Dominic is the bass player for CUTTING CREW, COMBINATION HEAD and JIM DIAMOND as well as being a respected session bass player he has recently started a solo career as a singer songwriter first solo CD 'Avalon' is out now. Most of the new wave of singer-songwriters seeking to copy the success of the melodic songs with clever lyrics from the likes of David Gray and Damien Rice have emerged either from the ranks of the bedroom studio guitarists or tend to be opportunist band leaders who have sensed which way the commercial winds are blowing. Dominic Finley feels most affinity towards another strand of intelligent songwriting which starts at Brian Wilson and Paul McCartney in the sixties and flows through early Elton John, Gilbert O'Sullivan, Michael Franks (whose songs have been recorded by Manhattan Transfer, Diana Krall, The Carpenters & Patti LaBelle) and Jim Diamond through to Ben Folds and Roddy Frame (Aztec Camera). Their songs are characterised by a greater harmonic complexity and feed from a wider range of influences (including soul, jazz and classic R&B) than most of the strummer-singers as he starts his career as a solo singer-songwriter. Since 2005 Dominic has been a member of a reformed version of the Grammy nominated, multi-million sellers Cutting Crew, still featuring singer Nick van Eede.. The band has toured heavily playing in the US, Canada, Europe and the UK and some of Dominic's personal highlights have included playing alongside such famous names as Supertramp (on seminal German music show, 'Rockpalast') , Robin Gibb, Midge Ure and Howard Jones. The band is currently working on a new project and Dominic potentially has a couple of co-writes on their forthcoming album.
