Born and brought up in the rural but working class areas of Cumbria, England home to the incongruous twins of coal mining and Wordsworth, Francis Dunnery took up the drums at age 11. Swiftly embracing the more melodic guitar, bass and keyboards he developed his own inimitable style. The group It Bites were his passport to London and a record company deal. Signed by Virgin Records in 1985 the bands' weird time signatures and lack of visual artifice were the antithesis of the preceding years of make-up and confused sexuality. Francis has recently embarked on a House Concert World Tour that has literally taken him into living rooms throughout the world. The House Concerts allow him the opportunity to combine his life stories, educational interests and amazing musical talents into an intimate life changing evening. However, the big Francis Dunnery news is after many many months of recording, Francis has just released a new album entitled, There's A Whole New World Out There. This new album is a timeless recording featuring songs that span Francis' 30 year career
