The Folk in Church concert featuring multi-instrumentalist and vocalist Ben Sutcliffe was a major success for St Paul’s.

Ben Sutcliffe was really good, writes Yvonne Heggs.

It was based around folk songs from Cornwall, some of which I knew. He was down to earth and a very talented composer. Some of the music was based on Stations of the Cross which he composed based on poems put to music.

He was a real star

He told us about all the work that he did with schools and theatre, particularly with the Minack Theatre in Cornwall. He accompanied his songs with guitar, he played gigs on the violin, and sang to backing tracks from some of his theatre performances. All in all, it was a very good evening. He was a real star and I would love him to come back.

Everyone was very appreciate

Ben treated a small, but select, audience to a beautiful evening of music, writes Jennifer Hart.

First, we heard a selection of Cornish folk songs, accompanied by guitar and violin, including a very spooky "Kenidjack Witch", which sent shivers up the spine.

Played some of his own music

He then played some of his own music, finishing with singing two pieces written for a "Stations of the Cross" suite. The setting for this was perfect - as the light was falling, Ben was in semi-darkness, with the spotlight shining on the crucifix scene above him on the rood screen.

Everyone was very appreciative of Ben's entertaining, and well-performed, evening.
