Dubbed the Justin Bieber of folk music, British musican and actor Blair Dunlop is emerging as one of the UK's finest singer-songwriters.

Despite making his first appearance in the 2005 film Charlie and the Chocolate Factory as the young Willy Wonka, it's Dunlop's captivating vocals and songwriting which have caught the UK media's attention, with debut album Blight & Blossom earning him the Horizon Award at the 2013 BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards. Having made a guest appearance on Simon Mayo's Drive Time, not to mention spots at both the Cambridge and London Folk Festivals, 21 year old Dunlop takes his material on the road this November with a UK tour. Beyond that, Dunlop will tour Europe and Australia before releasing his eagerly anticipated second album in May 2014.
