My latest EP 'The Relentless Tide' is tribute to my late father: to show that where there is loss, there is also still hope, love, joyful memories, and the eternal spirit of a being that can stay with you forever more. It's currently available on Bandcamp (as well as the usual platforms) to download and stream.

Dukes of New York - the B-movie of music - pop/rock band from the UK, with an interest in guitars, bad/good movies, retrogaming and pizza... 

A long time ago, in a Suffolk town far, far away… Three different duo’s stepped into a magic wardrobe, and on the other side - the “Dukes of New York” were born! Well, that’s our story and we’re sticking to it… 

The Dukes are:
Philip Bradbrook - Bass
Michelle Major-Butler - Vox, Backing Vox
Will Hessey - Guitar, Vox
Zoe Bradbrook - Vox, Backing Vox

Our shiny new single is called “Poor You”. With Zoe singing the lead vocal, it’s a song about refusing to kowtow to the follies of the tame and the fake. It’s available on all digital download/streaming platforms such as Spotify, iTunes, and Apple Music, as well as our Bandcamp page.

It’s our fidgety relentlessness to not stay still that has led to playing festivals and gigs across the UK and Europe, radio airplay in the USA, and being involved in rather super projects with such acts as Electric Six and Eagles of Death Metal.

So keep your eyes out - your ears peeled - you never know where we’ll pop up next…

DoNY xx
