Information

Original It Bites frontman and guitar virtuoso Francis Dunnery returns to The Band following his triumphant visit last year.

Joining Dunnery on stage for the first ever live performances of one of his most popular albums are drummer Tony Beard (Crosby, Stills & Nash, Hall and Oates, Johnny Winter), bass player Jamie Bishop (Anna Rose, John Eichleay, Stratospheerius), keyboard player David Sancious (Bruce Springsteen, Peter Gabriel, Sting) and backing vocalist Dorie Jackson (Chris Difford, William Topley). All the band members have worked with Dunnery on previous projects.

"This is a pretty intense band. The Fearless CD stretches from beautiful textures to extremely aggressive fusion rock music, so I need a band who can stretch that far and remain authentic. You can't teach people this stuff, you either 'is' or you 'isn't'.” Francis Dunnery

Advance booking recommended.

This concert will begin at 8pm but Picturehouse Cafe Bar open for drinks and delicious food from 5.30pm.
