Carols - 'Tis the season!
As the nights draw in and lanterns come into their own ... we love singing traditional Cornish carols and wassails out in our local community, and we love it when people come and join in.
Don't know these carols (... yet) ? ... No problem! Pip grew up singing these carols in Mousehole and Newlyn. For those who'd like to learn or refresh their memory of the beautiful harmony parts for the carols listed below - or who would just like to come along and have a jolly good sing, Pip is offering 3 Free Carols Workshops on Thursday afternoons. All welcome. No charge - but there will be a donations pot for St Petrocs - the charity working to end homelessness in Cornwall.
