reviews

“The People String Foundation takes you by surprise-you think…fun loving guys filled with a sense of joie de vie !But very quickly you realise they’re much more than that-they are highly skilled musicians who combine virtuosity with a passion for genuine shared event…rare. 

 Mike Shepherd Artistic Director Kneehigh Theatre Company ****

 

 

“The vocal performances are remarkable and the orchestrations are inventive, exploratory and beautifully performed. The entire piece is fresh and youthfully enthusiastic with clear production values on a classical scale. Surely these musicians and this piece are worthy of consideration for this year's Mercury prize."

 Ralph McTell. **** 

 

 

“One of the great wonders of the West. Stonking, earthy, organic, delicate & barn-storming.”

 Charles Hazlewood, Conducter & Composer ****

civil disobedience charity ep

 

This release is an attempt to raise awareness of the suffering of the refugees in the Calais jungle, and inspire people to donate a minimum of £5 (or more) to Care4Calais.  They are a UK based charity, providing much needed support. 

"RIGHT NOW, AROUND 9000 REFUGESS FROM WAR-TORN AND POLITICALLY UNSTABLE COUNTRIES REMAIN 20 MILES FROM THE COAST OF DOVER, UK.

They are subject to appalling conditions with little access to water, food or sanitation. We have experienced great strength and kindness from the migrants in the Calais camps and have been overwhelmed with their tenacity.

But no human should be made to live like this and the conditions here are getting worse. Following the evictions the camp is severely overcrowded, our resources are stretched to their limits and we urgently need your help to continue distributing aid. Although governments do not recognise this as a humanitarian crisis, you can."

All profits from the EP will be donated each month to Care4Calais.

reviews and press

The show recieved great reviews from Cornish and national papers, The Times gave it a 4/5* and The West Briton 5/5*. 

Rogue theatre

The relationship between the "Rogues" and The People's String Foundation is a strong one.  Over the years the shows and music have forged an intoxicating mix of energetic, imaginative scenarios and rousing emotive anthems.

Voted in The Guardian's top 10 Christmas walks, this year's Winter Wood show returns for another December in the enchanted Tehidy Woods.  It is sure to be yet another inspiring collaboration between our two projects.
