THE PAUL DUNTON ORCHESTRA
🎶 Cinematic Soundscapes & Spellbinding Storytelling 🎶
Prepare for a truly breathtaking musical experience as The Paul Dunton Orchestra takes to the stage! Based in Tunbridge Wells, this genre-blending nine-piece ensemble offers a richly atmospheric fusion of cinematic pop, Americana, and classical influences that is nothing short of electrifying. Led by acclaimed singer-songwriter Paul Dunton, the orchestra delivers an unforgettable performance of original compositions and uniquely arranged classics, from the timeless sounds of Fleetwood Mac and Daisy Jones & The Six, to the haunting beauty of Massive Attack, Elbow and London Grammar.
Having shared stages with the likes of Keane, McFly, Sophie Ellis Bextor, Rick Astley, Ward Thomas, Keifer Sutherland, KT Tunstall, and toured with Joan Armatrading across the UK.
They feature an elegant line-up of cello, violin, flute, piano, guitar, percussion, and soaring vocals. The orchestra captivates with every note, and their international tours have wowed audiences from Germany to the USA, and have earned accolades from BBC Radio 2 and Joan Armatrading herself.
This is not just a gig; it’s a cinematic journey of emotion and sound. Their latest single ‘Oxygen’ is already making waves, and now’s your chance to experience them live in an unforgettable setting.
