Watch The Dunwells perform new single Summertime in Leeds city centre pop-up show

Brothers Joe and Dave Dunwell performed three micro-shows on Friday, celebrating the release of their new single Summertime.

They performed the upbeat single, as well as other records, outside Sociable Folk at 1pm, Café Nero at 2.30pm and City Square at 4pm.

The folk band will release an EP with four new tracks on June 18.

It comes after the brothers played over two hundred and twenty free live shows reaching over a million views since the start of lockdown.

Their daily 'live' gigs provide a dose of positivity and support for fans tuning in and the brothers are committed to uplifting fans with their music.

As well as writing new music for their own band, the brothers co-wrote and produced music with several other artists including Lucy Spraggan, Megan O’Neill , Since September, Beth McCarthy, Lucy May Walker and Christian Burrows.

They have recently hosted “The Dunwells Music Masterclasses” in schools to inspire young musicians to write music themselves.

Joe and Dave Dunwell said: “We were blown away by how many people kept tuning in every day and sharing their positive stories including fans from all over the world.

"This helped inspire our new music which is optimistic, upbeat and celebrates the world re-opening."
