About Me

Dom Pipkin is a piano player from London UK. Taught himself the blues alongside "the grades" as a kid, dug into jazz sometime after, and was booted out of the Royal Academy Of Music sometime in '92.

Regular player with Fallen Heroes - ska/New Orleans group from London, and with Errol Lintons Blues Vibe - reggae and ska meets delta blues.

As a sideman, Dom works/has worked with Kevin Davy Group, Morcheeba - on "Big Calm", David Byrne, Shy FX, Cornershop, Lauren Dalrymple, Trudi Kerr, John O Leary, Pauline Black

Dom performs solo piano too, with a strong New Orleans approach, and leads a band called The Ikos (pronounced "ikoes") which is again heavy on that New Orleans funk.
