Welcome to Cornwall – the one you might not know about
July 26, 2023
Humourous yet gentlemanly poet, Gray Lightfoot, hosting the evening in between his wonderful poetry
Up Frogs by Ross James read by fantastic actor Trevenen Harry (he conjured up the narrator as a young boy wonderfully!)
The wonderful Kate Barden and Rob Erskine performing Gray Lightfoot’s play Sea Fear
The talented Catherine Leyshon reading her fun yet poignant story The Triumph of Goliathia Tremayne
‘It was remarked upon after the show that an event which highlighted the problems of modern Cornwall had been delivered with a light-hearted touch and much laughter had been heard throughout the evening.’ Gray Lightfoot

The performers donated the income for their readings to the Camborne, Pool and Redruth Foodbank who replied:
‘Thanks so much for this. I’ve just read the review and it chimes so closely with what we see through our work, and we are so grateful to you for choosing to support our charity with your creativity! We are aware that there are many other options in our area. The food bank is really busy at the moment, we are seeing year-on-year growth in service use and a decline in food donations through the cost-of-living crisis – so fundraising is a high priority for us. Contributions like this are so welcomed and appreciated by all of us here (staff and volunteers alike).
