Again this year, we were delighted to be taking part in Songfest, that grand celebration of music and community.

This year, Songfest had a close connection with the region, paying tribute to our county’s rich Celtic heritage, and its deep-rooted link to the sea. The chosen theme for this year’s performances was ‘Sea Shanties’. Steeped in a long maritime tradition, these enchanting songs reflect Cornwall’s enduring relationship with the watery expanse that surrounds it.

Under the expert musical direction of Angela Renshaw and Patrick Bailey, these timeless songs sought to bond a new generation of children to our region’s rich cultural inheritance.
