The Cornwall Songwriters newest production,'UNSUNG HEROES - The Lost Gardeners of Heligan' - Has its premier performance this weekend (5th & 6th June) at The Lost Gardens of Heligan. There are I believe still some tickets left for the Sunday performance, if anyone is interested.

The tale of the beautiful gardens at Heligan, lost when the gardeners went away and were lost to war, the gardens then found and resurrected to their former glory, provides a powerful parable - a metaphor for life. It is now many years since the garden's creators left us. The magnificently re-created gardens are part of their legacy - but their story is also a gift to us all. An amazing story, with wonderful music and songs, an incredible rollercoaster of emotions!

The story follows the format of the Ewan McColl & Charles Parker style 'Radio Ballads' but the format originally dependent on recording, editing and overdubs has now been turned into riveting live drama. Songs which are in turn powerful, lyrical & inspiring tell the story and convey the emotions - and narrative gives context and scope.

This is an unashamed plug! I, as one of the newest members of the songwriters am very proud of what we have produced and hope very much that you will enjoy it as much as we have enjoyed creating and performing it!
Cheers,
Lucy
