Cornish Song writing legends Harry Glasson and Will Keating come to Bude for the first time in many years
Harry Glasson Singer/Songwriter of the iconic Cornish anthem Cornwall My Home. Born in Leedstown 1951, ex merchant seaman, formed the Safari Brothers in 1990. Contracted throat cancer, which necessitated vocal cord removal in 2009. He is now back singing his iconic songs once again, thanks to the advances in speech valve technology. He is very much an influence to, and supporter, of many Cornish artists.
Will Keating is an award-winning singer-songwriter, musician/performer touring solo/duo and with Carrick Bend; also one of The Oggymen
Will Keating’s passion for his home county of Cornwall shines through his music. The award-winning singer-songwriter, also one of the members of popular Cornish male singing group The Oggymen, has wowed audiences far and wide since embarking on a solo career in 2017. Two sold out headline performances at the iconic Minack Theatre cemented Will’s reputation as one of Cornwall’s stand-out performers. Will is also known for his involvement in various community projects, including organising and performing at various events, workshops and cultural festivals. His contributions to the community often extend beyond music, promoting Cornish culture and supporting local initiatives.
Will can often be found singing with a Falmouth based, male vocal group known as The Oggymen, who are highly regarded for their sense of humour, beautiful four part harmonies, and heartfelt songs. In 2016, Will took the decision to also try his luck at gigging alone with Acoustic Guitar and stomp box. Totally inspired by Cornwall’s rich History and Heritage, and the songs penned by his mentor Harry “Safari” Glasson, he hit the road! Will combines Harry’s, and his own songs, with traditional Cornish and Celtic folk songs and has received accolades from far and wide.
There will be a licensed bar and advance order pasties available
