Our fabulous men's group Maelstrom are showing Cornwall a taste of Lancashire. They are taking part in the Cornwall International Choral Festival and have been streaming live from a performance at Falmouth Maritime Museum.
Listen to the performance here
After three gruelling months of extra rehearsals Maelstrom are of to the Cornwall International Choral Festival. We have put together a great programme of songs which include "Sing your way home" by Antonin Dvorak which cleverly segues into the "Goin' Home" tune, "Run around Sue" with Jeff doing his impression of Dell Shannon and "Every time we say goodbye" arranged by our good friend David King. We have four concerts. Eden project, Pendennis Castle, Porthleven Methodist Chapel, National Maritime Museum Falmouth and much beer and busking! We will post loads of pics and videos on our Facebook page so watch and wish us luck.
