The
Players and Songwriters
Ron
Openshaw, singer, songwriter and guitarist from the Lizard was a member
of Conwall Songwriters for 7 years, and in Cornish Lads played the role
of 'The Old Miner'. Sadly Ron died on 22 May 2010. His death has deeply
saddened us all. We remember with great affection his gentle
humour and warm friendship. The show continues, but not without
heartache.
