Career
Educated at Kelvinside Academy in Glasgow, Scotland. Dugmore started his musical career at the age of 13 making demo's and sending them to record labels, also playing in covers bands from the age of 16 he learned his craft. Signed to the short lived Coma Records at 16 years he released just one recording on the label. Dugmore moved to London at the age of 18 with his band The Europeans (band) ( Steve Hogarth, Colin Woore & Fergus Harper ) and signed to A&M Records. They released three albums Vocabulary, Live and Recurring Dreams.[5] The band achieved much critical acclaim within the industry but never turned that into albums sales, breaking up shortly after the release of the last album.
His first major recording session after Europeans was Joan Armatrading's Slight of Hand. Soon Dugmore was playing on albums with many major artists from around the world including Tina Turner's Foreign Affairs (UK#1 US#3), Stevie Nicks Other Side of the Mirror (US#1 UK#3), Rod Stewart's single Downtown Train (US#1), Robbie Williams Life through a Lens (UK#1), Demi Lovato's Here we Go Again (US#1), Killing Joke's Pandemonium. He has toured constantly with many major acts worldwide and more recently has been recording with Richard Ashcroft and Newton Faulkner. In 2013 Dugmore produced the debut album for Little Eye.
