It's not "go-in" up, it's "goyne" up. One syllable. It's not down as in "dhow" and, as far as I was taught, father (pr. more like "feather") "blawed" in the band.
I prefer the orignal ne, then I do like things traditional and don't welcome change in events like this. Cause' im stuck up lol.
But I live in camborne ad every year it gets better as you can aprexiate it more. If only they didnt have it just on saturdays so I could miss school :( lol still, My family owned a traction engine and ran it through here once, but it broke down and we had to get another one to pull us back. when we were halfway down the hill there was a massive bang (?)but it worked
I'm another from Camborne, although I moved away 3 years ago. I also remember Trevithick day when I smell candifloss, or steam engines (yes the smell of them). Miss it sooo much. I used to live above the pet shop...opposite Mr Munch, so saw it briliantly. xxx
yay a home song i live in camborne its lush this avent thats going on is trervithik day in memory of ritcherd thrithik who invented the first steam engien and theres not only steam engens but lots of stuff like roller coasters and sweets but most of the shops are closed lol
um, im from camborne too and sorry to burst your buble he didnt invent the first steam engine, someoneelse did way before, bt he did invent the first steam locomotive which was extremely usful, even to this day with out his help mordern trains would not be here.
I've looked on Wikipedia and it says it's the hill leading to Beacon, i guess that's why the statue of Richard Trevithick is facing that way. Makes sense.
Kernowmitch,, Im afraid wikipedia ie wrong,,,CAMBORNE HILL runs from Tehidy road right up to Commercial Street/Trelowarren Street the junction by HSBC bank,,,and theres a Plaque on the wall part way down fore St./Camborne Hll depicting the fact....someone needs to update Wikipedia..
I'm a bit of a traditionalist, but i have to say the tune works really well, not saying it's better but it is a good refreshing mix well done. Now, i'm not being critical, just adding a fact. the engines are going up East Hill in Tuckingmill at the end of the video, i believe the Camborne hill in the song is from the Library and up the hill towards Beacon. Please correct me if i'm wrong as i'm not sure. Nice to see though as i don't live in Camborne anymore, try to get down for Trevithick Day.
Why is it that there is always a ridiculous debate about Cornish nationalism whenever I try to search for interesting forums in Cornwall. If it's not Cornish 'racial' purity it's the ridiculous view that everyone across the Tamar is 'in-bred'.
Is it the same small group of people that suffer from this total lack of imagination and depth to their personalities? Please, whatever flag sets your pulse racing (God help us!) can we please have some intelligent debate? Oh and spelling!
best day of the year! apart frm this year it was kind of like pool market had moved into camborne! still good thow! i can smell the mix between candyfloss and steam engines now!
Lovely to see and hear. Trevithick day in Camborne? Graham Hart plays in the square on Trevithick day. It was great to hear this makes me think of my dear Dad singing in the car. Graham Hart does a great song called 'This one's for the boys' With the hreat line 'Take me home to Cornwall'. Well worth a listen!
Don't think I ever saw anything like that in the states. Just when you think you've seen just about everything traveling down a street. Thanks for the peek.
I wanted this song when I first uploaded this video, but couldn't find it anywhere, then I saw Graham, the guy who sung it today and asked him about it, he emailed it to me and gave permision for me to use the song, Camborne is the town where I filmed the steam engines

Your correct, it was East Hill in Tuckingmill. As far as I am aware Camborne Hill starts from Tehidy Road Post Office towards enys rd.
