“Thanks again for such an amazing performance, we got great feedback and would definitely recommend again! Loved it!”

Lauren & Tom, Fulham

“Richard. Would like to thank you and the other members of the band for a fabulous night of wicked entertainment to celebrate both our wedding and Sarah’s 40th birthday. The range of music delivery and professionalism of your group was exceptional. Seeing a packed dance floor literally for every song was amazing and we’ve had so many comments from our guests stating how much of a great time they had, which is basically down to you guys. If you’re ever playing a public gig let us know and we’ll be there.”

Tony & Sarah, Forest of Dean

CORNUCOPIA – OUSEFIELD HOUSE OFFICERS’ MESS TESTIMONIAL

“I would like to take this rather belated opportunity to thank both yourself and your band members for the superb levels of entertainment you have delivered at the Officers’ Mess for the two major functions that we hold each year. Both the Summer Ball (17 Jul 10) and Xmas Ball (11 Dec 10) were outstanding events that benefitted greatly from the professional expertise and flexibility that you have afforded the Mess Committee on both occasions. With a diverse Membership ranging from the ages of mid twenties through to mid seventies the attendees are always going to be potentially difficult to please. However, you have an unfailing ability to judge what needs to be delivered and managed to keep the dance floor packed throughout the evening. Be it catering for the broad needs of a diverse audience or “banging out” the modern classics in the early hours, the live entertainment and disco have been outstanding. The seven and five piece groups that you provided for the two events met all expectations and where very responsive to the tailored needs of both evenings. Qualifying my comments with the observation that I have been involved in organising events in various capacities over the last 16 years I can confidently and unreservedly recommend the services of Cornucopia to any potential customer.”

D Godderidge
Major
President of the Mess Committee

It’s official. “Cornucopia are the best band for Rockaoke we’ve ever heard”. So say Marc and Julie, who hired the band to play for their wedding in Brighton. “We went to see several Rockeoke bands at places like the Roadhouse, but they were all a bit limited in the choice of music they offered. Cornucopia’s song list is massive and covers all sorts of genres. They even accompanied my dad singing some light opera, but still managed the Kings of Leon and Duffy. Richard was also really encouraging, and all our guests left the stage with huge smiles on their faces.”

Unlike many of the bands out there who simply ditch the lead singer and allow a punter to take their place, Cornucopia are experts at making the “guest star” feel a part of what is going on. With the ability to transpose easily and instantaneously, and armed with an extensive songlist (and a vast body of other material just in case), Cornucopia are fast becoming the UK’s number one choice for Rockaoke. It’s much more fun than Karaoke, as it has the live band element, and there is a real sense of achievement from the participants. Move over Chris Moyles. Know your place.

“Cornucopia were fantastic both in the lead up to and their smashing performance on the night of our wedding. They played brilliantly and were exceptionally flexible and able to meet our requests for certain songs and genres that needed to cater for the diversity of our wedding guests – from those in their seventies to the majority being in their late twenties and thirties. They were even able to ad-lib to my 10 year old nephew’s personally composed rap, which really made the day. As we were putting on a home grown wedding in a marquee it was great to have such professionals to help with all our sound needs. Richard had also such a large repertoire of tracks that he was able to feature all of my requested tracks on the playlist for once the band had stopped. We got so many compliments about the band being so much more than your average wedding band, I would recommend them without hesitation.”

Sam, Tunbridge Wells

“Cornucopia performed for our civil partnership reception in June 2010. We held a small (50) party in a Grade II listed venue but the band’s professionalism and focus on providing abundant entertainment was not diminished. From start to finish, the band clearly communicated what they could provide for our evening’s entertainment and fully delivered on service and skill level. Cornucopia definitely created a party atmosphere but were mindful of our needs and our guests’ diversity. We and our guests were clearly impressed by the band and will always mention them to others we meet who are in need of live music for a function. Great band, great musicians, great night! Thank you, Cornucopia!”

Susan & Becky, Surrey

“Richard and his band Cornucopia gave a fantastic performance at our annual Christmas Party in the Natural History Museum. The dancefloor was packed all night and the Rockeoke was such a great surprise and we got to see talent from people we never knew they had!!! Overall it was a great night, It was extremely well organised and Richard was a real pleasure to work with. I look forward to working with him again in the future”

Kerry, Events Coordinator, Coca-Cola Company

‘I cannot say enough about Cornucopia, they really made my 40th birthday
party fantastic.  The dance floor was packed with every set and the music
was amazing…..I have since had lots of requests for their details for
other do’s, so here’s hoping that I get to listen and dance with the band
again soon!!!!!!!!’

Nicki, Surrey

“Cornucopia – great sound, great play-list and looked great on stage. For weeks after our wedding party people commented on how excellent our band were and where on earth did we manage to find them. Cornucopia were also very efficient and reliable with regards to payment and setting-up and clearing away at the end of the night.”

Matt & Lucie, St Albans

“Hi Richard. Many thanks for a wonderful evening at Victoria and Ashley’s wedding on Saturday. Everyone we have spoken to has agreed with us that Cornucopia made the evening special.”

Ian, Kent.
