We are a Cornish production Company with a determination to record and preserve the very best of the Tradition of Cornwall.
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, the 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

In June 2009 we made a souvenir film of the Royal Cornwall Show, one of the three largest agricultural shows in Britain. The three days are compressed into just 70 minutes, with footage of most (if not all) the aspects of this 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.
DVD Video. 72 minutes. Pal

The Cadgwith Singers, who. . . .sing at Cadgwith! recorded their new CD of traditional Cornish and other songs in December 2008. The cover is an original by Andre Ellis in the style of a cartoon showing the regulars in full song.
The CD has 27 tracks recorded in two sessions, the usual bar room versions, and a few 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.
