France Here We Come!

On Saturday 8th August Camborne Town Band will be making their way to Lorient in France for the Festival Interceltique. This festival is held every year where around 700,000 attend to watch performances of music and dance.

This year Cornwall and The Isle of Man are the main features.

Our first performance is on Sunday morning (9th) for the Grand Parade where we join around 3000 artists and march through the streets in front of around 60,000 people and finish at the main stadium. That afternoon we will be performing a concert in the stadium and then in the evening performing another concert in the Cornish Pavillion. On the Monday afternoon (10th) we have another concert in the stadium and the gala concert featuring all the Cornish/Isle of Man performers together. Then on Tuesday we travel back to Cornwall and prepare for our visit to the National Finals at the Royal Albert Hall in London.
