Cornucopia Diary - come and see us y'all!Cornucopia perform throughout Oxfordshire at folk and dance festivals, mostly in the summer months. Cornucopia can be hired for concerts, wedding receptions (barn dances / ceilidhs) and other celebrations, such as birthday parties and anniversaries, either as a dance team (dancers and band) or just the Shady Grove String Band on their own. We can supply our own PA, caller (and dance floor if required).
