Jago Eliot
Jago Nicholas Aldo Eliot, Lord Eliot (24 March 1966 – 15 April 2006) was the son of Peregrine Eliot, 10th Earl of St Germans, and Jacquetta Lampson. He became Lord Eliot in 1988 after his grandfather’s death and was educated at Millfield School.
As a young man, he busked with Eddie Izzard at Covent Garden, then moved to Brighton in the late 1980s where he helped run clubs at the ZAP venue, including Fundamental and Pow Wow. He returned to Cornwall in the mid-1990s and, in 2002, founded the Port Eliot Literature Festival at Port Eliot.
Eliot worked on digital and creative projects with the Arts Council and other arts initiatives, helping to develop Port Eliot as a vibrant cultural space. Shortly before his death, he was awarded an Artist Fellowship in Creative Technology by Hewlett-Packard and explored ideas like invisible sculpture and 3D soundscapes. He also helped plan discussions on art, science and technology, such as A Conversation at Port Eliot in 2006 with the Institute of Digital Art and Technology at the University of Plymouth.
He married former model Bianca Ciambriello. Their wedding began in the Lost Vagueness garden at Glastonbury, followed by a formal ceremony at Port Eliot; the alternative wedding is featured in Julian Temple’s Glastonbury (2006). They had three children: Albert, Ruby and Violet.
Jago Eliot died on 15 April 2006. He had epilepsy, which he had developed in 2004, and he was determined to have died from epilepsy.
