09 May Festival Finale
This is our final Festival day. There was to be an interesting talk and our grand finale with music from the very popular band, The Stowes.
Charles Fox – The Gardens and History of the Fox Family
Charles Fox was to talk to us about his wonderful garden at Glendurgan – take a virtual tour here. Charles is a garden designer, artist and writer. He has recently published On the Brink about the history of his family’s business interest over a period of 300 years in Cornwall.
An Evening with The Stowes
We’d have enjoyed foot-stomping Celtic Folk when The Stowes played their traditional and self-penned folk songs and sea shanties, spliced with Jigs and Reels.
The Stowes are a three-piece Celtic Folk Band from Cornwall who create an up tempo, upbeat performance. Over the past 4 years, they have performed over 250 live performances around Cornwall and the UK. They have also toured in America and played with such bands and performers as Bohola, Colleen Raney and Hanz Araki of The Press Gang. With a full-bodied combination of Piano Accordion, Bouzouki, 5 string banjo and Stomp Box, The Stowes are on a mission to re-invent Cornish Celtic music and present it to the world. Hear their music here.
