Tam Kernewektam Tam Kernewek “ A bit of Cornish” Volume 30 Issue 4 Winter 2012 The Cornish Gathering 2014 The big news of this issue of Tam Kernewek is the announcement of our next Gathering. When no one came forward during the past year, the CAHS officers decided that we could wait until 2014 (if need be) to have a gathering, allowing any organization enough time to put things together. This change would also resolve conflicts the Gathering has had with other major Cornish events during the odd-numbered years. In September we had two organizations who were thinking about stepping forward. I’d like to thank the Toronto Cornish Association for their considerable reflection for hosting the event. The Gathering 2014 will be hosted by The Cornish Society of Greater Milwaukee. The Cornish So- ciety will team up with John Gleeson and the Celtic Studies Center at the University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee. John is the co-director of the Center and senior lecturer at the University. Joe Trewyn had the spark of an idea to include the Center in the planning, and this has lighted up new possibili- ties. Milwaukee offers a rich, urban setting with multiple opportunities. The university offers a body of knowledgeable (and younger) Celtic enthusiasts. Joe thinks it may be a bit of a departure from previous Gatherings, but the university connection also opens up new doors to promote Corn- wall and Cornish culture. Co-chairs Maribeth Sullivan and Katherine Herman are just beginning to work on details. Please make sure you keep late summer 2014 open for the Gathering! Thanks to the Cornish Society of Greater Milwaukee for taking this on! Have you seen the new look of our website: www.cousinjack.org? It looks great! The site is easy to navigate and the pictures bring a wonderful showing of our Cornish activities and the best of Cornwall. Be sure to check it out! “Meur rasta” to Ron Carbis and others for the new appearance. As we reach the end of 2012, I wish you all good health and peace. Cornish American Heritage Society Cornish American Heritage Nadelik Lowen ha Blydhen Nowydh Da! Tom 61 Dr. Benjamin Bruch to Teach an Introductory Cornish Language Course in Mineral Point What is the Cornish language? Like many places in Britain, Cornwall has its own dialect of English, and many people there still use dialect words or speak with a Cornish accent. But Kernewek, the Cornish language, is something else entirely: like Irish, Gaelic, and Welsh, Cornish is a Celtic lan- guage, as different from English as French, German, or Russian. After centuries of decline, Cornish is making a comeback, and Corn- wall’s national language is now beginning to be taught in schools and used on street signs alongside English. Why learn Cornish? Some study Cornish to reconnect with their own Cornish ancestors. Others are drawn to it by the lure of the landscape and the mu- sic of exotic place-names like Goonhilly, Landewednack, Lostwithiel, Praze-an-Beeble, and Trelowarren. About the instructor: Dr. Benjamin Bruch, a world-renowned authority on Celtic studies, will offer a short introductory course in the Cornish language at the Pendarvis historic site in Mineral Point in March and April 2013. A native of Wisconsin, Dr. Bruch currently lives and works in Iowa. Dr. Bruch was made a Bard of the Cornish Gorsedd in 1998 and played a key role in developing the new standard spelling system for Cornish which was adopted in 2008. A graduate of the Department of Celtic Languages and Literatures at Harvard Uni- versity, he has taught Cornish and other Celtic languages to students of all ages at schools, colleges, and cultural events in the Unit- ed States, Great Britain, Germany, and Austria. About the course: The Cornish course will be held at the Pendarvis Historic Site in Mineral Point on two Tuesdays and two Saturdays in March and April. The first of these sessions will begin with a special presentation on the Cornish language and St. Piran’s Day (Cornwall’s na- tional holiday, celebrated annually on March 5. Tuesday, March 5, 12:30-1:30 PM - The Cornish Language and St. Piran’s Day - FREE Tuesday, March 5, 2:00-8:00 PM - Cornish Language Course, Session One Saturday, March 16, 9:00 AM-4:30 PM - Cornish Language Course, Session Two Tuesday, April 2, 12:30-8:00 PM - Cornish Language Course, Session Three Saturday, April 27, 9:00 AM-4:30 PM - Cornish Language Course, Session Four Each session of the language course includes a one-hour break for lunch or dinner. Each session will include a review of all previous material as well as adding new material. As a result, even students who can only attend a single session will be able to acquire a basic knowledge of contemporary spoken Cornish. All participants will also receive a course pack containing handouts, lessons, and other Cornish language resources. Registration and costs for the language course: Adult - $30 per session ($120 for all four) Student (age 12 through high school) - $10 per session ($40 for all four) Age 11 and under - Free To register, please send a check (payable to the Cornish Language Class, Richard Baker, Chairman) to Richard Baker, 1520 Coventry Court, Reedsburg, WI 53959.

Construction of Agricultural Building, Greenhouse Building & Associated Works on 35 Acre Farm. My client has recently established planning permission for a replacement farmhouse dwelling at his property ‘Pengelly’ with the land acquisition of 35 acres of surrounding land as indicated on our planning proposal. The need for the agricultural buildings is justified with the following processes. 1. Lambing Shed. 2. Potting shed and greenhouse to grow vegetables. 3. Various farming machinery. 4. The restoration of the land is currently undergoing a vast 650 tree planting scheme 5. The agricultural building will naturally need to be used as feed storage for the animals, as well as lambing and various other agricultural related activities. After conducting research of the site and surrounding area it has been noted that recent development sites have been approved within the area.

There are picturesque harbours and grand country houses set in vast acreages. There are impressive landmarks from the past such as Tintagel Castle, St Michael’s Mount and more standing stones and Neolithic sites than you can shake a stick at. They exist happily alongside the present day futuristic domes of Eden, the stately grey bulk of Tate St Ives, old Mine chimneys (sensibly bestowed with World Heritage status) and the spoil heaps of the clay pits near St Austell. 35 BEST OF CORNWALL 2020 However there is more to Cornwall’s appeal than It was clear that luck landmarks.

  • Meeting Report
    Traditional Song Forum Meeting, 19th February 2009 held at Exeter Meeting Report Chair: Martin Graebe This was our first meeting in the South-West and it was well attended (over thirty people in the afternoon) and enjoyable, with some interesting presentations from Devon and the neighbouring counties. Member's Activities After an introduction by our hosts, Marilyn Tucker and Paul Wilson of Wren Trust, the meeting started with our usual review of recent activity by those present. Andy Rouse was visiting from Hungary, though he had been a student at Exeter and knew the cities pubs well. He has now been teaching there for 30 years. He was passing through on his way to a conference in Corunna where he was planning to sing about the burial of Sir John Moore. He reminded us that Pécs, where he teaches, will be the cultural capital of Europe in 2010 and looks forward to welcoming TSF members to celebrate. Marilyn Tucker is the Chief Executive of Wren Music and also sits on the Folk Roots and Traditional Music Section of the Musicians Union. She is also on the steering group for the Folk and World Music Initiative started recently in the South-West Region. She visited Andy in Pécs as part of a Devon Cultural contingent last year. She reported that Wren have just heard from the Heritage Lottery Fund that they have been awarded a significant sum to digitise the Baring-Gould folk song manuscripts and get them onto the Web and, as part of the same project, to digitise and put online the Paul Wilson collection of recordings made in Devon over the last 30 years.

  • Summary of Sensory Team Manager Duties
    Link to thesis website Chapter 6 Competing speech communities Chapter 6 Competing speech communities The final chapter of this section focuses on the evolution of folk tradition, and the new spaces created for performance, within the Celto-Cornish movement through the latter half of the twentieth century to the current era of festival culture and Pan- Celticism. It makes the case that the Celto-Cornish movement and the folk revival that arrived in Cornwall in the sixties represent different speech communities, which competed for ownership of oral folk tradition and the authenticity it represented. It must be also be recognised that there is a third speech community with a stake in the celebration of tradition, the local community within which it takes place. One outcome of these competing speech communities is the way in which the same folk phenomena will be used to express quite different identities. The Padstow May Day festivities for example are a celebration that firstly represents a sense of the towns community1 and secondly a Celto-Cornish tradition2 but at the same time is used as an icon by the English Folk Dance And Song Society.3 Underlying this discussion, however, must be the recognition that identity is chaotically unique for each individual and each group of individuals, all of which are at the centre of a “complex web of being”.4 In order to pursue this argument it is first necessary to revisit and examine more closely what is meant by a speech community and how this might affect performance and meaning within oral folk tradition.

  • It Just Belongs to Be! Traditional Music and Cornish Identity London Cornish Association Rosyer Lecture 11Th July 2008 Merv Davey “It Just Belongs to Be”
    “It Just Belongs To Be” It Just belongs to be! Traditional Music and Cornish identity London Cornish Association Rosyer Lecture 11th July 2008 Merv Davey “It Just Belongs To Be” Abstract This presentation first explores the early roots of Cornish Folk Music, what is the significance the Cornish Carol tradition and who were the musicians and dancers represented on the 16th Century bench ends at Altarnon Church. Following on from this the activities of the late early 20th century British Folk Revivalists in relation to Cornish tradition are considered together with the quite different approach taken by the Celtic revivalists in Cornwall. Lastly we will look at the ongoing traditions of today and how they reflect both the past and modern Cornish identity. “It Just Belongs To Be” Folk A genre of music derived initially from a 19th C folkoric notion of a rural cultural idyll which embraced a broader “peoples music” mindset from the 1950s to include industrial songs and an increasing body of newly composed material in “folk Style”. In the past 40 years it has been increasingly driven by commercial and artistic interests so that it is useful to distinguish the term from “tradition “It Just Belongs To Be” Tradition The active process by which a phenomena such as a tune, song or custom changes and evolves within community usage as it is transmitted from one person to the next and one generation to the next. Although influenced by popular, commercial and art culture, it is ultimately driven by the experiences, perceptions and values of a community or an individual reflecting that community “It Just Belongs To Be” Cornish Identity Identity is a sense of being defined by an individual or groups perceptions and understanding of their relationship with other individuals or groups.

  • Britishness, What It Is and What It Could Be, Is
    COUNTY, NATION, ETHNIC GROUP? THE SHAPING OF THE CORNISH IDENTITY Bernard Deacon If English regionalism is the dog that never barked then English regional history has in recent years been barely able to raise much more than a whimper.1 Regional history in Britain enjoyed its heyday between the late 1970s and late1990s but now looks increasingly threadbare when contrasted with the work of regional geographers. Like geographers, in earlier times regional historians busied themselves with two activities. First, they set out to describe social processes and structures at a regional level. The region, it was claimed, was the most convenient container for studying ‘patterns of historical development across large tracts of the English countryside’ and understanding the interconnections between social, economic, political, demographic and administrative history, enabling the researcher to transcend both the hyper-specialization of ‘national’ historical studies and the parochial and inward-looking gaze of English local history.2 Second, and occurring in parallel, was a search for the best boundaries within which to pursue this multi-disciplinary quest. Although he explicitly rejected the concept of region on the grounds that it was impossible comprehensively to define the term, in many ways the work of Charles Phythian-Adams was the culmination of this process of categorization. Phythian-Adams proposed a series of cultural provinces, supra-county entities based on watersheds and river basins, as broad containers for human activity in the early modern period. Within these, ‘local societies’ linked together communities or localities via networks of kinship and lineage. 3 But regions are not just convenient containers for academic analysis.
