About this Event

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'. Touring his ninth record, Squall Critical, which was recorded in just over a week at his kitchen table with some synths, programming, his violin, guitar and a single SM57 microphone.


Pete Paphides on Squall Critical -

"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. Which perhaps gives you an indication of the direction from that one to Squall Critical. Of course, I'm writing a singles column here, so I’m really just here to pick out one song. And right now, I’m finding it hard to look beyond the quietly cascading majesty of the title track. At times, Cornish sounds like a man who, whilst not wanting to be any trouble, is trying to keep himself busy as he anxiously awaits the outcome of his own story. If, right now, you feel like you're sitting in the same metaphorical waiting room, you could do much worse than cue up Squall Critical while waiting for your name to be called."
