About Me

cute myspace layouts

Hi,I'm Andrew Dunmore, and I'm a 21 year-old musician from Leicester, England. I have been playing the piano/keyboard for eleven years, and also have some experience on guitar, mandolin and harmonica.
In 2007 I started to perform live solos and duets, which would normally last for around 30 minutes. I was also part of the rock & soul covers band 'Jack-L' playing keyboards, from December 2007 to January 2009, when we split up. I played 23 gigs with them in 2008.
I also write a lot of my own songs, which is primarily what I play when I do solo performances. I recently recorded my first album 'Road To Freedom' which has been available to listen to and download since January 2009. There are twelve songs on the album, all written by myself except one that I co-wrote and performed with Louise Steel. So far four of these songs: 'Lonesome Renegade', 'Braver Than You Think', 'No Looking Back This Time' and 'Drunken Chickens', have received airplay on a local radio station, 103FM The Eye.
I'm currently at De Montfort University, Leicester, studying Creative Writing & Journalism. I'm in my last year of a three year course. It's going fine at the minute, nothing too complicated.
Feel free to listen to the songs on my profile and comment if you wish. I appreciate any form of feedback. :)
