Ladock Charity Musicfest Saturday St Pirans Night

An annual charity Music Festival bringing music from all corners of Cornwall to Ladock in aid of Little Harbour Childrens Hospice, the Merlin MS Centre and the Ladock Playing Field held at Ladock Hall. The 2019 festival is on two nights 1st/2nd March. Saturday night is St Pirans Night of Song, Dance and Laughter with the best Folk and Cornish Music in the South West Those who enjoyed the first Musicfest last year will be delighted to hear MacQuarrie and Toms have agreed to repeat their dazzling performance. Stuart and Jamie have been wowing crowds with their charged fiddle and acoustic guitar and it will be a pleasure to hear them again Bagas Crowd will also start us off again, their energetic violins making music made for dancing. The similarity to last year ends there. Those disappointed not to hear the other 2018 performers may find them appearing on Friday 1st March, we hope We are very humble to have new to the Musicfest some of the best folk musicians and performers in the South-West and beyond. Firstly the Belfast Busker has agreed to entertain us bringing the Irish connection to the celebrations. Singin’ Songs & Spinnin’ Yarns – Keltic Folk Rock. Sure to make you smile and get you dancing. Next we have Gozer Goodspeed all the way from Plymouth. A blues/folk singer/songwriter bringing to us his powerful, foot-stomping rabble-rousing performance together with his unique guitar skills. Then we have Black-Eyed Nancy. Merging new concepts and traditional folk.They will entertain us with stunning originals and edgy variations on Cornish folk classics. Again they will keep you on the dance floor or at least your feet tapping Lastly we have Davey Dodds and Martin Solomon half of newly formed The Porbeagles with Davey Dodds. Martin makes magic with his fiddle and Celtic harp and Davey Dodds is a songwriter of some renown. His classic ‘The Magpie’ was recently covered by The Unthanks and used in the BBC2 series ‘The Detectorists’. Great Musicians. What an amazing collection of talent worthy of a full house. Also Newhouse Farm Cottages Witheridge Devon have agreed to support by offering another break for our raffle. There will be many more such quality prizes. Maybe a return trip for our last winner of this prize Ian Tumilty Look forward to seeing you all and don’t forget Ladstock in July All proceeds to Merlin MS Centre, Little Harbour Hospice and Ladock Playing Field
