Loud And Quiet
Inside the DIY rave scene that’s reshaping Cornwall’s musical heritage
Since moving to Falmouth, Hockeysmith and her eel collective have tapped into a rich vein of progressive energy
The holed stone at Mên-an-tol stands thirty miles north of Falmouth, guarded by ailment-curing fairies, piskies and clairvoyant spirits. Passing a naked child through the stone three times and dragging them through the grass eastwards on the Penwith moors will cure scrofula or rickets; women who pass through the hole seven times backwards at full moon hoping to fall pregnant will have their wishes answered; men suffering from rheumatism or spinal problems who skulk through the hole nine times against the sun will leave standing tall.
