   About joe forks
After arriving in the world and emerging from the cabbage patch i learnt to walk and talk. After two decades i found myself sturdy enough to stand in the light of others. Wandering for many days and nights through valleys and over very big mountains i eventually found the house. The house where i began to play and subsequently stumbled across my own voice and fingers bubbling in a cauldron and after hastily retrieving these most important of all musical tools ran forth to show the world.

Acorn Poster


The Acorn Arts Centre in Penzance is to be taken on a trip through Eastern Europe via

Liverpool by the combined forces of home-grown klezmer-punk-gypsy enthusiasts “Julian

Gaskell & his Ragged Trousered Philanthropists” and John Lennon inspired punk activists

"The Oz" all the way from St Petersburg, Russia on Saturday 6th December.


This bizarre exchange of musical styles is likely to be quite a night, the last "Ragged

Trousered Philanthropists" gig at the Acorn in July was a sweaty, dance floor storming

performance of epic proportions with tickets sold out in advance. Having recently returned

from a tour of Poland and Czech Republic, the Philanthropists have pushed their music even

further beyond it's limits, and with the Russians in attendance they are sure to raise their

game further towards ‘bourbon soaked vaudeville gypsy hoedown politico- punk' oblivion.


Tickets are available from The Acorn Arts Centre at £5 plus £1 booking fee per booking or by

calling the Acorn ticket line on 01736 365520, make sure you book early to avoid

disappointment, doors open at 7.30pm and the live music will continue until midnight.
