NEW EP LAUNCH - St Ives Arts Club


“Following his visit to the Arts Club last September festival, Richard Trethewey is returning to Launch his new EP “Richard Gendall’s Cornish Protest Songs”. This EP comprises of two songs previously released by Brenda Wootton but then two songs written by Gendall but neverpreviously recorded or released. Whilst written over 50 years ago, these songs deal with some of the topics that are making headline news now, from Cornish families struggling to find a home due to the amount of second homes to over fishing of Cornish waters, Gendall’s songs almost seem prophetic. Richard ends the EP with a reworking of his own song ‘Smoking Chimneys’ adding verses reflecting of Gendall’s songs and Richard’s own take on them. Richard will be joined by cellist Kath Buckler and singer Sam Stephens who both appear on the EP. There may be some other talented friends too!”

Supporting Johnny Coppin @ St Austell Arts Centre

Get tickets HERE

For one night only Johnny Coppin & Richard Trethewey join forces for a night of truly perfect acoustic music.



Johnny’s gorgeous and seemingly effortless vocals have graced the acoustic scene since the
emergence of the band Decameron in the early 1970s. He is a talented singer and
songwriter, playing both piano and guitar, and this year is the 50 th Anniversary
of his solo career with concerts throughout the UK.
Over the years, he has played many times in Cornwall, at venues from Port Isaac to
Penzance - initially with Decameron, then solo and at duo gigs with Mike Silver, and with
Phil Beer (Show of Hands).
Johnny has over fourteen albums to his name, including The Winding Stair, Borderland,
Edge of Day with writer Laurie Lee, and his most recent album River of Dreams.
His songs are essentially British, and always melodic and evocative.
Johnny last played in Cornwall in 2024, joined by Cornish singer Richard Trethewey who will
again be offering a support set and joining Johnny for a few numbers in his set too.

Movie Night II

Movie Night II - The Old Gardener Launch


TICKETS HERE

After the huge success of ‘Movie Night’ back in April, Richard is returning to The Plaza Cinema Truro for a special night of films!

This event will be the official release of Richard’s new single and film “The Old Gardener” which tells the unbelievable story of how Leekseed Chapel at St Blazey Gate got it’s unusual name!

This event will be slightly different to the last cinema event – it will take place in Screen 5 at the Plaza, which only seats 55 people in total. Screen 5 is at the top of the building and has it’s own bar within the screen! This will be a Sunday afternoon screening showing the new film as well as Richard’s other films and also a brand new outtakes film from all the releases so far!

All ticket holders will get a free glass of fizz on arrival!

There will not be a gig as such but Richard may perform “The Old Gardener” and “Richard Jose” the other track being released on this date!

Unfortunately Screen 5 is not served by a lift and is therefore not accessible for those with mobility issues.

Post event drinks to be arranged!

Event Location:

The Plaza Cinema, 69 Lemon Street, Truro, Cornwall, TR1 2PN, UK

A cosy night out! - NEW VENUE!

A Cosy Night Out with Richard Trethewey.

October 18, 2024 - 7PM - 9PM - St Austell Library

Following the dramatic events at Charlestown with the flood gates failing, Charlestown Harbour is closed until further notice.

This means Sam and Andy who run ‘The Lady Daphne’ have had to cancel all their upcoming events and in turn are losing out on a lot of funds required to continue restoration work – just as winter is around the corner!

We are going to go ahead with ‘A cosy night out’ and all performers will be donating their time and skills to give The Lady Daphne 100% of any money raised.

This event will be a bring your own Cheese and Wine to add to a communal cheese and wine fund for the evening!

There will be performances from:

Jamie Sterritt, Molly Biscoe and Richard Trethewey.

We will watch my existing films as well as previewing my new film about how Leek Seed Methodist Church got it’s unusual name!

I’m working on the log burner aspect of the evening…. I have a plan!
