KERNOW: RIP TERRY BONNEY

Kernow bids farewell to Cornish patriot Terry Bonney - RIP

A well known public face of Cornwall, Terry Bonney from Lanlivery, has sadly passed away aged 81 years.

With the Anxo Lorenzo Trio waiting in the wings, first out on stage was local singer/songwriter Matt Creer, who gently cajoled the packed auditorium at the Centenary Centre with a selection of self-composed songs which reflected upon a number of diverse experiences.

His gentle demeanour masks a powerful creative force, which explored material from his latest album, The Leeward Tide, but also touched upon some of his earlier compositions.
