Friday 3 November Wurlitza presents ‘A Cottage on Dartmoor’

Wurlitza is a critically acclaimed five-piece band from South East Cornwall which has been specialising in creating live soundtracks for silent films since 2006. This Anthony Asquith film, ‘A Cottage on Dartmoor’, is a British late silent masterpiece. Said to ‘Out-Hitchcock Hitchcock’ it uses every cinematic technical trick available to create suspense. Like ‘The Artist’ it is a snapshot on the rise of early talking films, cleverly woven into a plot that involves an escaped convict, a love triangle, jealousy and hairdressing.

Five-piece band Wurlitza’s eclectic soundtrack includes music by Beethoven, Satie, Credence Clearwater, Tom Waits, Coldplay and Blondie. If you haven’t yet had the Wurlitza experience, it comes highly recommended. Wurlitza performed three films over three days at Glastonbury Festival in 2016, and delighted audiences with a premier performance of ‘A Cottage on Dartmoor’ at the 2017 Port Eliot Festival.

“I loved Wurlitza’s Pop to Classic mix” - Badaude, the Guardian

“A musical and visual treat that is not to be missed.”  - Paul K Joyce, Composer/Producer
