Louis Dunford

Dunford’s public chronicle of home creates vivid portraits of real people, the persistent spirit of community and a sense of completely unfiltered emotion. Latest single from the album, ‘Billy Flynn of Bethnal Green,’ was inspired by a friend of his father, a former East End boxer who found a new identity in Soho’s drag scene. Meanwhile, also taken from the album, ‘The Local’ celebrates a historic love for the pub and the many characters it houses each weekend. With no airs and graces, Dunford explains, “I wanted it to capture the antics, the sense of community – it’s where I go when I’m up, down, or somewhere in between.”
