Dale Storr - The Sounds of New Orleans

“A very, very fine piano player indeed” – Paul Jones, BBC Radio 2 “Dale is the best New Orleans player I’ve ever heard” –Richard Hawley Described by Jazz Journal magazine as the ‘piano man’s piano man…’ and ‘a national treasure’, Dale Storr’s musical journey has now brought him recognition as one of the UK’s leading exponents of New Orleans piano. Immersed in the styles of heroes like Dr John, James Booker, Professor Longhair, Allen Toussaint, Fats Domino and Huey ‘Piano’Smith, he established himself in his early career as a highly sought after pianist backing many top blues stars from the UK and America. But keen to follow his true passion, Dale went solo in 2008 with his now acclaimed ‘Sounds of New Orleans’ show and has not looked back since. In 2023 he opened the Buxton International Jazz Festival, his music has been played on BBC Radio 2 (Cerys Matthews, Paul Jones), BBC Radio 6 (Cerys Matthews) and BBC Radio 3 (Jazz Record Requests) and he has released three solo albums in the last decade. Dale’s latest show is a celebration of the music of New Orleans piano legends Dr John and James Carroll Booker, two of Dales biggest musical influences. Incorporating piano mastery and mesmerising storytelling, he draws in the audience with the rich history behind the music and the captivating,sometimes risqué stories of his much-loved piano heroes. “Incredible…Never seen anybody play like that…only James Booker”–British Blues legend Victor Brox “If there is a better New...

11 October: Lantivet Duo

The Lantivet Duo is Cornish violinist Anna Brigham and Scottish pianist Brendan Musk. They bring a fresh, contemporary approach to the violin and piano duo, combining excellence in performing traditional repertoire with writing their own music. At the heart of their collaboration is the desire to explore. Their roots in classical, folk, jazz, pop and funk music combined with boundless creativity have earned them critical acclaim, with Classic FM hailing them as “one of the best things to see.” Together, they captivate audiences with a spellbinding blend of traditional and original pieces. Their exceptional programming is completely unique and has been described as “genuinely original and exploratory”. The duo take a concept or a classical work and explode it outwards, exploring deep into what inspired the composer and using it as inspiration for their own music. Contemporary folk traditions, family life, environment, personal obsessions – there are so many influences in any composer’s work. Using this as a jumping off point, the duo write their own music and arrange traditional folk tunes, which when paired with the classical work, reflects back to create a deeper, richer experience of the piece. Individually, Anna and Brendan have thriving freelance careers.

The Struggle for Calstock Viaduct

Calstock Arts are delighted to host the launch screening of a new documentary film by Neil Gallacher: The Struggle for Calstock Viaduct. It cost huge amounts of time and money. It may have cost lives. And it cost one man his reputation. But it gave us the Tamar Valley as we know and love it today. This short film draws on an outstanding collection of stills in Calstock Parish Archive to tell the story of the long engineering struggle to build the viaduct. Much of it was a battle deep underwater to create the foundations on the riverbed. Despite its troubled beginnings, the viaduct is a crowning success of Edwardian railway engineering. Today it’s one of the outstanding survivors from that era. The valley and the village would be unimaginable without it. The black and white stills at the heart of the film were taken by a shopkeeper in Calstock Fore Street, Frederick Paul, who sold them as postcards. His descendants have made his pictures available through the Archive, and this is the first time they’ve been brought to life in this way. The evening will include a talk by Neil, who is a retired BBC TV correspondent, and a Q&A led by retired Civil and Structural Engineer Vic Harman, a trustee of Calstock Parish Archive and author of “Calstock Viaduct, 100 Years and More. Our timings should suit anyone looking to come and go by train, whether coming down from Gunnislake, or up over the viaduct itself.
