Songweavers Launch

‘Songweavers’ is launched! Our new anthology on the musical women of Cornwall arrived dramatically mid-party, hot off the press. At 560 pages, it’s quite a sizeable monument to all the stories found and the hard work put in!

We spent the afternoon at Penlee Park, where our researchers were able to finally meet in person for the first time since Covid landed in our lives. We had a magical dry weather window in an otherwise very rainy July, and made the most of it with music, cake, and stories from our amazing researchers.

Huge HUGE thank yous to:

All our researchers – an amazing group who turned lockdown into an opportunity for creating such a wonderful book.

The musicians who volunteered their time to make today so special. It was the first live music many of us have heard for a very long time!

Book editors Hilary Coleman, who has led the research group so skilfully, and Florence Browne, who designed and has led the project.
