Cornish traditional music has its origins in the jobbing tunes of the past. Tunes that were used to lead feast day celebrations, the procession of combatants to Wresting tournaments, accompany dancing or simply street and pub entertainment. They were adapted from and to other genres and could become connected to and disconnected from songs and ballads. It is a living tradition and many new tunes have been added to Cornish session and dance tune repertoire in recent years but there remains a core that takes us back to the crowders (fiddlers) and horners of the 19th century and beyond.
