If you live in Cornwall, you will know who Edward Rowe is. And if you don't, prepare to be introduced to an absolute gem! The Cornish actor and comedian is a legend in the county – and he's just written, filmed and directed his first-ever short film, all in the Cornish language, looking at a coming out story at a Cornish rugby club. It's called ‘Mab Hudel' – and tells the story of a player called Enys Penrose who captains his team to a cup final, while simultaneously struggling with his own sexuality. It's something that's right up our street, which is why we had Ed in to chat on our BBC Radio Cornwall show. And we thought you might like to hear it on our podcast as well, which is why we're bringing it to you here. Ed is a great talker – a really engaging, entertaining guy who we love and think you'll love as well – and that the film will be right up your street as well. So, enjoy this special bonus episode with Ed, and make sure you try and check out the film as well.

Soon getting booked for the likes of Boardmasters Festival & performing live on BBC RADIO CORNWALL & TCR RADIO. One year later, in February 2020, they had a sell-out first year show. They were then asked to support one of their musical influences, The Rumjacks. Next, the three were approached by Channel 4 and were filmed playing their first single '21st Century Pirate' for the show 'Britain's Most Historic Towns', which is scheduled to air in June 2020.They have built a loyal fan base & reached over 4000 followers on Facebook in their first year alone. Now, they are getting regular slots at reputable venues & have (had) a full calendar full of festivals & gigs for the rest of this year. Bookings include, hosting Bloodstock Festivals Metal 2 the Masses Final, Brixham Pirate Day & winning a newcomer slot at the biggest medieval festival in Europe - Mediaval Festival in Selb, Germany.In September 2019, JollyRoger released their first, home recorded EP 'Everyday Pirate' (Here’s a link to their 5 track EP on Spotify). Tracks have since been played on Coast FM, BCFM radio & Astro Radio. Charity EP 'Silent Mountain' came in November 2019. A rowing themed EP made in memory of family member, Christopher.

These guys are family and their connection on stage adds that little extra to their music and performances as they naturally use the audience and foot stomping as their percussion. Inspired and influenced by the vocals of 'The Pogues' crossed with 'Fisherman's Friends' with the energy of the 'Dropkick Murphys' and the comedy of 'Tenacious D', it's hard to categorise JollyRoger!
