Ella & The Rogue Tones is an exciting quartet inviting you on a journey of original songs, infused with a cappella pieces, sumptuous improvisation and a range of style flavours from latin, jazz, soul and nu-folk, weaving them into a rich musical tapestry.

Vibrant voyages through soulful jazz classics.


The Standard Set is a compelling new jazz outfit hailing from the wild shores of West Cornwall, breathing new life into iconic tunes and original compositions led by saxophonist Pete Truin. Featuring the impeccable musicianship of Matt Johns on piano and James Macphail on double bass, this seasoned ensemble spontaneously re-imagines music from the jazz tradition. Navigating joyful melodies and intricate harmonies together, they captivate audiences with their improvisational prowess and infectious grooves. Join The Standard Set as they serenade you at this unique Valentine’s Day event, with vocals from special guest Ella-Turk Richards.

Pete Truin is a singer, multi-instrumentalist and award-winning vocal arranger, best known for his work exploring traditional maritime song. Joined by long-time collaborator and chart-topping folk singer Anna Cornish, the pair sing rousing tales of love, loss and adventure by land and sea. The sincerity of their powerful vocal harmonies brings to life a rich landscape of song, supported by the sensitive instrumentation of Matt Johns on piano and James Macphail on double bass.

On Thursday 21st December at 7pm we will be welcoming the return of Helston Town Band. The town band playing at the cafe if a bit of a festive necessity. We’d go so far as to say that it almost wouldn't feel like Christmas without the cafe playing host to brassy carols, with mince pies and mulled wine grasped firmly for sustenance and warmth. We’ll be delighted to see you all there. No booking needed.

Ella Turk-Richards & The Rogue Tones will take you on an exploratory musical journey through song, instrumentation and improvisation.

Rich, soaring vocals, captivating guitar, tenor saxophone, sumptuous improvised double bass melodies and hypnotic percussive rhythms come together in a soulful performance sure to make your hair stand on end.

This quartet comprises: Ella Turk-Richards on lead vocals and guitar, Pete Truin on Saxophone and lead guitar, James Macphail on Double Bass and Treve Nicol on percussion.

Ella's original songwriting, arrangement and group collaborations within the band draws threads from latin, jazz, soul and nu-folk and weaves them into a rich musical tapestry, while her solo vocal pieces often take on a theatrical quality.
