"The rhythmic, mesmerising music of Cornwall is gaining recognition thanks to groups like Dalla." "They welcome any new fiddle or other string players who'd like to join them" "I have always loved Cornish music and wished I could participate. The Horners project has given me an opening and ideas on how to be a part of my cultural roots." |
