In Memory of John Bolitho 1929-2005

Jowan an Cleth 1929-2005

For my first post I wish to pay tribute to John Bolitho who died on December 5th after battling cancer. (We are pictured here together at the Kernewek Lowender, Moonta 2003). John served as the Grand Bard of the Cornish Gorssed and was patron of the Victorian Association. He was passionate about Cornwall, the links with Australia and loved singing. I will never forget his haunting rendition of The Lords Prayer singing unaccompanied in Kernewek at St Pirans Day Celebrations in the Bendigo Methodist Church. The spiritual substance of such moments is what I am seeking to explore through this site.
