My Penwith radio Show

Iam going to be working closely with penwith radio to produce a radio show based on the youth Hip Hop artist Djs and MCs in the penwith area who dont get a chance to show there music talnet on a bigger stage than on the streets of the penwith area.
I would think the best time for the show to be on would be a late on weekends when most people are age would tune in to listen.
The show is aimed to the younger genertation of the penwith area who listen to Hip -Hop beacuse there isnt much focus on them beacuse they are put into sterotype and they arnt given the chance to perform and show off there MC skills and i would like to offer the youth in penwith who MC to come on My show and give them a shot a performiong on radio.

Newlyn The Exchange Gallery

Newlyn Art Gallery has a 112 year history of developing regionally significant contemporary art projects. Over the past 20 years the level of ambition within the organisation has increased very significantly, to the point where the gallery consistently delivers nationally significant programmes of exhibitions and education projects.

The gallery was previously limited by its building, necessitating a redevelopment in order to realise its plans to showcase the very best of national and international contemporary art. The newly refurbished gallery reopened on 7th July 2007, alongside major new art space The Exchange, in the heart of Penzance.

Tate st,ives gallery

Tate St Ives is an art gallery in St Ives, Cornwall, England, exhibiting work by modern British artists, including work of the St Ives School. The three story building, designed by architects Evans and Shaleff, lies on the site of an old gas works, overlooking Porthmeor Beach. It was opened in 1993, the second regional gallery in the Tate Gallery network. However, the Tate also manages an earlier property in St Ives, the Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden which it opened in 1980.
An extension to the gallery has been proposed in response to the large numbers of visitors the gallery attracts, with the aims of providing better education spaces and accommodating larger works of art. The plans have met with fierce objections from some parts of the local community.
Whilst Tate St Ives seeks to preserve the history of twentieth-century art in St Ives, the gallery also exhibits new work from artists working further afield. The gallery's artist residency programme aims to develop the professional practice of artists who live and work in Cornwall.

Mazie day

Mazie day is a week long festival in penzance where all the commuimty joins in to celebrate.

Midsummer's Day is the church feast of St John The Baptist, an important day in Penzance's calendar as St John is the town's Patron Saint - the ancient name 'Pen Sans' meaning 'Holy Head' refers to him, and images of the head of St John can be spotted on buildings throughout Penzance.

It has always been an occasion for wild celebration. Historians record that:
The centre of the main streets is a continuous line of blazing tar barrels ... about ten o' clock from the Quay comes a procession of dock labourers and sailors swinging burning torches ... the numerous inhabitants form a long string and run furiously through every street vociferating "An eye! An eye! An eye!" The last two of the string elevating their clasped hands form an eye, through which the thread of the populace runs without any regard to the number engaged...


Like many community celebrations Golowan was suppressed in late Victorian times and was all but forgotten for a hundred years. Then in 1991 in the dark days of the last recession a group of local artists and performers, together with Penzance's Alverton Primary School, revived the festival on the saturday nearest to St John's Feast which they called Mazey Day. The streets were decorated and closed to traffic, the school paraded with costumes and giant images made of withies and paper, setting off on the stroke of midday - and it poured! But later the weather relented and a seed was sown which expanded year after year to a full-scale arts and community festival which celebrates its 20th year in 2010
