It is somewhat remarkable that Cornwall has produced no musical genius of any note, and yet the Cornishman is akin to the Welshman and the Irishman.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I know people sometimes have this fantasy about Cornwall. But the Cornish are so grounded.
Cornwall has lots of folk and Celtic music and has that kind of surfer vibe as well. That was my kind of upbringing.
The Welsh people have a talent for acting that one does not find in the English. The English lack heart.
I have lived in Cornwall from the age of 4, so I have always been aware of the artistic heritage that the county has. I feel very proud to be able to connect to this.
We have always found the Irish a bit odd. They refuse to be English.
I've been asked why does Ireland produce so many great musicians, and the answer is it doesn't. When you count the great musicians Ireland has given the world in the last 20 years, you can do it on one hand.
Cornwall is one of the most beautiful places, with great people - there's not a great downside to it.
There's some familiarity in Celtic music, even if you've never heard that piece of music before.
The Devonian and Cornishman will be found by the visitor to be courteous and hospitable. There is no roughness of manner where unspoiled by periodic influx of strangers; he is kindly, tender-hearted, and somewhat suspicious.
You think the Welsh are friendly, but the Irish are fabulous.
