Thread Name: BS: St Piran's Day [5th March]
Subject: RE: BS: St Piran's Day [5th March]
I just saw this post on a harp email group I belong to - don't think he'll mind if I quote his message:
Happy St. Piran's Day to you all. For those of
you unfamiliar with this saint, he is the patron of
tin miners and the patron saint of Cornwall. For more
information see
http://www.st-piran.com/st-piran.htm
An appropriate way to celebrate would be
(1) to eat a Cornish Pasty
http://www.cornishpastyassociation.co.uk or
http://www.cornishlight.co.uk/cornish-pasty.htm
(2) to look at Charles Winpenny's wonderful daily
photos of Cornwall
http://www.cornwallcam.co.uk
(3) to explore Cornish music at
www.an-daras.com
lots of Cornish tunes with midi files, etc.
(4) to play Cornish tunes on the harp.
