The Cornwall Area of

Outstanding Natural Beauty
is one single protected area
split up into 12 separate parts.
These make up the very best
of Cornwall’s dramatic coast
and rugged moorland, ancient
farmland, tumbling streams,
hidden woods and placid creeks
and estuaries. The AONB is
studded with remote farms,
small villages, ancient monu-
ments and mining or quarrying
remains.
The Cornwall AONB covers
an area of 958 sq km or 370 sq
miles – well over a quarter of
the County.

FAL RIVER FESTIVAL BLOG ARTS & CRAFTS
WITH CHRIS OSBALDESTON MARKETFri 28th - Sun 6th
Fri 28th - Sun 6th Sat 29th - Mon 31st: 10am - 5pm
Blogging this year’s Fal River Festival is Chris
Osbaldeston or Oz as he likes to be known.
Hardly your average student Oz left his
native Yorkshire at the age of 65 to under-
take a Masters degree in Professional Writing
at Falmouth University.

The opportunity to work with the Fal River

Festival team and to be part of the festival
itself, meeting and writing about the people
who help make Cornwall unique was too
good to miss.
Oz will be blogging before, during and after
the festival.
To follow Oz’s blog log on to
www.kingharryscornwall.co.uk/festival/blog
The Arts and Craft Market, with its variety
and diversity showcasing the best of Cornish
produce and craftsmanship, will add another
dimension to the Fal River Festival.
The market will be situated adjacent to the
main event marquee allowing free access
over the three days of the Bank Holiday Week-
end and will be open from 10am to 5pm.

Around the River Fal

BIG WAVES FLAGS

Fri 28th - Sun 6th FREE
Big Wave Flags will be popping up all
over the River Fal for the duration of
the festival, in a variety of places and
colours. All of the 8metre flags are in-
dividually made of China silks and are
locally handmade here in Cornwall.
Transforming the Fal River Festival’s
main event venues, Big Wave Flags will
also be guerilla flagging at a variety of
secret locations.

In the past Andrew Kingsley-Tubbs, founder

of Big Wave Flags, had been flagging larger
festivals but now he is starting to focus
more on event decorating for private par-
ties, cultural events and weddings.

After several years out of the public eye,
Peter Green is back with a new band. Now
seated centre stage, what is obvious is that
the show revolves around him, and that he
is in the company of notably simpatico mu-
sicians. Peter Green and Friends is about
the man himself enjoying the performance
experience - this is not a Peter Green’s
Fleetwood Mac greatest hits band. Natu-
rally, no Peter Green appearance would be
complete without a few of his classic com-
positions, but now the focus is on fresh
renditions of Peter’s personal blues, R&B
and soul favourites. The repertoire is an
exciting, unpredictable mix and you can’t
help but notice him smiling and laughing
as his guitar and voice shine once again.

BLUES BROTHERS TRIBUTE
THE BOOZE BROTHERS
Doors Open at 7pm HOT LINE
The Booze Brothers have been riding
high amongst the cream of international
tribute bands since 1998, when they
were formed from a South Wales musical
collective with the twin imperatives of
musical excellence and exuberant fun,
and consequently, in recent years, have
graced the stage at many of Europe’s
major festivals and left a string of sat-
isfied customers in their wake, including
the Mayor of Liverpool, British Airways,
Chelsea FC and the Liberal Democrats!
The band’s longevity and success can
be attributed to the virtuosity and dedi-
cation of the principal players - vocalist
Baz Oldfield has enjoyed a recording ca-
reer spanning 20 years, submitting sev-
eral sessions for BBC Radio 1 and having
over 50 of his own songs published in
the process.

A veteran of countless live performanc-
es, he forged his reputation appearing
with such luminaries as Jools Holland,
Van Morrison, The Pogues and Jerry
Lee Lewis. Also fronting the band is Tim
Chapman, a man whose effortlessly
smooth voice has seen him secure roles
in major productions Buddy and The Rat
Pack, as well as touring his own combo
around the USA and Jamaica.
Trumpeter Cris Haines trained at the
London College of Music, taught jazz at
Swansea University, played sessions at
Polydor Records and has appeared with
Joe Tex, Georgie Fame and Eddie” Knock

is another former session man, hitting
the Top Ten with Flowered Up as well as
touring with Rose Royce and drummer
Rob Wilding, in his capacity as original
stickman for The Racing Cars, enjoyed
£8
major chart success with” They Shoot
Horses Don’t They” resulting in several
Top of the Pops appearances and world-
wide sell-out tours with Bad Company
and Manfred Mann.
Above all, however, the boys know how
to deliver - classic Blues Brothers stan-
dards rub shoulders with Motown floorfill-
ers - Everybody Needs Somebody, Soul
Man, Gimme Some Lovin’, Shake A Tailfeath-
er, Higher And Higher - the hits keep coming -
throw in a liberal dash of Rock’n’Roll, a pinch
of Swing Jazz and you’re guaranteed an un-
forgettably energised party experience!

Let’s Get Cooking children’s challenge
Let’s Get Cooking is a national network of
cooking clubs for children, families and
their communities across England. Dur-
ing its first five years, Let’s Get Cooking
is using £20 million from the Big Lottery
Fund to set up the first 5,000 clubs.
Two teams from Marloborough school’s
Let’s Get Cooking Club will each demon-
strate how to cook a seafood dish with
help from local chefs Sanjay Kumar and
Mark Puckey.
Let’s Get Cooking has three key targets:
• by the end of the five-year pro-
gramme 1,106,300 children, family
members and members of the local
community will increase their food
preparation or cooking skills as a re-
sult of Let’s Get Cooking
Compered by:
30 I Fal River Festival
• 70% of participants who learn a new
healthy eating skill through Let’s Get Cook-
ing will replicate that skill at home
• 50% of children, young people and fami-
lies who participate in Let’s Get Cooking
will increase their intake of nutritionally
healthy food.
Learning to cook ‘good food that is good for
you’ gives club members the knowledge,
experience and practical skills to enable
them to cook food for themselves, friends
and families.
Cooking is a great way of developing social
and personal skills; many clubs have re-
ported improved behaviour and confidence
in students. As they become involved in
making decisions about club activities,
serving food at events and using their
cooking skills, club members gain confi-

sense of responsibility and team work.
