      Press Gang has been performing to audiences with their harmonious singing since 2012. We specialise in entertaining our audiences with songs of the sea, songs about Cornwall, and a sprinkling of comedy numbers, all delivered with wit and enthusiasm.
      Our reputation has taken us to Festivals throughout the country, and a Flash Mob Video of us performing ‘Cornwall My Home’ at Gatwick Airport has been seen by well over 500,000 people! We were featured on BBC Spotlight when we performed on board the 'Phoenix' in Charlestown for the Poppy Appeal.
      We have sold some 1500 CDs.  The Fowey branch of the RNLI receive £1.00 from each CD sale. We are about to record our 3rd CD featuring some of our new material.   We are really looking forward to hosting tonight's show, raising money for our own funds which, in turn, enables us to perform at various charity events throughout Cornwall.

      Tonight, we line up with the fabulous Cana, who performed with NoteAbility at Holy Trinity Church in 2018. They were amazing!
      Cana are a classical trio with a laid back style.   Their repertoire is a mix of opera favourites, hits from the musicals and close harmony songs from the 1940's and 50's. International singers, Caroline, Evie and Shelley are three Divas who are passionate about bringing the extraordinary sound of classical voices into more intimate venues.
      Their laid back performance style and top quality voices, alongside songs ranging from Puccini to the Andrews Sisters, will appeal to both opera lovers and those who have never heard the sound of opera up close and personal before.
      In addition to Cana, we are thrilled to have been able to get Jonathan Tucker to sing with us.
      We heard him sing recently at St Johns in St Austell and were blown away by his voice.
      He first started singing when he was 18 when he sang with Restormel Theatre Company. He has subsequently sung with a number of other theatre companies, playing various lead roles.
      You can expect him to sing songs from the shows with a huge amount of passion.
      You are going to love his voice.      .
