Francis Dunnery

The onetime frontman from the progressive rock group It Bites, singer/songwriter Francis Dunnery was created on Christmas Day, 1962 in Egremont, Cumbria, U.K. His tenure with It Bites started in 1984, and after three LPs concluded in 1990; throughout that period Dunnery created the Tapboard, a distinctive guitar-like instrument installed with such unusual accessories being a shower line and an egg timer. Turning towards a far more conventional pop audio, he released his first single album, Thanks for visiting the Wild Nation, in 1991, and in 1993 performed electric guitar in Robert Plant’s touring music group; his initial Atlantic work, Fearless, implemented a year afterwards. After 1995’s Fearless, Dunnery released a live work titled One Evening in Sauchiehall Road; upon departing Atlantic, he agreed upon with Razor and Link release a Let’s Go Perform WHAT GOES ON in 1998. A follower of astrology and metaphysics, he also published “MusicScopes,” a every week horoscope column for Billboard publication.
