held at The Wardrobe Theatre
on Tuesday 7th June. The event starts at 20:00.
Dominie Hooper is a singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist from Dartmoor. Following years as a collaborator and session musician (working with the likes of Yola, Alabaster Deplume, and Band of Burns), 2022 sees the launch of her ambitious solo project. With a sound drawing on English folk, classical music, alt-rock, and avant-garde pop, Hooper’s work defies easy categorisation, pushing the boundaries of standard folk and singer-songwriter fare. Mikey Kenney, Phil Self (Cocos Lovers, Will Varley), and Corrie Dick (Dinosaur) complete Hooper’s brand new ensemble with an electrifying on-stage connection, promising to make an undeniable impact on the world of contemporary folk and beyond.
“We arrived two days into the festival on Friday, in time to witness the angelic tones of Dominie Hooper. The seasoned collaborator and session musician has only just begun stepping out with her own material, and the breadth of her talent is immediately apparent. The original songs, performed perfectly, tread the line of other genres like dream-pop and more alternative styles of folk, whilst keeping the universal folky appeal. Even if “folk” isn’t your bag, Hooper has much to offer and could happily sit on a bill of indie bands as a pure folk bill.” - Under The Radar Magazine
