifting songs. Kernow In The City now has a regular monthly event called Wrecker’s Wednesday and we presented a celebrity version of our popular Kernow Kwys (Cornwall Quiz) for the audience to test their knowledge of the Duchy. Our bi-lingual (Cornish and English) compere for the evening was Luke from comedy duo The Cornish Oafs who use the Cornish language in their act in order to give their comedy a unique edge and to educate audiences about this ancient language. Proper Cornish pasties from Fran's Pantry, Lostwithiel and Betty Stogs ale from Skinners Brewery, Cornwall’s finest independent brewery, were on sale at the event to make sure everyone got a flavour of Kernow at its best. Dewgh onan hag oll dhe Gernow y'n Sita! Come one and all to Kernow In The City! Tis sum bleddy night!!
