Hannah Maxwell presents TURN YOUR F***ING PHONES OFF

Falmouth The Tolmen Centre · Constantine

Fresh from a sellout award-winning run at the Fringe this summer we welcome back Hannah with her acclaimed new show. The title sounds like an instruction, but is actually a note to self. It's her own phone she is worried about - the hold it has on her and the data she provides it with. As she goes into digital detox she retreats from doomscrolling and dopamine hits but has an even greater fear of what she sees as a fundamental assault on democracy. In this tremendous show she delivers this analysis with equal parts fervour and merriment! Here are some awards for this show from the Fringe: Fringe First, Stage Fringe Five, Bragi Award and List, LGBTQIA+ Award shortlist - and numerous four and five star reviews. Check out Hannah's own website for details Pre show suppers available from Cafe Tolmen Phone Barbara on 01326 340630 to book

Peter Knight's Gigspanner Trio

Falmouth The Tolmen Centre · Constantine

Peter Knight has been a mainstay of the British folk scene since his inaugural performance with the fledgling Steeleye Span in 1970. The Gigspanner Trio is the beating heart from which all other lien-ups have evolved, and the one most loved for the intimacy and joy manifest in their virtuosic performances, and the almost telepathic communication that exists between Peter, guitarist Roger Flack and hand percussionist Sacha Trochet. This concert is an extra special one as the Trio will be showcasing selected pieces from their long-awaited new album. "one of the most quietly brilliant sets of musicians in the folk world and beyond" - Folk Radio UK
