Golowan – Together, We Shine
In 2024 Golowan celebrates all that is brilliant and inspirational about our community, past and present. Golowan want to illuminate those amongst us who do or have forged the way, been leaders, guiding lights. Organisations that support, uplift, bring us together, give us pride. Who would you shine a light on? Think: Humphry Davy, Mousehole Xmas lights & Newlyn fireworks, our firemen or lifeboat crews, those who run the food bank, that person who opens the church so the homeless can sleep safe and dry. The moon, the stars, our traditions such as torchlit ceremonies and fire in the streets, Montol. The refugees, welcomed, have a generosity of spirit which, despite such hardship, shines for us all. The people behind the Pride march or those underneath the street food project. Let’s celebrate them. And don’t forget our lovely shiny selves –what are you going to wear, or do? How are you going to shine for Golowan? Golowan would also like to introduce the lovely Kim Tilbrook…Kim joined the Golowan team in late 2023, taking over from Nadine Tonner, the team would like to thank Nadine for all of her hard work over the last few years. Kim’s role is to bring people, artists, community and organisations together to deliver Golowan and to ensure that everyone gets to hear about it. Kim has more than 30 years’ experience producing and performing in Outdoor Arts, arts events, festivals and community projects. She is a member of the Lafrowda Festival committee and co-director of Red Herring Productions.
