20 years

  • dunnies 20 years

    Twenty years, six albums, two European tours and almost an entire Australian continent later, Sydney's The Dunhill Blues are still getting in the van.

    In 2006, Dan Dunhill was 29-years-old, writing songs on guitar while bouncing his baby boy to sleep in a little chair with his foot. He’d written 10 of them. He’d never played guitar in a band before. He’d never been the singer in a band before, either. But he reckoned he could probably handle it.

    The ambitions were fairly modest: make a proper album, rather than another shitty four-song demo, and get out of Sydney to play somewhere else. Dan hadn’t even been to Melbourne at that point.

    There was never a grand plan to get famous. There wasn’t much expectation of being popular, either. And perhaps that’s part of the reason The Dunhill Blues are still here.
