Carn to Cove is Cornwall’s performing arts scheme for rural communities. We fill local sports halls, chapels and our wonderfully varied village halls with poetry, laughter, music, drama, stories and dancing. Local people choose the live shows they want to see and hear in their halls. This means we have loads of variety for everyone across Cornwall. We offers another tumultuous mix of superb live performances for spring 2010.

New commissions from Cornwall include John Brolly’s new storytelling show “Out of the Box”, Cube Theatre’s new play by Mark Crees “The Locksmith’s Wife”, and Bish Bash Bosh with “A Mere Interlude” while C-Scape’s “When The Shops Shut”, Bash Street’s “The Lion Tamer” and Bec Applebee’s “Oh Mary” continue their highly popular new productions which have been packing out Cornwall’s halls all winter.

We also present a varied range of international visitors – this season there is a strong emphasis on Scandinavian and Baltic dance and music – three bands from Denmark, Estonia and Poland bring distinctive new music to Cornwall – both from relative newcomers and international headline acts like Harald Haugaard…….yes in your village hall! All part of the Baltic Roots tour of the South West.

However Cornish bands are also on the road with newcomers to Carn to Cove Kabasa offering a Latin mix of Salsa and Jazz and Braga Tanga making a popular return to the scheme. Both offer music with dance in your local hall.

Barbershopera are back through heavy demand following last year’s show which won the Edinburgh Fringe Festival “Best Musical” award. Scottish and Irish tunes will be at the heart of Claire Mann and Aaron Jones’ show in Blisland.

And I still haven’t mentioned the Pantomime (Miracle), the puppets (Angel Heart), and Circus Berzercus in “Funny Business” – get booking online – where some tickets are free for young People!!!
