We are a progressive cornish folk band from south east Cornwall, playing bass driven arrangements of traditional Cornish tunes, dazzling mandolin intertwining with celtic fiddle and brooding bass to capture the mystery of Cornish music and dance in innovative arrangements.

We are experienced in playing for Troyl (cornish ceilidh) and Noze Looan (similar to the breton fest noz: placing emphasis on accessable dances to increase participation.)

Although Will and Martin have been playing as a duo/trio for the past year the new full 4 piece line up (including the signature Pentorr bass) is preparing for 2008 with some new songs and great rearrangements of some old ones.

The Current Line Up:

Will Manley (fiddle) (Black Friday, Ilow)

Martin Jump (mandolin/bouzouki) (Black Friday)

Matt Bollington (bass/ acoustic guitar)

Dom Lamb (Percussion, Tea)

Hey guys, I'm afraid we're not entirely sure where & when we are performing at Aberfest as the programme keeps changing. What we do know is that we're recording right over easter, so saturday is the 1 day that we'll be there. As soon as we find out ourselves, we'll let you know. Look forward to seeing / hearing you there. X

We would appreciate anyone who becomes a friend of Dawn and helps with getting the word out about her upcoming video release of How We Die. This was the last song Dawn recorded prior to losing her battle with Cancer on March 28, 2007

Dawn’s twin sister Sherrie accepts The Geri Lester Heroes of Breast Cancer Courage Award – In Memory from the Karmanos Cancer Institute on Dawn’s behalf in a video recorded on October 22, 2007.

You can view this award presentation on Dawn's MySpace page.

freakouts. Ones to watch." The Guardian
