We welcome back the Falmouth Sound / Image Cinema lab @verdant_taproom on Tuesday 26th May. Free entry!

Along the the screening the night will also include a Q&A with Neil Halstead from Slowdive, the cast and crew and the Myskatonic founders.

Here are a few words from Ryan Mackfall from Myskatonic

“SICL is such a huge part of many of the films I’ve made, but another incredible addition are the musicians who come in to be a part of the story. One such person is Neil Halstead of the band Slowdive. Neil was an essential part in defining the atmosphere of ‘The Birdwatcher’ through his original soundtrack. Mixing synths, guitars and pianos he generated something truly strange and eerie that sits as a main component of the overall film. It’s drawn in many a comment from people at film festivals, causing a stir in just the right way. I’m honoured to get the chance to collaborate with him and naturally have been a long time fan of his music. Don’t miss out on the chance to hear the soundtrack yourself at Verdant on May 26th!”

For fifteen years, ALFOS has been one of dance music’s quietly devoted institutions. Founded by Sean and the late Andrew Weatherall in 2010, built on slow, hypnotic grooves, motorik patience, and a single guiding principle: “the music’s not for everyone.” After Andrew’s passing in 2020, Sean has carried it forward — the records, the temperament, the long-form approach that makes ALFOS what it is.

Four hours behind the decks. The kind of set you settle into rather than dip in and out of.

Saturday 1st August. Verdant Taproom, Penryn.

See you in the long hours

@falmouthreggaefestival x @verdant_taproom for the win!

Join us tomorrow evening @verdant_taproom for a FREE film screening of Gentle, Angry Women, followed by a Q&A with filmmaker @barbarasanti 🎬✨️

Watch as three young women retrace the march to Greenham Common, forty years on from the Women's Peace Protests.

"A really humbling story of collective women's activism and a roller coaster of emotions for the audience"

"In a time where young people are grappling with climate crisis, global conflicts and technological isolation, they need to see how previous generations of 'gentle, angry women' faced seemingly impossible odds and refused to give up"

7pm - see you there!

Join us for the Summer Solstice 🌞

A joyous celebration on the longest day of the year.
Sunday June 21st at the @verdant_taproom

Tickets just £10 to experience exceptional live music from…

@jimghedimusic
@isaac.i.ockenden
@wadmorris
An open folk session (get involved!)

Plus DJ sets from
@brewingfolk
@thefolkarchive
@the.stone.club

Jim Ghedi hails from Sheffield, South Yorkshire and although clearly well versed in the history of folk music, he stands out as a torch bearer for a new generation of respectful yet experimental performers. Jim’s sets go for delicate soaring vocals into cacophony of sound before dropping into massive instrumentals and thundering drums.

This is a Full Band Show!

Support will be Isaac.I.Ockenden Isaac, a scottish experimental ballad singer of sorts building haunting textured walls of crackling tapes, Pedal Harmonium, frailing banjo and howling vocals to create always different enigmatic journeys through lore, myth, imperialism, alcoholism and onward.

On top of all this we will be hosting a FREE to attend Folk session in the yard from 2pm.
And the WAD will be dancing from 6pm.

Tickets holders will then be inside for the live show from 7pm.

The WAD are a Falmouth-based Morris dancing side named after Joan the WAD, Queen of the Cornish Piskies.

Cornish folklore suggests that Joan the WAD would light people to safety, or sometimes peril, across the Cornish moors. The word ‘wad’ is often recorded as an old Cornish colloquial term for ‘torch’ or bundle of straw. Joan the WAD is now seen as a good luck charm to many.

Taking inspiration from Cornish folklore and Joan’s feisty and fiery nature, our all-female Morris side brings Joan the WAD energy and a modern, progressive take to a mixture of traditional border and cotswold dances.

The product of a youth misspent fine tuning teak panelled televisions and utilising the latest in top loading VHS technology – complete with wired remote – in order to watch umpteenth generation dubs of Video Nasty’s and obscure foreign language art house films, square-eyed resident DJ and Pour Decisions programmer Doug Shipton represents the third instalment in our soundtrack special triple-bill. As co-founder o @finderskeepersrecords, he has not only had a hand in recontextualising global pop history but also in liberating lost and previously unheard motion picture soundtracks from scenes as far as wide as Czech New Wave, Bollywood horror, and cult Italian giallo classics. His label also responsible for the first-ever pressings of the likes of Alejandro Joderowksy’s acclaimed psychedelic masterpiece The Holy Mountain, Andrzej Żuławski’s visceral psychological horror Possession, as well as the scores for cult TV classics The Moomins and One Summer. Culturally nurtured in an age before on-demand streaming services and online record directories - much like all screen junkies of a certain age searching for that black wax fix with limited means at their disposal - Doug’s pursuit of cinematic sounds is a wistful tale of J. R. Hartley ring arounds, optimistic back page want ads and bewildered record shop owners. However, all that hard work has since paid off as you can now count on the fact that Doug’s globetrotting DJ sets are always spliced with some of the heaviest and exotic soundtracks ever committed to wax via celluloid.

The Standing Stones are @towerblock1 & @jem.finer joined on their latest record by @ionazajac & @daraghlvnch

Following the standing of the Hurdy Stone at @neoancients The Standing Stones performed live, screened films and chatted with @matthew___shaw in an attempt to explain what all of this standing stones business means. Did they succeed in figuring it all out? Maybe! What is for sure is that the Hurdy stone and Gurdy stone stand and that Lunatronix is a beautiful thing. Find out more from @l13lightindustrialworkshop

A man seldom found behind a DJ booth these days - making this genuinely rare appearance all the more special - Alan Gubby’s resolute devotion to British electronica and Radiophonic experimentalism has rendered him in almost permanent self-imposed exile, in his perennial pursuit of cutting room floor castoffs and long-lost transmissions. As a producer and a musician Alan cranked out an impressive mid-90s/early-00s discography of everything from dubby acid jazz infused leftfield breaks to atmospheric big beat and trip-hop, under a slew of pseudonyms, through labels such as Leaf and Tru Thoughts as well as his own Nanny Tango and Kabal Agogo imprints. Informed by a fascination with early electronic music spoon fed to him through his favourite TV shows and films, in 2008 he would unearth BBC Radiophonic legend John Baker’s private tape archive and embark on a path that would mark the beginning of a long and fruitful working relationship with Jonny Trunk and lead to the foundation his own Buried Treasure Records. Providing both an outlet for his own personal recorded projects as well has beloved archival film scores and library records, his dedicated output over the past twenty years has come to represent a divining rod of sorts for his long-conceived multi-media paranoia concept project The Delaware Road - encompassing an illustrated novel, a compilation album, as well as two intimate audio/visual festivals held in suitably poignantly paranoid venues - the first at the Kelvedon Hatch Secret Nuclear Bunker in Essex, the second at a Ministry Of Defence training compound on Salisbury Plain.

Broadcaster, journalist, publisher, author, recording artist, DJ and proprietor of Trunk Records, Jonny Trunk has been hero to the unsung and recanonising mislaid cultural icons for so long he has since become one himself. Through his very idiosyncratic prism he has drawn together token doses of music, film, literature and graphic design to create a movement that goes far beyond any trite concept of kitsch. The man behind the first-ever releases of cult classic soundtracks for The Wicker Man, Kes, The Clangers, Dawn Of The Dead and The Tomorrow People, he is also responsible for reviving interest in the likes of Basil Kirchin, Delia Derbyshire and Michael Garrick, as well has being one of the earliest champions of the weird and wonderful world of library music. At a time when library records were the preserve of enlightened beat diggers, tele addicts and film buffs, Jonny was one of the very first to bring the world of production music to a wider public audience - with the first releases on the label mining the Bosworth library archives and then with the publication of the first of two books on the subject, The Music Library. A purveyor of the charmingly obscure, sometimes ludicrous but always wondrous, Jonny’s DJ sets are as promiscuous and thoroughly entertaining as the indispensable body of work he has produced over the past 30 years. As if Jonny’s resume wasn’t impressive enough, he is also the brains behind the annual Groovy Record Fayre, an essential London record fair held at the wonderfully archaic Mildmay Club.
