About Cornish Connection
Cornish Connection was founded in Liskeard in 1984 and soon after it moved to St Austell where it has been based ever since.
We are a self financed men’s barbershop chorus based in mid Cornwall that raises funds for charity and entertains at functions. Over the years we have performed in most parts of the county. Notable events and fund raising include:

- Millenium coach tour with Radio Cornwall touring the Roseland Peninsula
- By popular request regularly appear at Lostfest
- MacMillan Cancer Support
- Radio Cornwall Mermaid Appeal
- The Merlin Project
- C.L.I.C
- Little Harbour Children’s Hospice
- The W.I.
- Cornwall Hospice Care
- Cornwall Air Ambulance
- Performed on Radio Cornwall
- Guest appearance with City of Truro Male Choir
- Many performances in churches and village halls throughout Cornwall
We sing songs in barbershop style i.e, 4 part harmony a capella, (without accompaniment).
We encourage congenial men of all ages and good character to sing barbershop, in a spirit of good fellowship.
We are happy to give consideration to any appropriate venue that is willing to let us show what we can do, including private functions by arrangement.
The expression of political, religious or other controversial issues are not permitted in our chorus.
Our aims include entertaining people, promoting this art form and encouraging other men to join us and bring the joy of barbershop singing to the wider public.
