The Countrymen return for the opening night of the 2025 September Festival after making a big impression on their St Ives debut in 2022.
The five-piece band feature tight four-part vocal harmony and strong instrumentation with original songs about life in Cornwall, the demise of local industries and other rural issues plus their own arrangements of contemporary folk songs.
Performing up to 50 live gigs per year including spring and autumn concert tours, their festivals include Little Orchard Festival, Rock Oyster Festival, Falmouth International Sea Shanty Festival, Falmouth Oyster Festival and Falmouth Week.
They have also appeared at Bie Diap in The Netherlands, Europe’s largest folk and sea-song festival and last September they performing at the Mineral Point Opera House in Wisconsin USA. Having released two albums – Trees on the Hill and The River Rolls On -they are working on a third.
