Cornucopia rocked St Patrick’s Hall, Reading University

Cornucopia were selected as the band to play for the St Patrick’s Day Ball organised by St Patrick’s Hall, Reading University. We provided a 4-piece band and entertained a very appreciative crowd, starting with some Irish songs such as “Dirty Old Town” and “The Fields Of Athenry”, then following on during dinner with some jazz. We performed a Bossa version of Jason Mraz’s song “I’m Yours” which went down a storm. They have already asked about our availability for next year…
