Featuring NORDET, Harry Kessell, Jack Orion

Palestine Solidarity Kernow:

Seven days on from the 3rd Anniversary of the GAZA GENOCIDE

78 years 4 months and 29 days since the start of the Ethnic Cleansing, Massacres, Land Theft, Displacement, Apartheid, Starvation, Infanticide, Concentration Camp Imprisonment, Torture and Occupation of the ancient land of PALESTINE, now the so-called State of Israel. It is time now to ignore the propaganda and the ZIONIST FAKE HISTORY.

The musicians playing for us this evening have given their time and talents for free as they often do, not just wonderful musicians and singers, they too have a deep Social Humanitarian Conscience.

NORDET

For more than 37 years Nordet has been performing traditional sea shanties and its own creations. The crew knows how to make people dance or sing in a festive spirit. Nordet have sailed from Lorient, their home port, to New York; from Paimpol to Liverpool and from Hoorn to Douarnenez. These four sailors, exuberant and joyful, will embark the audience, from dead calm seas to storms, from the middle of oceans to the docks, and from Breton taverns to Dutch pubs. So welcome on board you sailors.

Band Profile for the 2026 Bie Daip Folk & Seasongs Festival Appingedam.

Nordet has nearly 30 years of musical journeys in many ports around the world, from its home port Lorient in Brittany to New York; from Paimpol to Liverpool or from Hoorn to Douarnenez.

The nights at the dives, the gold of the pirates; the girls from Lorient, Hamburg or La Tortue; the song of the masts under the trade winds, the rose of the winds and the shells of walnuts; the first strand sailors and the rampart crayfish; the Groix Islands in Madagascar; Achab and Fanny de Lanninon populate the songs of Nordet and his crew are marinated on the big stages of festivals as well as cabarets and whose humour, enthusiasm, energy, voices and instruments will carry you away like a gust of wind.

JACK ORION

A folk singer and guitarist, based locally in Constantine. Long inspired by the songs of Dick Gaughan, June Tabor, Peter Bellamy, Jean Redpath, and Martin Carthy, and the enduring power of folk music to shape thought, connect, and move people to action. His distinctive guitar and vocal style raise the ghosts of the sixties folk revival, and the development of the influential folk singer guitarists of the era, that is still relevant in the genre to this day.

Jack is also one of the founding members of the iconic folk session at The Month & The Moon in Falmouth.
