"There's no spot in all the world like Dobles Wall" ..and no better place to air a chorus of the late John Barber's timeless St.Ives classic. Hence our little gathering on Monday afternoon...sunshine and all!

We're proud to be producing a new version of the 1927 song with John Barber's daughter and son-in-law, Irene and Edward Tanner, along with St.Ives community music leader Katrina Geraghty and film-maker Tony Mason.

With Sylvie and Treve Nicol adding a new generation's vocals and with Kari Prince's moving cello, the aim of our new version is to keep this wonderful song alive and to honour its enduring place in St.Ives' ever-evolving story.

Watch this space - and Tony's Youtube channel Cornishpastyman - for the film's release in the near future.

ps, thanks to Graham Trevorrow for joining us as he happened to be passing by - and to that starling for adding such fine vocal top notes!

Thanks also to Kim Nicol for coming to film and photograph the occasion.

We're loving this new collaborative project at Symphony Woods on the edge of Bodmin Moor! Our visitors from Coads Green Primary School were awesome - this is a wonderful school that makes time for regular outdoor learning and it really shows. Our follow-up session the day after led to some Cornish language-based rhythm and melody development that will all go into Coad Green's very own movement of our New Wood Symphony - details to follow! Many thanks to CMST for their support, including these beautiful photos.

RIP our friend, Cornish Bard Mick Paynter.

We were lucky enough to work with Mick on our film about Newlyn's Rosebud.

He translated the introductory sections into Cornish. We met up in Tesco carpark, St.Ives, where he dictated his Cornish dialogue into a phone while sitting in the back of our van!

We wanted Mick to make a cameo appearance in the section of live portraits towards the end of the film (pictured) and kindly took care of this.

We corresponded with Mick on a number of projects thereafter and are proud to have worked with such an eminent creative writer and scholar.

The Rosebud film can be found on Youtube on our Global Jamming channel - Cornish subtitles are available for the whole film, thanks to Mick's students Barnaby Carver and Tony Hak. There isn't (yet) a caption category for Cornish language, so we put it as Breton for now 🤷🏻 :).

Thank you for your inspiration Mick.
