An Evening With The Dunwell Brothers Band

The Dunwell Brothers Band are holding a special concert in January at the Brudenell Social Club in Leeds.

The band have been invited to showcase at the Folk Alliance Conference in Memphis, Tennessee in February and are using this concert to raise the funds to help them get over to the states. The group recently completed a 40 date tour of the UK on the back of their debut EP and this is their first gig in Leeds for three months.

The evening will also feature a very special guest - the fantastic Lucie Silvas.

Don't miss what is sure to be a spectacular night of music with more special guests still to be announced!

The Dunwell Brothers Band is fronted by Joseph and David Dunwell who have both been professional solo performers on the Yorkshire circuit for many years. In August 2009 they decided to form a band, and they subsequently recruited Halifax musician Lee Dawson (Double Bass) Jonny Lamb from Yeadon (Drums), and David Hanson from Pudsey (Guitar). All five band members are strong vocalists allowing the group to perform stunning vocal harmonies live. The musics genre has been described differently by each and every fan ranging from Alternative, Acoustic, Country, Rock and a combination of the four.

The Band recorded live at ITV Studios in 2009 and the show was broadcast on Calendar to millions of people regionally across Yorkshire and Humberside. Theyve also performed on BBC Radio Leeds several times, recording a special Jingle which any supporters of Leeds United may recognize from the match-day broadcasts! The band already has a huge web presence with in excess of 4000 fans signed up to their various fan pages.

In December 2009 the band celebrated the completion of their debut single Elizabeth with an intimate show at Seven Artspace in Chapel Allerton which sold out in the first week of ticket sales meaning another show the following night had to be arranged to cope with demand. After the two shows the Telegraph and Argus commented, With their easy going nature, their sheer enjoyment of playing and supreme musicianship this band looks set to burst onto a much wider scene. You can almost taste the expectancy.Their self funded Debut single Elizabeth was released on the 1st March 2010 which reached number 31 in the UK independent release charts.

March 2010 saw the band following in the footsteps of many great bands, playing to a full house at the Brudenell Social Club in Leeds strangely enough supported by Scars On 45 who were signed to Atlantic in 2009. The Keep Music Alive blog said, Their polished performance at the Brudenell Social Club recently, emphasized a band which could be described, harmony-wise, as an acoustic/country boy band, but with personality and music acumen by the truckload. The Grateful Dead set a benchmark for brilliant harmonic compositions, now prepare yourself for the musical explosion of a local band that are destined for greatness.The band has since been making an impact on the London music scene, wowing audiences at venues such as The Bedford and The Regal Room which has been responsible for breaking the likes of Paolo Nutini and Newton Faulkner.2010 will see the band touring extensively in the UK and playing the world famous Fete de la Musique in Paris to promote their debut EP which will be released early in October.

In September 2010 they play their biggest gig to date in front of 10,000 people, supporting Radio 1 festival band of the year Mumford & Sons at the Triumph motorcycle summer event at Mallory Park race course.
