Cornerstone to play Pop Overthrow festival

cornerstoneIn  the middle of May, Cornerstone will take part at the Pop Overthrow Festival in Liverpool, their second time at the festival.  This event usually takes place in the U.S.A., but also in two European cities – London and Liverpool – therefore the band will perform in the legendary CAVERN-CLUB, where also nobody less than the BEATLES appeared.  Remarkably Cornerstone were asked by the booker himself about their participation, even before the official booking for the festival started – so maybe they might have attracted attention to some people with their stage performance back in 2012…

The times and other details will be announced within the next few weeks.

Cornerstone’s latest single, “Smalltown Boy”, which was recorded in aid for the Nottingham Hospital, hit the Austrian Charts and was at number 50 at Christmas.  The band didn’t expect to be that successful: “With our promotion work, we actually concentrated more on the UK, because basically we recorded the song for an English charity project. So we are very surprised, that the Single is now successful in Austria, but we’re happy about that, of course!”, said guitar player Steve Wachelhofer. In Great Britain, the Single was represented by more than 40 radio stations and does now appear on many playlists. So things are shaping up well for Cornerstone and they might hit the Charts in the UK as well, pretty soon…
