Our Artist Partners
dad rock covers
Local covers band playing dad rock hits from every decade since the 60s. Classic riffs, big choruses, guaranteed singalongs. Pubs, parties, weddings and events.
“We love Dewsboz and local music is destined to be huge again once the AI takes over recorded music and people need to see humans being creative.”
accoustic covers
Just John has been gigging all around the local music scene since 2006. Marking this year as his 20th year as a performer! John performs acoustic solo covers of ‘music that moves me’ from the 70s to modern. Performed in a relaxed style with great audience interaction and a touch of comedy.
“I am a founding member of the group. DMF works to create a more sustainable grassroots music economy for all involved. Fair play, fair share, community at its core.”
alternative rock
Influences from rock, punk, noise, life, headaches, mistakes. Soundtrack to make better days. Especially on a Monday. We rehearse at The Comrades in Heckmondwike, a long-time supporter of its local music scene. Alternative rock trio influenced by decades of rock, punk, alternative music and more.
“Our singer John is a founding member of the group and has always worked hard for the local scene. DMF has created a group and community to share the load and broaden the reach and audiences of the artists involved. We also aim to continue to work with venues to create a greater and stronger local music grassroots economy.”
various, from drum n bass to soul, blues, rock and house music
In his time Pat Fulgoni has sung across many genres and worked with festival headlining producers from Zion Train to Camo & Krooked, from London Electricity to Murdock to Coldcut to the Red Bull Symphonic Orchestra and a range of weird and wonderful sounds including with Jeff Buckley / Capt Beefheart guitarist Gary Lucas (NYC).
He’s toured the world as a live artist from the USA to China throughout Europe and as part of legendary Huddersfield band Kava Kava. Pat runs a small independent record label, and his music has been featured in US TV shows including Weeds (Lionsgate), John From Cincinnati (HBO), Dirt (Disney) and award-winning independent films and computer games.
Billboard Magazine USA wrote of a live performance in Austin, Texas “Fulgoni could sing a pearl from its oyster”. Blues Matters Magazine adds “completely blown away because he can sing, I mean really sing, ridiculously well” Pat’s 2024 “Pat Fulgoni Blues Experience” album sees him return to soul blues and has received considerable acclaim, a no 3 in the UK blues airplay charts and a nomination in the UK Blues Awards while in dance music circles Mixmag said “classy, finely crafted vocal silk” and DJ Magazine wrote: “deliriously flowing soul”.

RECENT MUSIC RELEASES
“We are involved because we share the same beliefs that together we are stronger. We also believe in supporting local venues as they need custom more than ever to survive and hopefully thrive in the current climate. It’s also a great way of bringing people of different beliefs and cultures together in an ever-divided society.”
alternative metal
5 Piece Alternative Metal band from West Yorkshire. Taking inspiration from nu metal acts such as Korn, Deftones and System of a Down, and doom/sludge metal bands like Swallow The Sun and Crowbar. Songs are built around aggressive drop tuned riffs, fast tremolo picked sections, and slower haunting melodies. With a mix of powerful hash vocals and melodic singing. We call our style Gloom and Groove.

“Being a part of DMF allows us to help push the local scene and work with other bands to create bigger and better shows.”
indie/punk/rock
We are the ‘Rollin Twenties’ – a 3 piece Alternative Rock Band From West Yorkshire. Established in 2019, Daniel Favela and Niall Smith built a local buzz playing open mic nights blasting their own brand of catchy acoustic alt indie until they found permanent drummer Liam Sullivan in 2022. After a couple of busy summers with releases and lots of successful shows the Rollin Twenties are definitely ones to watch in 2026. Their new release BRIDGES caught label interest so expect some big announcements.
