FALMOUTH SOUL SENSATIONThis will be a benefit gig in aid of a local charity. Chosen charity to be announced soon!
Saturday 24th January 2026 - doors open 7pm
It is 18 years since the Falmouth Soul Sensation was formed by music impresario Bob Black, and started playing the best of classic 60’s soul music to enthusiastic audiences all around Cornwall. Their performances feature the greatest hits from Aretha, Sam and Dave, Otis, Dusty, Wilson Pickett and many others!
This will be the twelfth benefit the band has played at the Penzance Acorn, and these events have raised some £10,000 for local charities. This has become an annual feature of the Acorn’s new year calendar, and the band are thrilled to be returning to their favourite venue in West Cornwall!
The band regularly plays to packed audiences all over Cornwall and have been booked back to almost everywhere it has played. Appearances include the opening event for Falmouth Carnival for over a decade, Looe Festival for six consecutive years, St Just’s Lafrowda festival, Penzance’s Golowan, Penryn Fayre, Redruth’s Murdoch Day and Falmouth Princess Pavilion, plus support for Cornwall performances of The Three Degrees and Geno Washington. The band has released an album, on CD and Vinyl, called ‘Soul from the Archive’.
This event will brighten up the gloom of January for music lovers of all ages. Expect a lively evening of non-stop dancing, or just sit back in the balcony and enjoy!
Early booking is advised as the event usually sells out. Tickets are £13.50 in advance, £15 on the door, concessions (income support, disability allowance, student card only) £10. Available from the Acorn Box Office or www.theacornpenzance.com
