…we seem to have hit the mark…
‘Cornucopia were fantastic and really adding that “something extra” to our event. Aside from their great performance they were reliable and organised making them easy to work with in preparation for the event. I would highly recommend them for any private or corporate event and wouldn’t hesitate to use them again.’ – Francesca Pickard, BGC Partners

…introducing… Chris Barrie!
Well, Cornucopia rocked the house on Tuesday night at the NatWest ball. Firstly, I was asked to open the entire evening and introduce the host for the evening and guest speaker, Chris Barrie (better known as Rimmer from “Red Dwarf” and Gordon Brittas from “The Brittas Empire”). We played 2 jazz sets during the champagne reception and dinner, then did our dance set from 11pm till midnight. We had our gorgeous brass section, Karen Straw and Louise Hayn, and our star lead singer Damien Edwards, fresh from touring with “The Roy Orbison Story” (playing the title role, no less!), and the velvety voice of the beautiful Sarah Trigg. Lee Burnett, Rees Bridges, Jon Kensington and myself completed the line-up, and the dance floor was packed for our entire set, while people gambled at the casino to raise money for the Prince’s Trust, Macmillan Cancer Support, St Francis’ Hospice and the Newspaper Education Trust. The dinner was amazing, and Chris Barrie was very entertaining. There was also a charity auction.
