The Sound of Cornish Folk

“The Sound of Cornish Folk” offers a broad and down-to-earth mix of songs that represent the varied voices, traditions, and rhythms of Cornwall. The playlist combines well-known anthems like “Trelawny” from The Oggymen and “Cornwall My Home” in both The Fisherman’s Friends and The Countrymen versions, with traditional tunes, male voice choir arrangements, and contemporary folk interpretations. From the sea shanty stylings of The Stowes to the choral depth of the Mousehole Male Voice Choir, the mix reflects Cornwall’s strong ties to the sea, mining, and its Celtic roots.

Instrumental sets from groups like Dalla and Bucca sit alongside storytelling ballads from Brenda Wootton, Jim Causley, and Will Keating. There are modern takes too, like “Marazion (50.127932, -5.474548)” by KEYNVOR and Sebastian Plano, and the poetic “A Letter Home” by Harry Glasson. Spoken word interludes and regional dialect also feature, grounding the playlist even more deeply in place and tradition. It’s a solid introduction to Cornwall’s folk music landscape, both old and new.
