Catch the soul of New Orleans in the UK with an irresistible blend of street beats and funk that inspired Jamie Cullum to say "I can't hold a candle to this guy".
Pipkin's band, Dom and the Ikos, takes the New Orleans influence and fleshes it out with drums, harmonies and wailing sax and has been resident at Ronnie Scott's London and around the R'n'B club scene.
He was musical director for Paloma Faith, and has played for Paul Weller, Laura Mvula, Ray Davies, Pee Wee Ellis and John Newman to name a few.
