Bagas Fellyon

Cornwall’s fastest rising Nos Lowen Band

“A gloriously chaotic groove juggernaut! Bagas Fellyon (Cornish for ‘The Band of Fools’) experiment with and innovate within the growing Nos Lowen style of Cornish traditional Music.”

Bagas Fellyon is a collective of musicians brought together by the fiddle player Neil McMahon. Initially as a project to promote the album “Hitching Ships” by Cornish studio-based duo Fools Rock. Following this sell-out gig, the band soon took on a life of its own with its boisterous groove centric approach to Cornish Nos Lowen music.

William ‘Billy’ Pickin

William Pickin is a veteran folk singer and songwriter from North Staffordshire - he’s worked around the live music scene since the early seventies – Billy suffers from Tourettes which completely vanishes when he’s performing his beloved music – but his songwriting is outstanding including songs he wrote for The International Sea Shanty Festival Falmouth – ‘Jolly Old Sailors’, ‘The Privateer’, ‘Sailing Home’, he also wrote ‘William Billinge’ for the Peak rambling groups about a 112 year old soldier buried at Longnor church and the controversial song for Black History Month about ‘Thomas Corker’ the slave trader buried in Charles the Martyr Church, Falmouth. Billy plays in the band ‘Twangers & Bash’ and has done stints with Heymaker and Boneshaker.

Joanna Vyvyan
