Dom & The Flow (2008-2010) Was an instrumental "prog-pop" band/recording project. Unfortunately we all were always too busy with other things, so we never really gigged, a real shame, in my not so humble opinion. Sam Wooster, trumpet; Daisy Palmer, drums; Alex Pearson, bass; Dom Elias, violas, trombone, keyboards.
