Cornwall Folk Festival's opening night nos lowen (Cornish dance night) with music by Skillywidden. Skillywidden are the leading lights of the nos lowen style of Cornish Celtic dance music. In fact, some of Skillywidden's members were co-founders of this remarkable, revolutionary and hugely popular movement, in the late 1990s.
Born out of the internationally acclaimed Cornish band Dalla: Skillywidden are renowned for whipping up wildly enthusiastic festival and nos lowen dance crowds across Cornwall and beyond.
The line-up includes members of Dalla, as well as special guests drawn from the cream of Cornish musical talent, both from the world of traditional Cornish music, and from other genres too.
Skillywidden’s exhilarating performances convey the sheer joy they take in Cornwall’s indigenous culture.
"…a sonic swirl of pipes, fiddle, clarinet, bouzouki and trombone." (The Guardian)
