The Grey Lady Music Lounge, Wednesday 25th July 2012

Paul’s music is best described as an atmospheric fusion of alternative & pop with a unique classical twist! He composes and performs both instrumental pieces and songs. With influences such as modern day artists; Elbow, Rufus Wainwright, Zero 7, Pink Floyd, Turin Brakes and drawing inspiration from composers such as Einaudi, John Barry and Samuel Barber; singer-songwriter Paul Dunton offers something different. With national reviews hailing the breath taking live sound and sheer originality and atmosphere of his works, The Tunbridge Wells based performer has firmly made his mark on the musical landscape. Paul cites his fellow band members as a key reason for his growing success. "Technically, I am a songwriter with a band, however it's really not like that, we are a very close, united team. I feel incredibly lucky to be surrounded by a group of incredible musicians, who are also great friends of mine. I owe so much to them". Paul’s string & flute arrangements are often composed by Miriam Evans, Jenny Maslin, Paul himself, Becky Andrew and Hazel Ross. Paul's Ensemble and Orchestra are regularly performing both nationally and internationally with encouraging success and were recently featured on BBC Radio 2 by Joan Armatrading with a selection of interviews and airplay of Paul's song 'Don't Forget'.

“It was a great show, Will has some big talent” – Dave Rowett, London’s Barfly

Will is turning 16 at the end of May and been garnering the attention of the public and industry in equal measure, for the last year or so. He’s been a regular feature on the live scene in Kent for a while, and there are big hopes for him from grass roots supporters.

He is lyrically beyond his years with a voice full of soul and can nail a song like the best of them. And he steps up to the live challenge as well. He supported Tom Odell in Manchester earlier this year and Tom subsequently tweeted about how impressed with Will he was.

He is currently in the middle of GCSEs after which he’s in the studio writing, inbetween more live gigs around the country over the summer; there will be a new tune available for download in July.

Louis has put together a debut set for The Grey Lady and he hopes this is start of a long and successful journey.
