About

'Genre' - Rock 'n' Roll, Rock, R 'n' B, Soul, Indie, Pop

Cornerstones are:
Lead Vocals and Guitar - Steve
Guitar, Piano and Backing Vocals - Pete
Drums - Stu
Bass - Paul


Cornerstones were originally formed in the early 1990s but stopped performing in 1996. A twelve year break followed, after which, during 2009, Cornerstones were quickly gigging again and very busy playing at various venues around the North West. Original members - Steve, Pete and Stu were joined by Luiz on bass. 2010 saw us taking a break for various reasons but we were back gigging again by 2011 with Jackie on bass. As she was subsequently forced to take some time off, we currently have the excellent Paul on bass.

The repertoire on here shows most of the songs that Cornerstones have played and we are committed to adding new songs to further expand on this.

Some amateur videos of our live gigs can be found here:

Steve also performs as a solo artist. More information on this can be seen here: http://nwb.co/stevesolo21

Pete performs as a piano player and does session work and gigs with various other musicians. He is also playing some gigs with a new 5 piece band called 'Dose' - www.dose.me.uk
