mg,
Unsung Heroes is a powerful musical documentary drama relating the true story of the fall and rise of Heligan, focusing on the men and women who made it. It is done in the style of the Radio Ballads of the 1950s.
The lost gardens of Heligan have a website that will tell you all about Heligan, but in precis, the gardeners who created this garden went away to WWI and few returned. The garden fell into disrepiar and was 'lost' until Tim Smit 'found it' and restored the gardens back to their former glory. A simple tale, but with a powerful message as relevant to man today as it was then.
The show is co written and performed by members of The Cornwall Songwriters, namely Mike O'Connor, Roger Bryant, Ron Openshaw, Jon Heslop, Tony Truscott and Lucy Burrow, with vocal support from Kathy Wallis and Kevin Burrow.
The Cornwall Songwriters have a website that will tell you all about them too.
Hope this helps.
Cheers, Lucy
