The New Washboard Syncopators was formed in West Midlands in 2003 with the traditional line up of trumpet, clarinet, trombone, banjo, string bass and percussion/washboard, playing the lesser known jazz tunes from the ’20s/’30s. In December 2015, the leader re-located to South East Cornwall.
Soon after, the band was reformed with established, well know jazz musicians from Devon and Cornwall. The current line up is Graham Trevarton (tpt), Dave Vaughan (clarinet,tenor sax), Ron Milford (trombone), John Baker (banjo), Jeff Burton (tuba), Tony Quinn (percussion, washboard, guitar). The tuba player originates from the USA and formerly employed by the Walt Disney Corporation as a musician. He now lives in Cornwall.
The band plays a variety of Trad and New Orleans jazz tunes with a hint of ’50s skiffle. Their main aim is to entertain the audience.

Welcoming back DAVID MYNNE with his new performance WIDDERSHINS!

WIDDERSHINS: a long-forgotten village buried deep in a dark corner of Cornwall. Here, Bob Droll (local raconteur and village-hall caretaker) will take you on a tour, where mystery lurks about every corner. But beware. The deeper Bob leads you into his forest of far-fetched fables, the more lost you might get.

WIDDERSHINS: ‘tis hard to find but even harder to leave…

Expect stories told with a sting, poetry cracked and darkly comic, unforgettable characters and physical theatre, alongside the usual irreverence, wit and silliness. It will be dark, delirious and delightful.

Under Milk Wood-ish, sort of… only waayyy weirder!
