Benbow Cornish Session

Benbow Cornish Session Musicians interested in exploring the Cornish repertoire are welcome to join us. Chris,the Landlord, and his team are most welcoming and supportive.

This is a monthly Cornish music session held every Thursday evening (usually the 3rd Thursday of the month), from 8.00pm till 10.00pm in the Wreck Bar of the Admiral Benbow in Penzance. We play Cornish tunes old and new, individually and in sets on a variety of traditional instruments. We also celebrate songs from Cornwall and the sea- many of which include rollicking choruses which everyone is en

couraged to join in with. Dancing is encouraged too and a couple of our regulars are happy to lead you in furries and serpents in the party atmosphere which we try to create. The evening is first and foremost about having a good time. See you there! John and Andy

Apologies to those people who might have been considering going to the Cornish Tune Session Nigel Nethersole and I were going to lead in Marazion on Tuesday, but unfortunately, due to some last minute issues with identifying a suitable venue, the session has been cancelled 😭. Don't forget though, that we're doing another Benbow Cornish Session at.........surprise, surprise The Admiral Benbow, on Thursday 18 September at our usual start time of 8pm.
