  Well Dave Miller and Matthew Clarke of Skwardya recorded four songs by Lennon/McCartney in Kernewek, only to be told they were not allowed to reproduce them for sale on a CD.
  ...
  Skwardya started as a full band in 1999, but has since transformed into the duo consisting of Matt and Dave.
  ...
  Matt also has another Cornish language band called Krena. This four piece almost verges on punk at times, and won the PanCeltic song contest in 2005. Krena is also representing Cornwall in 2007.

  Great new album of modern folk from Matthew Clarke and Skwardya out now.Matthew, with Krena, was the Winner of the 2005 Pan-Celtic Song Contest, held recently in Ireland.He's also a member of the Cornish language fellowship, and much of his material is sung in Kernewek, in a move to bring the Cornish language out in to the open and to promote its use in music.
  
  Continuing our mission to bring the quirky and often downright weird side of Cornish music to the world, We are proud to announce the release of the new album "Some say the Devil is dead" by SKWARDYA.The band is led by Matthew Clarke, who is also the main songwriter.Many of the songs on the album are sung in Cornish.Skwardya (which translated means "shredding" - as in shredding the eardrums!), are almost unique in that they mix the Cornish language with contemporary songs and attitudes - there are songs about Cornwall's run down towns, the death of the mining industry, as well as a fine mix of traditional and Mathews very individual and personal look at his life in Cornwall today.There's even a Cornish dance track - track twelve, "Re a lever" (Some Say).
  
  The band are veterans of the Cornish music scene, having appeared at the Lowender Perran and Dewhellans festivals, and a great many dank and smoky Cornish pubs, and have the dubious honour of being thrown off stage at a traditional Cornish festival by the Mayor of Padstow "for being too loud".
  
  Mathew describes the band as "Cornish music with a devilish tinge - we are singing in Cornish because we love the language and want to bring it out into the open, and to prove that it can still be used today".

  Matthew Clarke, Lisa Simpson's translator and a member of the Cornish Language Fellowship, told Reuters that news of the Christmas special has ignited more than the usual mocking interest in a language which some say was the lingua franca of such British legends as King Arthur and Boadicea.
  
  "Before you got a lot of people writing on the Cornish language as a bit of a joke," he said.
  
  Clarke said the way much of the media viewed Cornish changed almost overnight when the press discovered it would feature in a cartoon series that is famed for lampooning American life and gained international currency poking fun at other stereotypes in Australia, Britain, Canada, France, and elsewhere.
  
  Clarke said the number of people using the Web site he runs, www.cornish-language.org, doubled after news got out on The Simpsons' Christmas special.
