clear, concise, 4-9 words. Strip noise. Keep essence: what it is and where if not implied by venue. Title-case proper nouns and event names; otherwise sentence case.
3-5 sentences, 90-160 words. Cover: what to expect, who it's for, one notable highlight if obvious. Locally relevant. Friendly + informative. No hype. No emojis. Never invent specific facts. If minimal, keep honest and brief. Input is minimal: just "Live score performed by the Cornish Sound Unit". We know it's at The Ritz Theatre, Penzance. We know it's music category, Tuesday 21 July 2026 at 7pm. What to expect: a screening of Rose of Nevada (I assume it's a film? Could be a play? "Rose of Nevada" sounds like a film. But I shouldn't invent. Wait, is it a film? "Rose of Nevada with Live Score" suggests it's likely a film with live music. But I must not invent if not sure. However, given the category is music and venue is theatre, it could be a silent film or a film screening. But I don't have explicit info that it's a film. The raw title is "Rose of Nevada with Live Score". It might be a film, but I should be careful. I can say: "Head to The Ritz Theatre in Penzance for a special performance..." or "The Cornish Sound Unit take over The Ritz Theatre to perform a live score alongside Rose of Nevada." I don't need to say it's a film if not sure. I can say "live score for Rose of Nevada" or "accompanying Rose of Nevada". That avoids specifying the medium. Let's draft: "The Cornish Sound Unit bring their live score to Rose of Nevada at The Ritz Theatre in Penzance. Settle in for an evening where music meets storytelling in one of west Cornwall’s most characterful venues. It’s a fine choice for anyone after something a little different on a Tuesday night." Word count check: Sentence 1: The Cornish Sound Unit bring their live score to Rose of Nevada at The Ritz Theatre in Penzance. (17 words) Sentence 2: Settle in for an evening where music meets storytelling in one of west Cornwall’s most characterful venues. (17 words) Sentence 3: It’s a fine choice for anyone after something a little different on a Tuesday night. (15 words) Total: 49 words. That's too short. Need 90-160 words. I need to expand but not pad with fluff. Let's add more detail and warmth. Draft 2: "The Cornish Sound Unit bring a live score to Rose of Nevada at The Ritz Theatre in Penzance. Expect an evening where live music and narrative intertwine in the inviting surrounds of this historic Penzance venue.

Maybe mention the local connection: "The Cornish Sound Unit" — highlight that they are local. "Locally relevant — reference Cornwall, the town, or the venue when natural." Draft 3: "The Cornish Sound Unit bring a live score to Rose of Nevada at The Ritz Theatre in Penzance. Expect an evening where homegrown musical talent meets narrative in the intimate, historic surrounds of this beloved Penzance venue. Whether you’re deep into Cornwall’s creative scene or just fancy a midweek outing with a difference, this one’s well worth a look.

(25) Total: 84 words. Still slightly under 90. Need a bit more. Maybe combine or expand sentence 2. "Expect an evening where homegrown musical talent meets narrative on stage in the intimate, historic surrounds of this much-loved Penzance venue, right in the heart of west Cornwall." That adds a few words. Let's try: "The Cornish Sound Unit bring a live score to Rose of Nevada at The Ritz Theatre in Penzance. Expect an evening where homegrown musical talent meets narrative on stage in the intimate, historic surrounds of this much-loved venue right in the heart of west Cornwall. Whether you’re deep into Cornwall’s creative scene or just fancy a midweek outing with a difference, this one’s well worth a look. Doors are at 7:00 pm, so arrive in good time to settle into your seat and soak up the atmosphere before the lights go down." Word count: 1. 18 2. Expect(1) an(2) evening(3) where(4) homegrown(5) musical(6) talent(7) meets(8) narrative(9) on(10) stage(11) in(12) the(13) intimate,(14) historic(15) surrounds(16) of(17) this(18) much-loved(19) venue(20) right(21) in(22) the(23) heart(24) of(25) west(26) Cornwall(27). (27) 3. 22 4. 25 Total: 18+27+22+25 = 92 words. Perfect, within 90-160. Check for hype: "well worth a look" is okay, not too hypy. "beloved" might be slightly emotional but okay. "soak up the atmosphere" is fine. Check facts: I said "Doors are at 7:00 pm" — the raw data says "When: Tuesday 21 July 2026 at 7:00 pm". That is the event time. Is it doors open or start? Usually it's the start time. I shouldn't invent "doors are at" if it might be start time. Better to say "The performance starts at 7:00 pm" or "It all starts at 7:00 pm". Or simply "Things get underway at 7:00 pm". That is factual based on input. Let's adjust sentence 4: "Things get underway at 7:00 pm, so arrive in good time to settle into your seat and soak up the atmosphere before the lights go down." That uses the given time without assuming doors. Also, I should check: is "Rose of Nevada" a film? I didn't call it a film. I said "meets narrative on stage" — that might imply it's a stage performance. If it's a film, "on stage" might be odd. But live scores are often for film. However, could also be a theatre piece. The phrase "live score" is used for both. To be safe, I can say "meets moving image" or just "accompanies Rose of Nevada". Let's avoid assuming the medium. Better sentence 2: "Expect an evening where homegrown musical talent and storytelling come together in the intimate, historic surrounds of this much-loved venue right in the heart of west Cornwall." That avoids "on stage" or "film". So: "The Cornish Sound Unit bring a live score to Rose of Nevada at The Ritz Theatre in Penzance. Expect an evening where homegrown musical talent and storytelling come together in the intimate, historic surrounds of this much-loved venue right in the heart of west Cornwall. Whether you’re deep into Cornwall’s creative scene or just fancy a midweek outing with a difference, this one’s well worth a look. Things get underway at 7:00 pm, so arrive in good time to settle into your seat and soak up the atmosphere before the lights go down." Word count check again: 1. The(1) Cornish(2) Sound(3) Unit(4) bring(5) a(6) live(7) score(8) to(9) Rose(10) of(11) Nevada(12) at(13) The(14) Ritz(15) Theatre(16) in(17) Penzance(18). = 18 2.
