On Saturday 25th April Camborne Town Band would have been taking part in the annual Trevithick Day celebrations, which were sadly cancelled this year due to the continuing COVID-19 pandemic. The band have not performed together since becoming West of England Champions on 15th March, but that did not stop them from helping the town's celebrations to continue. With today's technology, the band were able to record a virtual performance of
Camborne Worthies, which 100's of performers normally dance to as they parade through the streets of Camborne.
The virtual video went online at 10:15, when the parade would have started, so that people at their homes could still dance along, and has been seen by nearly 16,000 people. We would like to thank Ben Stratford from
Mango Design for editing the video, and
Christopher Bond for the initial idea and his input in making this happen.
