About this event

Returning to Penzance with his trio

Following a hugely successful visit to the Acorn in September, Richard Trethewey is set to return with his highly accomplished trio.

Richard’s Bardic name is Kaner Drollys, “Singer of Stories” and that is precisely what he offers: tales carried on melody, history wrapped in song. Known for unearthing forgotten fragments of Cornish life and breathing them into both music and film, Richard’s voice is steeped in the salt air and granite of his homeland.

Alongside Neal Jolly (Double Bass, Whistles, Vocals) and Steve Hawker (Piano), his fiddle and cittern weave a soundscape that is at once intimate and expansive. Together they conjure a living tapestry.

Echoes of miners’ laments, unbelievable yet true stories and timeless landscapes where each song feels like a step deeper into Cornwall’s bedrock. Expect an evening of plaintive beauty, rousing choruses, and stories that stay with you long after the final notes fade.

Richard will also show a couple of his most well loved films which bring his songs alive with a unique humour and beautiful cinematic film making.
