Singer/songwriter Rob Dunsford is based in Mid Wales & Shropshire. A late-developer, Rob only started taking his music-making seriously in the past few years and has been pleasantly surprised by the warm reception his music has received.Appearances at SolFest, Workhouse Festival and Sheep Music Festival in 2009 have exposed him to wider audiences and he hopes to play yet more festivals in 2010.
Early in 2009 Rob's music caught the attention of the Wonder Stuff's Miles Hunt who invited Rob to contribute three songs to a compilation album called 'Shared' which was released in the Summer of 2009 to great reviews from the industry and public alike.
Rob is currently taking time out from his busy gigging schedule to record his debut album.

Record Collector Magazine review'Shared' album reviewed in Record Collector Magazine
"Rob's songs truly are extensions of his personality. The three songs he chose to record for this album embody the same intelligence, humour and curious confessional nature that are immediately apparent when you sit down to share a pint with him. Mo & Bob Macauley had often rhapsodised to both Erica and I of Rob's performances at the Horseshoe Inn and when we finally saw him play we fully understood their enthusiasm.... I've seen him silence an audience far too many times to consider him anything less than a true songsmith"
