Our 2008 film "Invitation to The Dance" was highly acclaimed both in Cornwall and worldwide, telling the story of the Helston Flora Day celebrations. A timeless film which does not try to be a souvenir of the year it was recorded, but instead is an extremely detailed record of the build up to Flora Day, vidthe preparation and decoration, the choice of costume, and the rehearsals, with points of view from "those who know" and those in charge.
All the important aspects of the day are here, from the assembly in the guildhall of dancers before the first dance of the day, the Hal-An-Tow in detail from start to finish, the spectacle of the gloriously costumed midday dance and after the last dance of the day - the "servants" dance, we follow the clean up from 0400 the next morning

The three days are compressed into just 70 minutes, with footage of most (if not all) the aspects of rcs videothis event. There are short excerpts available elsewhere on this site, including breakfast cooked in the firebox of a steam traction engine, a flying man, and a few other clips from the show.
A light hearted view of this spectacular event.

The CD has 27 tracks recorded in two sessions, the usual bar room versions, and a fewcad cd  select songs from a concert given locally.
Most listeners will know many of the songs, and to hear them from this unrehearsed group will undoubtedly bring a tear to the eye.

The Falmouth International Shanty Festival

Around 400 singers, of shanties, forebitters, sea songs, and others, performed in eight pubs in the town over three days. For some, the glory of a stage in the new events square, but for most it was plenty!

This film is of those live performances, limited only by the time available on the disk. In all 34 songs are featured sung by groups as diverse as is possible, from Holland, Germany, Guernsey, East Anglia, Devon, and of course from Cornwall.

Just 59 seconds shy of 2 hours, this is the ONLY shanty film, devotees will love it!
