So if you fancy something new to watch while hunkered down at home, we have pulled together a highlights video from the NAC show last November. So - you could mirror your phone/tablet to your TV or, if you can access YouTube direct from your TV then load it up…pull up a chair…crank up the volume (or, put on your headphones) pour a glass of something nice…get the nibbles out….and get Kornastoned with us for the next 50 mins - and DON’T MISS the band isolation quick fire question at the end of the video 😂 Watch the video: https://youtu.be/jjxeFZWjZiE

           Featured tracks: Love & War - Slipstream - Wrong Side of Love - Princess of the Night - A Sad Cliche - Sunset Line - Rock N Soul - Eloise           -         Oh My Days

May 2018 

• Cornerstone - Facebook – YouTube – Single Release - Taken Down . After some 15 years performing as Cornerstone and having finally got around to putting our heads above the parapet it seems our recent publicity and the release of “Taxi Rank” as a single has got us noticed in other lands!There is another band from Austria who are also called Cornerstone and they hold a registered trademark for the name.          We tried to hold onto our name in the UK but due to them holding the trademark they were able to insist on having our YouTube, Facebook and the single ‘Taxi Rank’ taken down. Anyway, rather than go for a complete new name, and after reaching agreement with Cornerstone Austria, we have changed the band name to Kornastone – and re branded the website www.kornastone.com - We have had to restart a new Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/kornastoneuk - Although now lost your endless support, comments and 1000's of views over the last few months on our original page have been massively uplifting and encouraging – it has meant a lot to us and we have really appreciated it - so please re follow us at our new page as we start the journey again. At the end of the day it’s the music that counts – keep it real folk.
