What’s on in Cornwall this June 2021

Hanterhir
Experience unique Cornish music at a Hanterhir gig.
‘A cacophony of Celtic wildness, granite and storms roaring across the grooves, sung in English and Cornish in an overwhelming Atlantic tsunami of sound’ a review written by Record Collector, that we think encapsulates what Hanterhir are all about. The band won an award at Gorsedh Kernow for their contribution to Cornish culture and was featured on BBC television and BBC Radio 1. If you’re looking for an unconventional Cornish band, don’t miss out on purchasing tickets to this unique performance.
