Winner of best single/EP title at the FATEA Magazine Awards 2017.

A joint project led by Cornish folk band The Changing Room and The Lost Gardens Of Heligan on a Cornish themed EP, commemorates the fallen soldiers of World War 1. Released on Armistice Day in a year that sees the centenary of the Battle Of The Somme. 

Written by Tanya Brittain and Sam Kelly who form the core of Cornwall based folk band The Changing Room, the title track tells the story of the Heligan gardeners who signed their names on the wall of the Thunderbox Room before setting off to fight for King and country. Remaining undiscovered until 1990 the story and the wall remained hidden yet is now recognised by the Imperial war Museum as a ‘Living Memorial.’

“In a just world, ‘Names On A Wall’ could be one of those tracks which suddenly gains a wider appeal – nothing would be more welcome to see ‘Names On A Wall’ emerge as the new soundtrack to one of those famous compilations of film clips which gather together striking images and scenes from the greatest war of all. Beautifully done.” Louder Than War
