Dominie Hooper

7.30pm doors

Conjuring an otherworld of doomy-droney guitars, gouging cello and ritualistic collective voice, Dominie Hooper brings new material to Bristol this May.
For those that don't know, the DIY multi-instrumentalist originates from Dartmoor and is a singular force — her voice is strikingly powerful, her songwriting rugged and dramatic, all propelled by her cello and a blistering live band. Think the brooding swagger of ‘I Want To See The Bright Lights Tonight’, the raw intensity of Magnolia Electric Co., and the harrowing energy of PJ Harvey & John Parish.
2024 was a packed year kicking off with a UK tour supporting This Is The Kit and playing festival circuits incl. Deer Shed, Moseley Folk and Shambala, tearing up two headline UK tours of her own, galvanising her fans with a huge crowdfunder for the making of her debut album. With support from Help Musicians, PRSF and spins on BBC’s 6Music, Introducing, Radio 2, Radio Scotland, RTÉ 2 and more under her belt, 2025 is the year to join the growing number of eyes and ears eagerly awaiting this promising debut.
"Excellent" - Gideon Coe, BBC 6Music
"Gorgeous" - Chris Hawkins, BBC 6Music
"Brilliant" - Nemone BBC 6Music

"I like that a LOT...super talented" - Claire Cavanagh, BBC Radio Bristol

"A London-based artist that I think you should know about…" - Nessy Monaghan RTÉ 2XM
“Confident and impressive” - Fatea Magazine
Support on the night comes from Moya Silk - dreampop bubblegrunge rockers from Exeter.
