SATURDAY 20 JUNE 2026

DEAN DYSON Saturday 20 June 2026
Venue:  The Arc     map Categories   Live music
Address:   Jewry Street, Winchester, Hampshire, SO23 8SB
Telephone:  01962 398046
Event:  DEAN DYSON - 7.30pm - To linger a while and listen to Dean is to lose yourself, however momentarily, away from the clamour and chatter of daily life. How to describe his distinctive baritone timbre? Colour, richness, depth? Tick all boxes. How about a generous helping of 80% cacao mellifluousness? Present and correct. A vocal range that can pretty much span the whole nine yards from Paul Robeson to Paul Simon? Access all areas. And there’s an underpinning of effortlessness and confidence that comes from an instinctive musical ability honed by a lifetime of performing. Then stir in his peerless acoustic guitar accompaniment and a vocal phrasing that’s easily up there with the Bennetts and the Bublés of the world and you’re left wondering why this guy’s not on The Pyramid at Glasto’ or at the very least wowing viewers with an intimate set on Later with Jools. Dean’s career has spanned over half a century and he’s showing no sign of slowing down, with 4 original cd's, a healthy Spotify following and a new Patreon channel- patreon.com/DeanDyson
