Concertina / Folk Events & Sessions - Cornwall Oct./nov.?

[Wolf Molkentin]

Hi all,

 

since I'll spend my annual (usually "English" in more than one aspect) holidays in (even West-!) Cornwall this year (and as late as the second half of October and early November), I would very much appreciate any hints as to Events (Festivals seem to be highly unlikely that late in the year, don't they?), sessions or places to attend...

 

Many thanks in advance - Wolf

A festival in October? Of course!

 

Not Cornwall exactly, but almost, is Okehampton, home of the Wren Trust and their Baring-Gould festival held every October.

Local duet player Geoff Lakeman is featured and there are lots of other events.

 

Enjoy,

Thank you for the quick reply, John!

 

I had already considered Okehampton (which had apparently slipped my mind since then), but it would unfortunately be a fairly long way from near St. Just without an overnight stay...

 

But of course your hint has proven me wrong as to the lack of festivals...
