ABOUT PAUL DUNTON ORCHESTRA:
Singer-songwriter, Paul Dunton leads his own unique cross-over orchestra providing an atmospheric mix of folk and pop with a unique classical twist. The Orchestra is comprised of violin, cello, flute, bass, guitar and percussion, Paul himself on keys/vocals and his lead vocalists, Harriet Langley & Kirsti Robinson. In 2016, Paul and the orchestra were featured on BBC Radio 2 by Joan Armatrading with interviews and airplay of one of Paul’s songs, ‘Don’t Forget’. This led to Paul supporting Joan Armatrading on five occasions during her recent UK tours. The brand new single 'Give Me A Reason' is out now on ITunes, Spotify and all renowned digital stores. The new 14 track album ‘Clearly Invisible’ is available at all gigs.

I am a huge fan of the wonderful independent local food & drink establishments however, the one thing I love most about Tunbridge Wells is the amazing cultural scene.
