David Dawkes is proud of his family's connection with the music industry. It was his grandfather who formed Dawkes Music. After losing hearing in one ear from playing in a band, his grandfather took to repairing instruments in his garage. This is where their family business began. From simple beginnings, the company grew over the years thanks to the dedicated family members involved, such as David and his brother Jon. They are now running 24 Dawkes Music retail shops throughout the United Kingdom.
