Weekend 1 – 1st to 3rd October
Friday 1st October Countrymen; Cornish Folk Rock Harmony Group from Launceston

Six seasoned musicians with tight four-part harmony vocals and a token Cornishman! With a relaxed and light-hearted presentation style, they take the audience on a journey through the history and culture of Cornwall, featuring their own arrangements of traditional and contemporary songs, as well as some original material. Interspersed with the occasional pop cover to lighten the mood when required, there is no mistaking that to a man, they love their county with a passion.

Check out a few taster clips here: first video, second video, third video.

Friday 8th October Twisted Tales vol. 2 from Owdyado Theatre

Deep in space the crew of the Fortuna are searching for extra-terrestrial life but the ship is malfunctioning, the crew are beginning to show signs of a strange infection and time is running out…

As acclaimed sci-fi author Edward R Matherson lays on his death bed, a bloody battle of wits is taking place in his kitchen over the secret of the universe…

Jamie’s life is in turnaround. He’s lost his job, he’s desperate for love and his only companion is a malfunctioning Alexa unit. She’s supposed to make his life easier. But the question is – who is serving whom?

Time, space, kidnapping, torture, the infinity of the universe, the quest for humanity, the desperate search for meaning, the last gasp of a dying star and copious amounts of tea, these themes and more are covered in ‘Owdyado’s hilariously dark Twisted Tales Vol. 2 – a brand new trio of comedy thrillers live on stage!
