Intro
Dominic is an accomplished and well-rounded musician, a powerful communicator and performer, a composer of captivating original music and a pioneering violinist.
He has toured extensively across the UK with his quintet at venues/festivals such as Ronnie Scotts, Kings Place, Love Supreme, Barbican and EFG London Jazz Festival. In 2020 he was nominated for a Parliamentary Jazz award and was also a semi-finalist in the renowned Zbigniew Seifert International Jazz Violin Competition.
In 2020, Dominic released his debut album ‘Role Models’ to critical acclaim, with reviews in BBC Music Magazine, The Scotsman and international publications such as ‘Written in Music’. This self-released record features an arresting suite of lucidly crafted and characterful pieces and showcases Dominic’s distinctive and highly personalised style, rooted in his background of folk and classical music.
Dominic’s current quintet features Jonny Mansfield (vibraphone), Miles Mindlin (guitar), Will Sach (double bass) and Jay Davis (drums). They are frequently touring around the UK, producing a sound that is as lyrically fresh as it is striking dynamically and rhythmically.
Dominic is a keen educator and currently teaches at Chetham’s School of Music and Royal Welsh School of Music and Drama.
