Cory launch online television channel

If you want your fix of all things Cory, then all you have to do is switch on and sit back and enjoy...

Harper and Cory in action
 

Welsh champions Cory have announced the launch of Cory TV, a dedicated online outlet that will feature related news, interviews and documentaries, which will be available initially through the band's website.

Promote

Musical Director Philip Harper told 4BR: "One of my objectives at Cory is to further promote the famous name, and of course it’s fabulous music, across the world.

Cory TV will be one way we can reach a wider global audience, and I'm delighted to be able to launch the new venture with a short documentary style interview with ex-soprano player Gwyn Thomas in celebration of Cory's historic National hat-trick 30 years ago."

From these small acorns, we hope to build a much more extensive archive of content over the coming months and years which will reflect the rich heritage of the Cory BandMD, Philip Harper

Build

He added: "From these small acorns, we hope to build a much more extensive archive of content over the coming months and years which will reflect the rich heritage of the Cory Band."
