★★★★
YOUNG Wakefield-born violinist Dominic Ingham went to Guildhall School of Music and has played in bands such as Bonsai and Johnny Mansfield’s Elftet. Created by crowdfunding, Role Models is his first album and musical power and invention flow out of his bow.
His solo curls and winds on a title track in which David Swan’s piano crackles and on Full Mansfield’s keening vibes duets with Ingham’s wordless voice before his violin turns skywards.
