Lostwithiel Concert Series: Autumn/Winter Season – Folk Stories and Seafaring SongsFeaturing: Lore and Lament & Tealeaf
📅 Date: Weds 15th Oct
Doors at 7pm / Start at 7.30pm
📍 Location: St. Bartholomew's Lostwithiel
Join us for a spellbinding evening as the Lostwithiel Concert Series continues its Autumn/Winter season with two acts at the forefront of contemporary folk in Cornwall. With roots in ancient ballads, this double headline night showcases the deep power of song to tell stories, challenge the present, and evoke the past.
Tealeaf arose as a project out of session culture and a community of people living on, restoring and sailing traditional boats in Penryn. It began by discovering and interpreting traditional ballads that tied into the way communities and culture in Cornwall - where they are based - are changing. This led to writing new songs collaboratively that are a combination of original ideas and experiences and re-contextualising themes from the folk tradition that have weaved their way back into our day-to-day lives such as the housing crisis and the de-industrialisation of Cornwall. Ollie, Phylly and Tom use Cello, Bouzouki, Harmonium, Banjo and guitar, alongside their voices to build music full of rich harmony, warmth and dread.

Lore and Lament are Holly Anne Coles and Mitch Cartwright, seasoned performers, have united under their shared passion for folk music. Celebrating the rich tapestry of folkloric tradition, they breathe new life into timeless ballads and shanties while crafting original songs inspired by the captivating myths and legends of England and the Celtic nations. Their music offers a heartfelt tribute to storytelling through song, blending history and imagination into an enchanting, immersive experience.

From windswept legends to workers laments, this is folk music at its most raw and profoundly human.
