Later in 2008, the album was remixed with much of it re-recorded, this time with Cornish working on his own. The album re-released at the end of April 2009. Cornish wrote, sang and performed all the tracks on the album, in his home studio in Edinburgh.[1] with Simon Berriman (drums) and Bevis Hungate (piano) contributing. They also form part of Cornish's live band. Cornish has been played on BBC Radio 1,[2] BBC Radio 2,[3] BBC 6 Music[4] and XFM Scotland.

He also played piano in Williams' band.[15] In 2014, Cornish toured the UK with his own band and also supported Alison Moyet on various dates including The Royal Albert Hall in London.[16] Cornish's fourth album, Beyond the Serenade, was released in May 2015.
