Countrymen, The

Five seasoned musicians with tight four-part harmony vocals and a token Cornishman. With a relaxed and light-hearted presentation style we take the audience on a journey through the history and culture of Cornwall, featuring our own arrangements of traditional and contemporary songs, as well as an increasing amount of our own compositions. Interspersed with the occasional pop cover to lighten the mood when required, there is no mistaking that to a man, we love our county with a passion.

The band was formed at our local, The Countryman Inn near Launceston, which is where the band’s name originates. We soon found a mutual love of singing in harmony and almost accidentally developed a strong reputation for our emphasis on Cornishness in the repertoire.

We have been fortunate to have performed at some great festivals including Falmouth International Sea Shanty Festival, Bridport Folk Festival, Looe Saves The Day, Little Orchard Cider Festival, Falmouth Oyster Festival and Falmouth Week.

We have also built up a circuit of venues for our concert dates and are touring again in 2022.

In addition to offering quality performances on stage, we have also been busy in the recording studio and have released several online EPs to date, Cornish Lads Volumes 1, 2 and unsurprisingly 3. These are available for download and streaming on the usual websites, although you can listen to a sample of each right here

We have also produced two albums, “Trees on the Hill” and “The River Rolls On” featuring most of our Cornish material to date. Both are currently available on CD and the “Trees” album is also available for download and streaming in all the usual places.

For those into social media, you can find us on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. Your details will not be shared with a third party.
