Simple names on a piece of paper but then, so much more besides.
​
It's not even about the places, although they are the stages where the stories play out, tales of everyday life and people.
​
It’s these stories that are left holding all the memories, the regrets and
​with luck, ​a good tune.

Dominic Blaazer; singer/songwriter.
Born and raised in Kingston, Jamaica, found myself in London then matured in Auckland.
​
Boys Will Be Boys, 1982 - two Moogs, a Roland and a borrowed Oberheim. Me, Simon and Sarah.
Then came A Riot of Colour with a C86-era John Peel session and three 12" singles, one unreleased. After a spell in The Chills came lounge supremos, The Peter Stuyvesant Hitlist. We took on Vegas without having to leave the country. Smoothy was next, with "The Shock of The Smooth" a shapely calling-card.
Diverse journeys include Phase 5 on Richard Dorfmeister's excellent A Different Drummer Selection and quality-time alongside SJD, Don McGlashan and The Clean, for good measure.
I've absorbed much along the way so welcome to my own world of music.
December 8 & 9 2023

I always wanted to be a frustrated lounge singer.
