Davey and Dyer at Wheal Martyn - Wheal Martyn Clay Works
Neil Davey and Jen Dyer are two of the leading proponents of Cornish traditional Celtic music and are members of internationally acclaimed Cornish band Dalla. Between them they have toured everywhere from Sydney to New York, Tokyo to Vancouver, participating in many prestigious festivals and venues across Europe, including The Royal Albert Hall, Glastonbury, Lorient Interceltic Festival and Celtic Connections amongst UK performances.
They love to bring it all back home, ‘where it do belong to be’ in their native Cornwall, and have performed in all the main Cornish arts festivals and celebrated venues such as The Minack Theatre, Eden Project, The Hall for Cornwall and Carnglaze Caverns as well as countless smaller venues.
They play bouzouki, fiddle and viola, and the repertoire of Cornish Celtic music, both new and old, ranges from stonking Celtic jigs, reels and polkas, to the exotic almost Balkan sound of some of the Cornish five-steps, as well as some heart-meltingly beautiful and hypnotic slower pieces.
As well as an opportunity to experience some fantastic music, this event helps support the charitable work Wheal Martyn Trust, with money raised from ticket sales contributing to our fundraising.
Bar open. Doors open at 6.30pm, performance starts at 7.00pm.
Tickets are £5.00 per person (age 12 and under free)

The Lamentable Cries of at Least 1500 Christians – Lecture - National Maritime Museum Cornwall
The Lamentable Cries of at Least 1500 Christians with Dr Jo Esra, Thursday 12 October, 7.30pm
Piracy was rife in the early modern Mediterranean, with the so-called ‘Barbary’ pirates of North Africa becoming notorious for their taking of people rather than goods. Captives were held for ransom or enslaved in the Islamic worlds of Morocco or Ottoman Tripoli, Tunis, and Algiers. From the 1620s, North African pirates extended their activities out of the Mediterranean and preyed upon the coasts of the West Country. Focusing on documentation within British archives, this talk will explore the experiences of captives, their families, and their communities, in addition to looking at the wider cultural and political impact of this form of piracy during the 17th century.
Dr Jo Esra is a Lecturer at the University of Exeter, specialising in 16th- and 17th-century maritime literature and culture.
