John And Wayne

John Dunnery and Wayne Wilkinson are from Cumbria in the North West of England. They have been in rock bands since they were teenagers but on leaving school they both became qualified carpenters. Music has always been their passion and after years of working away from home, they decided to concentrate on what they love best, music! Both talented songwriters, their songs are inspired by everyday things and particularly their days working at the joinery.

On this tour, backing vocals were provided by the stunning voice of Dorie Jackson.
