SUMMARY:Troubled Waters
DESCRIPTION:Contemporary retellings of ancient river legend\, folklore & myth. We welcome Corinne back to the chapel following her performance of Tam Lin Retold in 2023\, for her unique storytelling and live music at Trevow Chapel. \n\n\n“For a spellbinding hour\, Corinne took us deep into the realm of story\, rekindling our imaginations\, stretching open our ears and touching our hearts. The tales she told were wild and tender\, fierce and outlandish\, and soulful without ever being sentimental. And they did what all good stories do — return you to the world again\, with all its big and strange marvels.” ~ Dr. Michael Milay\, Lecturer in English and Environmental Humanities at the University of Bristol.\n\n\nWith over 4\,000 miles of polluted waterways\, Britain and Ireland’s rivers are in ruin. This vibrant new tapestry of transporting tales winds through stories that have shaped our relationship with rivers\, the lifeblood of our landscape. \n\n\n“Delicious\, captivating\, funny\, sexy\, and brilliant!” “Cheeky\, moving\, and well-paced” “A beautiful journey that blends traditional storytelling with modern language” “Vivid\, Captivating and Sassy”\n\n\nLeaping salmon\, fishtail women\, mythical raves & sacred springs… These enchanting and surprising tales present characters who question what is set in stone and find their own flow. \nWith each meandering stream and rushing river\, we dip our toes into vital waters and ask what new connections are found when we look with fresh eyes beneath the surface?

SUMMARY:Secrets of the Hidden Realm
DESCRIPTION:by Squashbox \nTonight we will open the archives and release those secret files – whatever the consequences!  \n‘Secrets of the Hidden Realm’ delves into the strange\, dark and beguiling world of Cornish folklore\, using a blend of storytelling\, comedy and ingenious puppetry. It combines a deep reverence for the history and mythology of Cornwall with absurd humour and a dash of Cosmic Horror. With influences including The X Files\, Twin Peaks\, H.P. Lovecraft’s Cthulhu Mythos and The Magnus Archives\, ‘Secrets of the Hidden Realm’ is a surreal flight of fancy into a liminal world of magic and mystery. \n Cornwall is famous for its picturesque towns and beautiful beaches… but there is another Cornwall lurking below this sunny surface: the Cornwall of folklore and superstition\, of magic and myth\, of giants\, faeries\, mermaids\, demons\, ghosts and witches. This ‘Hidden Realm’ exists alongside our own\, in a parallel time and space\, invisible to mortals such as ourselves. But occasionally… at certain magical times and in certain enchanted places… the veil that separates our worlds can be breached… \nFor centuries\, a mysterious covert organisation has been investigating the Hidden Realm: monitoring strange and unnatural phenomena\, documenting evidence\, and recording witness statements – all from its top secret base in Camborne. \nBut the time for secrecy is over. The world needs to know the truth. Tonight we will open the archives and release those secret files – whatever the consequences!

SUMMARY:Romeo Stodart & Ren Harvieu
DESCRIPTION:Get Folk’d Presents! Romeo Stodart & Ren Harvieu (support from Séamus McKenna) A night of folk. \nRomeo Stodart is the lead singer/songwriter in the much-loved London-based rock n roll harmony group The Magic Numbers. The band comprising of two pairs of brothers and sisters have released five critically acclaimed albums to date including their self-titled Mercury Music Prize nominated\, million selling debut. \nAnyone who believes there are no second chances needs to be re-introduced to Ren Harvieu.Seven year after Through The Night\, her Top Five debut album\, having overcome a life-threatening injury on the eve of it’s release\, the darkly enigmatic Salford-born singer-songwriter returned with the critically acclaimed Revel in The Drama (Bella Union) a brilliant\, bolder and broader take on her unique pop classicism\, a compelling diary of struggle\, a release of pent-up tension and a celebration of liberation and survival. It should’ve been a celebration but as luck would again have it\, the world went into a global pandemic on the week of release. Timing is everything but Ren Harvieu is timeless as she is inspirational. \nSéamus Mckenna – Solo artist Séamus Mckenna has over a decade of experience in writing\, recording and performing. Mixing influences from his Irish Roots\, Acoustic folk and Americana. Séamus has a unique yet familiar sound. Racking up an average of 150+ Gigs a year. Seamus is no stranger to a crowd.
