Hello to my lovely Patrons! I wanted to share with you a spooky photo I took the other day of the wooden carving of the Mermaid of Zennor!
I was playing a solo violin gig in the church at Zennor, called St Senara’s. It’s such a beautiful church, with amazing acoustics! As I was practising before the wedding ceremony, there was a constant stream of tourists filing in to look at this carving of the mermaid which is on a little bench next to where I was standing. The wood is very dark and gives it an eerie feel…!
My track and video ‘Escape to Freedom’ was inspired by the legend of the mermaid who was apparently a member of the church who used to sing beautifully. One day she disappeared with a local boy called Mathey Trewella, son of the church warden and himself a wonderful singer, and it was thought that they lived together deep in the ocean and raised a family together!
I do love a folk tale! Coming soon is studio notes! Lots of love to you all xxx
