The Cornwall Harp & Gurdy Festival returns to Falmouth for the weekend with a programme filled with live performances and events to explore and celebrate these two distinctive instruments.
Bringing together local and national acts, alongside taster sessions and the opportunity to hear their influence on all types of music, this Festival for all ages will mean you will never view harps and hurdy-gurdies the same way again!
You can experience and take part in beginner harp workshops, a hurdy-gurdy ceilidh, Stone Club DJ set, acclaimed harp player Anna McLuckie and more.
Supported by Arts Council England and Falmouth Town Council
An opportunity for electronica buffs and instrumentalists of all kinds to work with hurdy gurdy player Ian Waughman. This will be a collaborative and creative workshop with a focus on giving participants the opportunity to do something new with their instrument, equipment and/or writing. Starting from some of Ian’s lyrics, a fusion of Cumbia beats and chords, a pinch of Dub sounds and some Hurdy Gurdy we can have a fun and creative couple of hours. Anything is possible! All levels welcome. All instruments welcome. All forms of participation welcome.
