There were always a few bizarre things going on back home, mostly stories your mate told you that never seemed like they could be true, but none of my friends ever had anything this weird happen to them.

Discovering Cornish Traditional Music

Occasional blog about politics with stuff about elections

Cornwall Council in the period 2009-13 went for a high growth strategy. They committed the council to increasing the housebuilding rate, working closely with developers in a strategy that involved boosting in-migration. The only thing new about this was its scale, ramping up the effective de-facto policy of the past half century. Since the 1960s this process has resulted in the Cornish environment, its communities and Cornishness itself paying a heavy price. And all to benefit a handful of wealthy landlords and a pack of ‘developers’ and large construction companies usually based well beyond Cornwall.

St Mary's Singers and Abbey Brass join forces to present the world premiere recording of Paul Drayton's A Ceremony of Psalms (2016), alongside the piece which it was conceived as a companion to, John Rutter's much-loved Gloria. Also featured is the first recording of Drayton's Three Places in Old Cornwall, a vivid triptych celebrating the unique and beautiful Cornish landscape and played here by its dedicatee, Cornish trumpeter Paul Thomas and organist Joseph Wicks.
