Paul Dunton

Paul's music is best described as contemporary piano based pop with a classical twist! The live sound features Paul's distinct pure tones and engaging piano melodies which are embellished further by beautifully crafted string and flute arrangements which Paul and his ‘Crew' compose together. Paul's regular Crew members include; Jenny Maslin, Charlotte Andrew, Anna Wynne, Cecilia Lamon, Geri Holton, Hazel Ross (violins), Miriam Evans, Ann Lines, Liz Curtis and Caroline Stead (cellos), Lianna Jeffrey, Phoebe Stamford, Fleur Chaffé and Becky Andrew (flutes) and Fiona Keeler on harmony vocals. Paul's current album entitled; ‘Train of Thought' has enjoyed very positive national reviews; "Train of Thought has a solid consistency, both in quality and tone achieving a solid equilibrium between the importance of lyricism, timeless songwriting and the passion driving both''. He is due to provide the soundtrack for an upcoming international film release and continues to actively gig across the country at numerous prominent venues, including a recent performance at London's British Design Museum. Paul is due to release his third album later this year. The album is to be recorded live at The Ship Theatre, Sevenoaks in October.

His twice weekly show entitled ‘An Evening with Paul Dunton & Guests' at The Grey Lady Music Lounge situated on the Pantiles in Tunbridge Wells is regarded as one of the finest acoustic music evenings in the South East with the focus concentrated on local soloists and acoustic bands. Such is the demand to play at the show, Paul currently has 142 local acts performing on a regular rotation offering unparallel variety and the standard of musicianship, songwriting and vocal talent is first class. Paul expanded the shows to the revered ‘Music Room' at Pizzaexpress Maidstone earlier this year and to the ‘Music Club' at The Bull Inn situated in Benenden both on a bi monthly basis and every show to date has sold out!
