A singing farmer is hoping to reap the rewards of a night of music in aid of charity this month.
Organic farmer and journalist Stuart Oates will be performing with St Keverne Brass Band for A Night of Music from Stage and Screen on Valentine’s weekend.
They will also be joined by special guests through the evening of music, which will take place on Saturday, February 17 at 7.30pm.
The venue for the charity night is Cornish Camels at Rosuick Organic Farm, close to Goonhilly Downs on the Lizard Peninsula.
All profits will be split between St Keverne Band and Operation Smile, a charity dedicated to improving the health and lives of children with cleft conditions, through access to safe, free surgery and cleft care in more than 30 countries around the world.
The Oates family said: “There are very limited tickets, so get in quick. This will be an epic night of music from all of your favourite films and musicals performed live at Cornish Camels.
“Please share widely and get your requests in early – we may just surprise you with your favourite song.”
Tickets cost £15 online, although there is the option to pay £10 if that's all you can afford.
Full prices tickets are available at https://ticketlab.co.uk/event/id/20407 while discounted tickets can be found at https://ticketlab.co.uk/event/id/20997/
To save on the booking fee, tickets can also be bought in person through St Keverne Band members, Vincent's Family Butchers in St Keverne and Coverack Stores.
And in a bid to make it open to everyone, even if they have no money to spare, five tickets will be given to people who apply privately by messaging the Cornish Camels Facebook page.
Explaining more, the Oates family said: “We believe the arts should be accessible to all, so we are giving away five tickets to people who might be struggling with the cost of living.
“If you want to be considered, please send us a private message with your name and the number of tickets you'd like and we'll put you in the hat. Identities will of course be kept private.”
