What's on in Quintrell Downs

Cornwall, England

Share:

Quintrell Downs sits quietly in Cornwall where the sea air is thick enough to taste and the pace of life matches the gentle rolling hills. There aren't many big venues listed here just yet but that doesn't mean the local scene isn't buzzing with community spirit and friendly faces. We keep an eye on what's coming through so you don't have to waste time hunting for a good night out or a family day trip. The village feels like it has always been there waiting for you to wander in and see what the neighbours are up to. Even without a long list of famous halls right now, the local character shines through in every corner of this Cornish spot. Near Here is here to tell you when things start moving again so you can plan your weekend around the real stuff happening down by the coast.

Daniel Martinez Flamenco Company - Art of Andalucia

Daniel Martinez Flamenco Company - Art of Andalucia

Following the success of his first two productions, which have captivated over 100,000 audience members across the UK, Ireland, and Germany in the last two years, Daniel Martinez returns with a new show that places flamenco dance at the forefront. "ART OF ANDALUCIA" shifts the focus entirely to the art of flamenco dance, offering audiences an immersive experience where the dancers take centre stage, bringing the passion and energy of Andalucia to life. If that weren’t enough, Daniel will also perform new pieces from his highly anticipated third album. One of the stars of this production is the world-renowned dancer Angel Reyes, a key member of Manuel Linan’s company and the second dancer in Jesus Carmona’s company for many years. Angel’s impeccable technique, skill, and fiery passion will captivate and mesmerise, elevating the performance to an unmissable cultural experience. His powerful presence and artistry bring an electric energy to the stage. Joining Angel is Gabriela Pouso, the principal dancer of the Daniel Martinez Flamenco Company. Gabriela has played an instrumental role in the company’s success, performing on some of the UK’s most prestigious stages. Her performances are filled with elegance, grace, skill, and intensity, showcasing her remarkable technique and drawing audiences in with every movement. The dancers will perform to original compositions by Daniel Martinez, created specifically for this show.

Martin Simpson

Martin Simpson

One of England’s most revered folk performers, widely acknowledged as one of the finest acoustic and slide guitar players in the world, Martin's interpretations of traditional songs are masterpieces of storytelling. His remarkable solo shows are intense, eclectic, spellbinding and deeply moving. Always prolific, and never one to rest long without a guitar in his hands and a song in his head, Martin Simpson continues to travel the length and breadth of the UK and beyond giving rapt audiences passion, sorrow, love, beauty, tragedy and majesty through his remarkable intimate solo performances. Martin has been nominated an astounding 32 times in the 18 years of the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards - more than any other performer - and has won numerous awards. Martin’s latest solo album, Skydancers, was released on Topic Records in April 2024. The album is a twin release featuring a live CD recorded on recent gigs and a studio CD including some of Martin's absolutely favourite musicians. Last year’s album with Nashville’s Thomm Jutz, Nothing But Green Willow : The Songs Of Mary Sands And Jane Gentry, received superlative reviews from both sides of the Atlantic. “Drizzling with Simpson’s shining guitars” The Guardian "A record of rare power and significance” 9/10 Guitarist A virtuoso player without question, but above all Martin Simpson conveys his diverse treasure trove of material from the heart, performing with rare subtlety, intensity and honesty. A true master of his art.
