Saturday 10th March 2012	LONDON - Kernow in the City After two successful years at the ICA, London’s celebration of Cornish music and art Kernow In The City returns on 10th March for its third year, in a new home – the Rich Mix arts venue in Shoreditch. Port Eliot favourites Murray Lachlan Young, Louis Eliot & The Embers (above) and The Loose Salute are joined by fresh Cornish talent Rosie Vanier, Crowns and indie-folk troubadour Ruarri Joseph. There will also be a film showcase, a chance to learn to speak Cornish and contributions from visual artists – plus proper Cornish pasties and the region’s finest ale. The perfect way to celebrate St Piran’s Day. Tickets £10 in advance from Rich Mix / 020 7613 7498 or £12 on the door. And if you want to grab a taste of Louis Eliot & The Embers‘ rip-roaring hoe-down good times before heading to the show at Rich Mix, you can download their track ‘Runaway Night.’ Former frontman of Kinky Machine and Rialto, Louis and his brilliant band The Embers serve up a “winning blend of rustic charm and urban cool…a savvy pop brain with the lyrical articulacy of a Costello or a Weller” (Uncut).

Monday 5 March 2012	ST PIRANS DAY IN BODMIN ST PIRANS DAY IN BODMIN Bodmin’s thirteenth St Piran’s Day celebrations will take place on Monday 5 March featuring the traditional parade which will assemble outside the Barley Sheaf in Higher Bore Street at 10:15 am and progress with Cornwall's new Lord Lieutenant, Colonel Edward Bolitho, to the accompaniment of a pipe band to Mount Folly where Trelawny will be sung after the loudest “Oggy Oggy Oggy” chants in Cornwall and some short speeches. Once again children from all of Bodmin's schools are the most important part of the day's celebrations. In addition to taking part in the march, chanting, dancing and singing, they will be performing in St Petrocs Church after the march and contributing to a painting competition which will be on display in Shire Hall from 24 February. Bodmin Lion Kevin Marshall who chairs the committee which has been organising Bodmin's 2012 St Piran's Day said: “Once again Bodmin will be the only place to be on St Piran's Day. What makes Bodmin so special is that we base our day around our children who are the future of Cornwall. Their enthusiasm is infectious bringing Cornwall's traditions alive in a unique way not seen anywhere else. My committee is delighted that Cornwall's new Lord Lieutenant has chosen to come to Bodmin on Cornwall's most special day.” As in previous years Bodmin is expecting to welcome Cornishmen and women from London, Bournemouth and around the country to take part. Keith Truscott who helped set up the first St Piran's Day and has been keenly involved ever since said: “Bodmin's St Piran's day gets better every year . What will be new this year is a painting competition which will be displayed in Shire Hall. We have raised money to gives prizes for the best entries. We are more interested in paintings that capture the spirit of Cornwall and St Piran than finding artistic masterpieces.” TIMETABLE 10:15 am Assemble Lower Bore Street, Bodmin outside the Barley Sheaf 10:30 am March down Lower Bore St, Fore Street to Mount Folly stopping at the Flamank Stone – accompanied by Cornish Piper Band led by Mervyn Davey Mount Folly Speakers Introduced by Bodmin Town Crier, Nick Prideaux: Ralph Solomons Mayor Of Bodmin Col Edward Bolitho, Lord Lieutenant of Cornwall Mick Paynter, Grand Bard Children’s Dance arranged by Alison Davey and Songs led by Keith Truscott 11:10 am Children progress via Priory Park to St Petrocs Church where they will perform Cornish plays and songs.
