About this event
Lafrowda welcomes outstanding musician and storyteller Marion Kenny, as resident artist of St. Just during Lafrowda week in July 2024.
Marion is an Irish Brummy living in Edinburgh, whose dad was a tweed weaver from Donegal and grew up in the Gaeltacht with a strong tradition of oral storytelling and music. She will explore Lafrowda’s theme ‘Going Underground’ for her performances, selecting stories of Celtic heritage, finding connections between Cornwall and Scotland – mining, Arthurian legends, people disappearing into the mountains and the underworld, stories of coastal mythical creatures, Selkies and ghosts. She accompanies her stories with her Chinese harp, interspersed with beautiful tunes on her flute.
During her week in St. Just she will perform at local nursery, primary and secondary schools plus provision for older people, including the Benoni Nursing Home.
Her open public performance at St. Just Miners Chapel is a ‘pay what you can’ event, so please help out Lafrowda and do just that!
This project has been part funded by FEAST in partnership with Cornwall Community Foundation.
