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’. Touring his tenth record<\/p>\n

“Percussive clicks, shuffling snares and restive washes of electronic noise create a cocoon of sorts for Cornish\u2019s pensive acoustic ruminations. I remember when listening to his previous album, the record for which I wanted to reach afterwards was Travis\u2019s The Man Who<\/em>. With this one, it\u2019s Radiohead\u2019s In Rainbows<\/em> and Nick Mulvey\u2019s First Mind<\/em> ” – Pete Paphides<\/p>\n
