St Ives Song Project

St Ives has long been a rich source of inspiration for countless musicians, poets, storytellers and artists - a cultural magnet for people who love Cornwall.

The St Ives Song Project brings together 7 Cornwall based singer songwriters, who have all written and arranged new material to capture the spirit and historical legacy of St Ives in music and song.

With Mike Silver, Dee Brotherton, Merv Davey, Fred Williams, Toni Carver, Vaughan Bennett and Dave Brotherton.

Supported by FEAST, Hobgoblin Music, Cornwall Community Grant Scheme & The Painted Bird.

"As a lover of song with a strong sense of time and place, I can think of no better subject for new material than St Ives - it's people, landscape and history."
Steve Knightley, Show of Hands.

Kiranpal Singh Deoora - santoor.
Hanif Khan - tabla.

Kiranpal and Hanif performed together in trio at the 2008 September Festival. In collaboration with Asian Music Circuit they are now returning to play a duo recital.

Kiranpal is a pupil of the great Shiv Kumar Sharma, and is the UK's leading player of the santoor, a hammered zither of Persian origin with a rare and entrancing sound that is capable of shimmering filigree and percussive rhythmic figuration.

Hanif is a virtuosic and thoughtful performer and the country's foremost exponent of the tabla – a pair of hand drums that provide a rhythmic framework as well as complex improvisations.
