    Golowan is coming…

    So a few people will be late to the session at The Union for the next 6 weeks. This is due to Golowan Band Rehearsals! If you arrive at 8 and no one is there, don’t despair! People come to our session throughout the evening as and when they can. Last week we had 17 musicians – so if it’s busy draw up a chair from one of the tables and try to keep an aisle clear to the back of the pub.

    Have you ever wanted to a join a session but don’t quite understand how sessions work? Don’t worry, we don’t either, but this page might help you with some burning questions you might have.

    Feel free to come and chat to us, we are a well friendly bunch. If you’re new to folk music and you are a little nervous and unsure but want to have a go at joining in, let us know and we’ll try to help you where we can!

  • Montol is coming!

    Apologies for the radio silence, there has been a switching of devices. The trees are up, there’s frost in the air – sorry, typo – RAIN in the air, and our tartan clad hotel bar is looking very festive. Here in Penzance, we don’t just await Christmas, but it’s also the pagan midwinter solstice celebtration MONTOL on the 21st. So on the 20th we’ll be warming the place up with some dark and ghastly celtic tunes, along with any of the usual tunes and banter. Caroling encouraged!

    We’ll leave it on the following Tuesday (Boxing day) and see you in the new year.

    A very merry Christmas and a happy and healthy 2024 to all of our musicians and supporters.
