William Cornysh the Younger (1465 – October 1523) was an English composer, dramatist, actor, and poet, and much more. In his only surviving poem, which was written in Fleet Prison, he claims that he has been convicted by false information and thus wrongly accused, though it is not known what the accusation was. He may not be the composer of the music found in the Eton Choirbook, which may alternatively be by his father, also named William Cornysh, who died c 1502.

Caleb Jones on Vocals, Harmonica, Percussion, Drums, and Guitar. Fred Holston on Tamborine, Keys, and Sitar. And occasionally Spencer Garland on Harmonica and Guitar and Jon Cook on Banjo. The band play many genres including Folk, Folk-Rock, Blues, and Psychedelic.

"LA MORRA performs European music of the period roughly defined by the dates 1300 and 1500 (traditionally referred to as 'late Medieval' and/or 'early Renaissance') with occasional escapades outside this time frame. The ensemble pays particular attention to the secular art song, sacred para-liturgical genres and instrumental music." (http://lamorra.info/profile.html)
