Welcome www.whatsoncornwall.co.uk

Well, I don’t know about everyone else, but we’re in our Christmas jumpers and reindeer antlers already at WoC HQ; merrily toasting ourselves with sherry on having made it to the end of the year.

We have some new partners: Trebah Gardens, Burrell Theatre, Heartlands, Falmouth BID and Red Hotels; as well as an exciting new pilot project with 6 of Cornwall’s museums: National Maritime Museum, Royal Cornwall Museum, Wheal Martyn, Penlee House Gallery and Museum, Porthcurno Telegraph Museum and Falmouth Art Gallery.

We hope you’ve enjoyed using these guides as much as we’ve enjoyed creating them.

Happy Bonfire Night! Happy Christmas!

Happy New Year!

Lessons in Love Carmen & Mimi

The Grace Notes

Fronted by Ley Adewole, a former international backing singer who has sung with the likes of Stevie Wonder, Tom Jones and Diana Ross, The Grace Notes are a retro soul, gospel & jazz collective bringing new twists to classic soul, funk & gospel greats, heavily influenced by the sounds and stars of Motown soul.

‘This is one of the best live bands you can ever hope to see!! Follow them, stalk them, beg, borrow and steal tickets to see them’

Audience: Everyone 8+

Lessons in Love is a comedy told through action, speech and extraordinary music with an uplifting and unexpected ending. Set in the 1970s, two women go to evening classes to ‘find themselves’, and fate throws them unexpectedly together, despite them being wildly different.

An exciting blend of music and story with sublime singing, engaging comedy performances, slick physical direction, a great story and a feel-good vibe.

Sue Verran, composer

Carn to Cove is Cornwall’s performing arts scheme for rural communities.

The autumn season is packed with music, theatre, comedy and dance.

7th Nov @ 7:30pm Performance Ctr, Penryn

Kabasa have been wowing audiences in the South West since 2007 with their lovingly assembled collection of finest live Latino/Salsa music from pre-revolution Havana, to the hip beaches of Rio, and 1970’s New York... and given it their own shot of rum and twist of lime.

The unique arrangements fuse salsa, funk & jazz with influences from West Africa, Brazil, Columbia and of course Cuba! Congas and timbales battle it out with a tuneful and fiery brass section, resulting in a vibrant controlled explosion of sound!

‘Their music is the best mixture of warm live sounds with a very professional presentation… I can’t imagine an audience who wouldn’t enjoy one of their gigs…’ Golowan Festival 1st Nov @ 8pm Liskerrett Community Centre 22nd Nov @ 7:30pm Sancreed Village Hall

Three children wander through a dark forest. They are cold, hungry and lost.

Stopping for a rest they decide to share some of the weird and wonderful stories they have heard along their way… Find out what happened to the jolly old shoemaker, discover the dreadful fate of the gingerbread man and laugh in astonishment at the emperor’s new clothes!

A magical new show from Silly Boys, The Elves & The Shoemaker is a hilarious, wacky and heart-warming take on some of the world’s favourite fairy tales.

Reimagined with puppetry, live music and a huge dose of silliness!

What the Dickens?

Gonzo Moose

Audience: Everyone 8+

Young Charles Dickens is a rookie reporter. Whilst investigating the foggy slums of London, he accidentally stumbles on a story that could make his reputation.

Follow our hero on the adventure of a lifetime!

Expect a world of pockmarked pickpockets, cobwebby convicts, teeming slums, empty marshes, dark secrets, convoluted plots and lots and lots of fog.

This inventive and gripping comedy features just three actors playing multiple roles in 90 minutes of fast paced fun and thrilling action.

Brimming with unfeasibly quick costume changes and wonderfully daft jokes, Gonzo Moose have something to entertain the whole family.

Diary of a Lost Girl Wurlitza

CIN

EM

A

Audience: Everyone PG

Diary of a Lost Girl features mesmerising screen idol Louise Brooks as a girl whose life yoyos between lightness and innocence, darkness and despair.

There are moments of great comedy in this gripping film, in which joy and compassion are found in the most unlikely places.

Wurlitza are a Cornish band specialising in creating live soundtracks to silent films.

By adding a mix of classical, blues and pop music they bridge the gap between the centuries, adding a modern twist to extraordinary films.

The music includes works by Beethoven, Chopin, Django Reinhart, the Doors, Magic Numbers and Kraftwerk.

‘The audience positively fizzed with enthusiasm’

Audience: Adults & Children 7+

The epic story of one man’s obsession to discover the source of the Nile and transform an entire continent single-handed - and of a woman left behind…

Both a hurrah to courage and endurance and a swipe at the great 19th century ideals, Miracle serves up this curious slice of history in its own inimitable style – with a huge nod to Victorian Music Hall.

Mixing caustic comedy, seedy songs and secondrate spectacle with dubious magic, dodgy ventriloquism and breath-taking burlesque, the show will appeal to all ages.

Music Out There is a new series of original music that has been taking place in small villages around Cornwall this winter as part of our season of shows.

We have been given an award from the Performing Rights Society Foundation to support artists’ visits and particularly ways of building sustainable audiences. Getting the word out to audiences in rural spaces is challenging, and Music Out There supports Carn to Cove local volunteer promoters and keeps Cornish music fans better informed.

Miracle deftly combines its own inimitable style with the wonder of Victorian Music Hall to tell the story of one man’s obsession to discover the heart of Africa and transform an entire continent singlehanded - AND of a woman left behind...

Both a hurrah to courage and endurance and a swipe at the 19th imperialism, chauvinism and hypocrisy, this curious slice of history is served up as a magnificent melange of musicality and melodrama.

This entertaining expedition into unknown territories of comedy, excitement and musical gaiety will enthral audiences of all generations.
