AudioWhorés are a band made up of 5 friends who put their heads together in the summer of 2010, determined on delivering their own music to whoever would listen, drawing from a gargantuan array of influences from Living Colour, Pearl Jam, Rage Against The Machine, Stone Sour, The Metres and many more.

Although typically playing as an electric act (showcasing original material at such venues as The Water Rats, Camden Rock and ArchAngel), AudioWhorés have stripped back their sound to perform on the local acoustic circuit as well as various bars/clubs in London, particularly Soho, where they have been met with very positive reviews.

It was in late July of 2012 when they headed back into the studio to record their first album (which is due for release in February this year) and, for this month only, they have released their first single 'Slice Of Life' which is available FREE!! Download your copy of it at their bandcamp page.

Singer-songwriter, Paul Dunton leads his own unique cross-over orchestra providing an atmospheric fusion of alternative and pop with a classical twist. Paul & his Orchestra take influences from varying modern day artists such as Pink Floyd, Elbow, ELO, Turin Brakes, Massive Attack, Damien Rice and contemporary composers such as Samuel Barber, Ludovico Einaudi, John Barry and Hans Zimmerman. The Orchestra performs Paul's own compositions and a varied selection of uniquely arranged standards from a wide range of artists. The line-up of 8 violins, 4 cellos, guitar, flute, bass and percussion accompanies Paul on vocals and piano, joined by his lead vocalists, Charlotte Andrew and Poppy Raine. Paul and his Orchestra regularly perform at concerts, festivals and private events throughout the UK and internationally, including headlining the Theatrium Wilhelmstraße Festival in Wiesbaden, Germany and an 8 state tour of the USA which culminated in a spectacular roof-top performance on top of the New York Strand Hotel. Increased attention and success led to the orchestra being featured on BBC Radio 2 by Joan Armatrading with interviews and airplay of one of Paul's songs, 'Don't Forget'. This led to Paul supporting Joan Armatrading on five occasions during her recent UK tours.
