All of us at Golowan are so grateful for the very important role played by our wonderful festival volunteers. They always have a smile on their faces and the festival couldn’t manage without them!
Our volunteers also tell us how much they enjoy their time with us. They enjoy meeting and talking to each other and to festival visitors.
They demonstrate enthusiasm, friendliness and helpfulness. They never let us down and are wonderful ambassadors for the festival!
The Golowan Band is recruiting! New members are needed and will be made most welcome!
We are looking for brass/woodwind/fiddle players – and the like who are fit enough to march and play and enjoy the fun and camaraderie of being part of this famous band.
There is a core repertoire of ten tunes which you will need to learn and rehearsals will be held down at the Barbican every Tuesday for six weeks prior to the festival culminating in all the joy and festivities of Mazey Weekend.
Obviously the Golowan Festival is our focal point but the band also participates in other vibrant Cornish events such as Lafrowda and Goldsithney Charter Fair.
