I agree it was good although I only popped down saturday afternoon. It was difficult with young kids I would like to see more to stimulate & involve children. Pity about the rain maybe there could be a lot more on a bright summers weekend. I was a bit peeved about not being able to listen to the Jazz as no children allowed in the union - but we did have our sandwhichs on a wet bench outside so i could hear a bit!!

There was a good range of music to suit all tastes...I too hope it gets bigger and better! My only quibble was that the children I had visiting, who are keen musicians, and jazz fanatics, couldn't go in the pub to see the more jazzy stuff and there was very little going on outside due to the weather, so limited to ashtorre and whatever was going on in there.The early music stuff was interesting though and Tom Anfield's talk about his guitars was fascinating. We were expecting more stalls and activities outside but hopefully it will develop over the next few years.

The co.uk website is not the official website, though it does have most of the information on it. the official website is the one ending in org.uk. I have been told this by Andy at Livewire. either way come down to see music for free, by the waterside in Cornwall. what more could you want.
