Bio
Dominic Dunn’s punchy, innovative songs are evolving into a genre of their own. The 16 year old lad from Kirkdale in Liverpool is a hard working musician whose extensive gigging in Liverpool and London has garnered interest from many. Guardian journalist Sachin Nakrani recently tweeted, ‘Dominic is the Coutinho of music, young gifted and from Liverpool.’ Named as Liverpool Echo’s One to Watch in both 2013 and 2014, his recent successes include playing at the Liverpool Music Awards and the London Paralympics and Liverpool Sound City. He has shared stages with Miles Hunt & Erica Nockalls of The Wonderstuff, Daniel Bedingfield, Ian Prowse and Zappa guitarist Denny Walley and supported Luka Bloom and Damien Dempsey as part of the Liverpool Irish Festival. The official video for Dominic's latest song, 'Keep Them Tight' was featured as 'Video of the Day' by BBC Radio 6's Tom Robinson on Fresh on the Net. Tom described the song as 'an assured debut' and said Dominic is 'one to watch'.

Bido Lito (Issue 40) said 'He puts on a valiant effort for a one man show and it would be interesting to see his soulful pop with a full backing band'. Dominic is now working with a full backing band and they made their debut with him at the Liverpool Live TV gig in Eric's in November. The gig was very well received and the bookings are now coming in fast.
Dominic's next gig with the band is at The Zanzibar on January 30th as part of the national initiative, Independent Venue Week which is in partnership with BBC Introducing & Domino Records among others and is supported by Frank Turner and Phil Selway of Radiohead. The aim of the project is to shine a spotlight on the smaller venues that provide the lifeblood to the up and coming music scene. Dominic said, 'I'm made up to be involved with the first ever Independent Venue Week. I organise underage events in Liverpool and independent venues offer the platforms for the next generation of musicians. Not all young musicians are interested in the x-factor route, some of us are keen to serve our time and we wouldn't be able to do that if smaller venues didn't provide a place for us to play.
February finds them in Alexander's in Chester on February 13th followed quickly by a full band set in the very cool District on February 14th. Dominic will also be playing at St George's Hall on March 22nd at a charity event for Fazakerley 9.
Dominic was asked to write a song in memory of Anne Williams who lost her son Kevin at Hillsborough. After Anne's family heard the song they asked him to record it. The Lord Mayor of Liverpool, Gary Millar organised it for Dom to record the track in Parr St Studios and Dom has now legally signed all rights to the song over to For Justice, the Hope for Hillsborough charity. The single will be released in March with every penny made going to the chartiy. #JFT96 You can find out more about this here: http://www.theangel2014.co.uk/
Dominic has organised underage live music events in Liverpool since he was 14. He now runs a monthly underage showcase in collaboration with David Barnicle at Brink on Parr Street. This is a free event, the artists don't have to sell tickets, they can play anything from one song to a full set, covers or originals and the aim is to allow young musicians to build their confidence and their fan base by playing live.
