Music: Alex Cornish

“Genius” – Dermot O Leary. “Absolute quality” – Tom Robinson. A night of acoustic music from Alex Cornish Alex Cornish is a singer-songwriter, virtuoso violinist, pianist and guitarist from Dunbar, Scotland and he has been around the block. He has supported and toured with (amongst others) Kathryn Williams, Tom McRae, Morcheeba, Alison Moyet, Steve Nieve and Amy MacDonald. He has been in session for Tom Robinson, Dermot O Leary, Roddy Hart, Vic Galloway and more. The Sunday Times said in the past ‘a beautiful album that has Mercury Prize written all over it’, the Telegraph said ‘etheral singer songwriting’. He is touring his tenth record. “Percussive clicks, shuffling snares and restive washes of electronic noise create a cocoon of sorts for Cornish’s pensive acoustic ruminations. I remember when listening to his previous album, the record for which I wanted to reach afterwards was Travis’s The Man Who. With this one, it’s Radiohead’s In Rainbows and Nick Mulvey’s First Mind ” – Pete Paphides
