Bagas Fellyon
Hailing from the darkest depths of West Cornwall, Bagas Fellyon are re-imagining the sound of Cornish traditional music.
Taking the dark majestic beauty of the rugged Celtic coastline, the softness of golden sands and throwing in the grit of post industrial decay Bagas Fellyon are infusing the traditional music of Cornwall with their own lived experience in order to create something fresh, vibrant and alive.
Using drums, bass, fiddle, accordion and hammered dulcimer, Bagas Fellyon weave hypnotic rhythms and evolving textures in Combination with melodies both ancient and modern to paint a picture of Cornwall and Cornishness that goes deeper than the typical picture postcard representations of the Dutchy.
Bagas Fellyon pride themselves on playing for Cornish Nos Lowen dancing which is fast growing in popularity in Cornwall and beyond. Nos Lowen (Cornish for “Happy Night” is something between a ceilidh and the Breton Fest Noz. With high energy music, the dances are simple enough that they can be picked up by following along with a few strategically placed dance leaders among the crowd. This often removes the need for a caller and leads to an evening that can flow more freely.
Bagas Fellyon boasts a 5 piece line-up of highly skilled Cornish musicians who whether performing or playing for dancing are guaranteed to get your venue or event rocking!
Bagas Fellyon are available for performances, Nos Lowen, workshops and weddings.
