Gorsedh Concert

Barrett’s Privateers, Dalla Duo and Martha Woods with additional sounds & visuals by Stone Club.

Barrett’s Privateers

Since forming in 2019, Barrett’s Privateers have gained a formidable reputation as one of Cornwall’s foremost ambassadors of song through appearances at major events including Festival Interceltique de Lorient, Falmouth International Sea Shanty Festival and Rock Oyster Festival.
With songs of the sea, shanties, traditional folk, Cornish and mining songs, the nine voices of the Privateers harmonise as one in powerful and hugely entertaining performances.

DALLA Duo

Dalla Duo offer a celebration of the very best of Cornish traditional music in all its varied glory, from wild and mesmerising dance tunes to beautifully haunting slower pieces. This includes instrumentals on bouzouki and clarinet, as well as songs in Cornish and in English.
‘Inventive and enchanting, their music celebrates Cornish culture in an upbeat and infectious voice’ (The Guardian)

Martha Woods

Martha is a composer and multi-instrumentalist from Cornwall. Having grown up playing and dancing with traditional Cornish dance team, Tan Ha Dowr, and writing songs for her band, The Woodcarts, she went on to study on the Folk and Traditional Music degree at Newcastle University (including a year at the University of Limerick). She enjoys writing tunes and songs for a range of different settings and combining elements of folk and traditional music with more contemporary genres.

Stone Club

Stone Club / Klub Men. Founded in 2021 by Falmouth-based artists Lally MacBeth & Matthew Shaw, Stone Club was set up as a place for stone enthusiasts to congregate, to muse and most importantly to stomp to stones. They collaborate with a host of well-known musicians, artists, authors, film makers, archeologists, and broadcasters in a series of extraordinary events. Stone Club will DJ at the Gorsedh Concert and are creating some very special visuals too!

A concert as part of the Esedhvos Kernow Festival of Cornish Culture.
