A Journey through Music and Words
An evening of Bob Devereux's wonderful poetry accompanied by the stunning acoustic guitar playing of Adrian O'Reilly
Followed by The Emerald Dawn performing their own brand of original progressive music.
The Emerald Dawn are a multi-instrumentalist, symphonic progressive rock group, who combine elements from rock, jazz and classical music to produce their own original sound. Usually haunting, often beautifully melodic and always highly atmospheric, the music of The Emerald Dawn employs unusual harmonic structures to depict images or to tell stories that stimulate the imagination. While being complex, experimental and powerful, their music is never inaccessible.

In their respective disciplines, both Carole and Serena strive to create unique images and objects through the transformation of pigments, clay and metal which become storehouses for fragments of perception and memories.
Both artists are concerned with the numinous qualities of the peninsula, experiencing and expressing their individual responses in different but complementary media and styles.
Carole's colourful, gestural paintings demonstrate an energy which provides an intriguing balance to Serena's contemplative and carefully crafted work.

Exhibition - The Mermaid's Dream
The Mermaids Dream - Save our Oceans Environmental Art Exhibition.
With Environmental Artist (FD in EARC with Plymouth University ) Zoe Amanda Hudson.
Experience through a series of paintings, story and poetry, the delicate nature of the Ocean and become aware of how deeply we are connected to the element of Water & the Oceans which are the largest eco system on the Earth.
The oceans absorb up to half of all human CO2 emissions and they also provide half of our atmospheric oxygen levels. The absorption of CO2 emissions are altering the pH levels of the Oceans and causing the Oceans to become increasingly acidic. This will create dead zones as plankton and corals - the primary producers for nearly all marine life - struggle to survive under increasingly inhospitable conditions.
For the future well being of the Oceans, individually and collectivly need large and rapid reductions of global CO2 emissions.
Become aware of how we affect the Oceans and find out easily how we can all play our part, in reducing our own personal carbon dioxide emissions, with information from the Save our Seas Foundation.

Wild Willy Barrett's French Connection
From a cafe in Paris, via a hoolie in Dublin, to a night out in New Orleans with rip-roaring fiddle and banjo – this band does it all!
A fabulous show suitable for all ages, directed by the inimitable Wild Willy Barrett.
Charismatic French singer, Aurora Colson takes centre stage, captivating audiences with her compelling and expressive vocals as she effortlessly tackles a wide range of styles: from Bluegrass to acoustic blues, with haunting Irish melodies and a touch of Piaf thrown into the mix.
At the heart of the ensemble are the indisputable talents of multi-instrumentalist, Wild Willy Barrett, cellist Mary Holland and Irish pipes and whistle player John Devine, whose outstanding musicianship was recently rewarded by an invitation to play in the presence of The Queen at Buckingham Palace.
Innovative arrangements beautifully performed on instruments including the guitar, cello, fiddle, banjo and uilleann pipes, all overlaid with a large dose of wry humour.
A unique and unforgettable evening!
