Any chance of experiencing live Cornershop in NYC area any time in 2012? I just ~ love ~ you guys and I’ve no idea why you’re not more popular in the US. ‘When I Was Born…’ is my all time favorite album (& that is saying a lot cuz I came of age in the 70′s flanked by classic rock/folk on one end and punk/grunge on the other…and I have developed a huge music collection over the years). Looking forward to hearing your more recent stuff! xo
chicago show yes please.
How about putting up the playlist of the London Islignton show? The gig rocked.
Hey guys, when will you play in India?
Please send me a copy of Jalandar Shere — I lost one to a fire a year ago, and I am missing it terribly. Thanks for your cooperation,
