The more we learn about war, the more important it becomes to sing about peace.

Peace has been a recurring theme of the powerful and distinctive singing and |song-writing of the English acappella trio Barry Coope, Jim Boyes and Lester Simpson.

In Flanders Field combines their own writing with the biting humour of the Tommies’ wartime observations and music.

Coope Boyes and Simpson will be |performing In Flanders Fields at The Acorn Theatre, Penzance on Saturday, July 19 at 8pm as part of the Penzance Literary Festival.
