Mike (fiddle, Anglo concertina) and Barbara (harp) are experts in Cornish & early music. They are lively, enchanting performers. Mike has researched & published beautiful & unusual tunes from many important manuscripts (Ilow Kernow). He is also a fine songwriter, singer, storyteller & a bard of the Gorseth of Cornwall.
Cornwall's musical history is complex, going back to the days of its Breton lords. The workshop will cover Cornish music from the Middle Ages onwards, with plenty of fascinating tunes to play & stories to hear. Non-playing listeners are welcome too.
