Your help needed in making it four in a rowThis is an urgent call to all rock bands in Cornwall. For the past three years, the Cornish have won the PanCeltic Song Contest in Ireland. This international event draws musicians and song writers from Cornwall, Brittany, Isle of Man, Ireland, Scotland and Wales. Kernow now has a reputation of being the country to beat, so we need to up our game. We are looking for a song, and preferably a band with it to go across to the Pan Celtic Festival in Letterkenny, Ireland between 18th and 23rd April 2006 to compete. The song has to be sung in Cornish at the festival. But fear not, if you have a good song in English, then we can get it translated and give you help with pronunciation. We want to blow the rest of the Celtic world’s socks off for another year. If you think you have got what it takes, contact: Anne Kennedy Truscott 7 Trevecca Cottages Liskeard Kernow PL14 6RH Tel: 01579 343 447 / 07764 303638 kennedytruscott@btinternet.com ENDS. Notes. * The prize fund in Ireland is around €1500 (£967). * There is also some limited financial help from the Cornish branch of the Pan Celtic organisation. * The song must be an original composition and must never have been released on CD, tape, record or download before. |
