Mike O’Connor and the Hantergantic Quartet

Mike O’Connor is a musician and storyteller who works nationwide. Mike lives in St. Ervan and has made the culture of Cornwall very much his own. He has done extensive research into early Cornish music and was central to the discovery and publication of the manuscripts of John Giddy and John Old. In 2002 he was made a Bard of the Gorsedh of Cornwall for services to Cornish music. With musical friends he now brings this music to life in a hugely entertaining illustrated talk. This lively programme takes us from about 1737 to 1850 through the medium of manuscripts found in Cornwall. The programme of music this evening is from the manuscripts of: John Giddy of Kea, c1735 Francis Prideaux of Padstow, c1790 Charles Bennett of Truro, 1765 Buller (?) of Morval House, c1770 Charles Bennett of Truro, 1765 John Old of Par, 1807 William Allen of St Ives 1815 et seq
