Just in case you can't be in Berlin to see Zapoppin', here's a rare opportunity to see some other phenomenal musicians (who rarely stray far from their homes in SW Virginia) in Penryn!

On their own, Rose and the Black Twigs have won plenty of accolades - Rose
is regularly placed in the top tier of today's acoustic guitarists,
distinguishing himself with finger-picked rambles that veer from
ragtime to raga, while the Black Twigs have been described by Bluegrass
Unlimited as "exciting old-time music at its finest" and by Sing Out! as "more akin to the previous generation of masters than many of those plying the trade today."

Tickets and all manner of details including videos by clicking the flyer...

“…a slice of dazzling alternative rock. It’s recorded easy on the gain but loud as f***; lysergic bursts of warm guitar vibrate snare skins. Arbouretum owe as much to the English delivery of Martin Carthy as they do to the beatnik languor of Fred Neil and the polychromatic textures of J Mascis (Dinosaur Jr)” Plan B magazine

Our Record Label is about to forgo business, and is trying to get rid of its stock before it does, so both our albums are now just £0.01 +postage, basically free from http://d67.bigcartel.com

Just in case ye forgot...

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.


For further information and to hear the bands, see their websites
