DINNER & JAZZ at The Old School with The New Washboard Syncopators
The New Washboard Syncopators was formed in West Midlands in 2003 with the traditional line up of trumpet, clarinet, trombone, banjo, string bass and percussion/washboard, playing the lesser known jazz tunes from the '20s/'30s. In December 2015, the leader re-located to South East Cornwall.
Soon after, the band was reformed with established, well know jazz musicians from Devon and Cornwall. The current line up is Graham Trevarton (tpt), Dave Vaughan (clarinet,tenor sax), Ron Milford (trombone), John Baker (banjo), Jeff Burton (tuba), Tony Quinn (percussion, washboard, guitar). The tuba player originates from the USA and formerly employed by the Walt Disney Corporation as a musician. He now lives in Cornwall.
The band plays a variety of Trad and New Orleans jazz tunes with a hint of '50s skiffle. Their main aim is to entertain the audience.

Welcoming back DAVID MYNNE with his new performance WIDDERSHINS!
WIDDERSHINS: a long-forgotten village buried deep in a dark corner of Cornwall. Here, Bob Droll (local raconteur and village-hall caretaker) will take you on a tour, where mystery lurks about every corner. But beware. The deeper Bob leads you into his forest of far-fetched fables, the more lost you might get.
WIDDERSHINS: ‘tis hard to find but even harder to leave...
Expect stories told with a sting, poetry cracked and darkly comic, unforgettable characters and physical theatre, alongside the usual irreverence, wit and silliness. It will be dark, delirious and delightful.
Under Milk Wood-ish, sort of... only waayyy weirder!
Tickets:
Adult - £12 / Under 18's - £8
Suitable for ages 12+

THEATRE @ THE OLD SCHOOL WELCOMES.....
"SECRETS OF A HIDDEN REALM" - SQUASHBOX THEATRE
supported by Carn to Cove
Doors open at 6.30pm for 7pm start. We have a fully licensed bar.
What if there was a parallel dimension where the giants, faeries, piskies and other magical creatures from Cornish stories really existed?
For centuries, a mysterious covert organisation has been investigating this ‘Hidden Realm’ from its top secret base above Poundland in Camborne, and rumour has it they are trying to create a portal between the worlds…
But the time for secrecy is over. Tonight we will open the archives, release the secret files, and learn the truth about the Hidden Realm – whatever the consequences!
‘Secrets of the Hidden Realm’ delves into the strange, dark and beguiling world of Cornish folklore, using a blend of storytelling, comedy and ingenious puppetry. It combines a deep reverence for the history and mythology of Cornwall with absurd humour and a dash of Cosmic Horror. (Imagine if ‘The X Files’ was set in Redruth, or Cthulhu appeared in Marazion…)
‘Secrets of the Hidden Realm’ is written and performed by Craig Johnson, Penzance-based actor, musician and puppeteer. Under the name Squashbox Theatre he has been creating marvellous, quirky and inventive family shows for over 18 years.
This is Squashbox Theatre's first show for adults & older children! (recommended age 12+)
Tickets:
Standard Adult - £12
Under 18's - £8
Family - £35 (2 Adults & 2 Children)
Supporter tickets £15 (this includes a donation to Carn to Cove to bring more subsidised future shows to Cornwall)
Suitable for ages 12+
Tickets can be booked online:
