Twestival Home

With just nine days to go to Cornwall Twestival Local on Saturday 12th September, we’re delighted to bring you the full line-up of the event’s activities, auction prizes and star performers.

Held at the spectacular Bedruthan Steps Hotel near Newquay, the Twestival will kick off at 7:30pm with a welcome drink courtesy of St Austell Brewery. Until 8.30pm you’ll be treated to a live performance from one of Cornwall’s top up-and-coming singer-songwriters, Sophie Stokes, as you mingle and sample a delicious buffet. Sophie’s smooth blues and soul-inspired style, comparable to that of Devon superstar Joss Stone, makes her the perfect Cornish act to open the county’s Twestival.

From 9pm the event moves up a gear with the first of the night’s three auctions, hosted by Pirate FM’s James Martin. The first auction will include three items:

• Family ticket to the National Maritime Museum Cornwall
• Goody bag and make-over cards from Body Shop Truro
• Family ticket to Newquay Zoo

Headline act - Paul McGahan and Breakthru
After the first auction, guests are in for a real treat as one of Cornwall’s best known vocalists, international recording artiste Paul McGahan, takes to the stage with his band Breakthru. Known as the UK’s top Bono soundalike, Paul recently appeared on the Jonathan Ross Show alongside U2. With four albums in the bag and a new album, “REFLEX”, due out in January 2010, Paul and Breakthru will be a fantastic headline act for Cornwall Twestival Local.

The second set of auction items will be on offer from 10:30pm. Guests will have the chance to bid for:

• Zipwire experience for two at Lusty Glaze
• Hair and beauty package from Mamouchi and the Great Escape in Truro
• Luxurious and cleansing massage treatment in the brand new Hammam Room at Ocean Spa at Bedruthan, with use of the hydro spa

Breakthru will return to the stage at 10:45pm for a final half-hour set before the top three items are auctioned off from 11:15pm. Don’t miss this chance to get your hands on these great prizes:

• Vocal Master Class and Make Me a Star Recording Session complete with a professionally finished CD with Vikki St Leger, a professional vocal performance coach
• Two return flights to any of Air Southwest’s nine year-round destinations
• Two night break at the Scarlet Hotel

100% of the money raised through ticket sales and the auction will be donated to the nominated charity, CHICKS – Country Holidays for Inner-City Kids. This has been made possible through the generous donations of our sponsors who have paid for the costs of staging the event.
