A new year and a new location for Kan Rag Kernow (Song for Cornwall)

A new year and a new location for Kan Rag Kernow (Song for Cornwall)

The event was held at the Hotel Lowenac in Camborne for the first time and the move was a success with an excellent atmosphere on the evening.

Four groups took part in the competition – unfortunately a fifth could not make it – the Aggie Boys’ Choir.

The quality of the entries was high, all of them with strong songs and original and diverse performances, from a personal tale from Tir ha Tavas, to a song conjuring up the atmosphere of a voyage on the sea, to a song in the voice of Miss Havisham from Dickens’ Great Expectations.

But the winners of the night were The Rowan Tree with their song Tresor (Treasure). It was very lively and memorable, and the perfect song to represent Kernow with a song sung in Cornish.

Good luck to The Rowan Tree in Ireland in April – our fingers are crossed!
