About Dominic Longhurst
Dominic Longhurst is an Australian musician who plays cornet and flugel horn. Dominic’s performances have received critical acclaim - including enthusiastic praise from his musical hero, James Morrison.
Dominic wanted to play music all his life. As soon as he could talk, he wanted to play the trombone. At age four Dominic received a mini trombone as a gift. He started brass lessons on that instrument in July 2004. With his interest in wind instruments piqued, he joined the Blue Mountains City band in October 2004 – on his eighth birthday. The band gave Dominic a cornet and he proved to be a natural. Six months later, Dominic’s talent with the instrument saw him compete with the band playing the 3rd cornet part at the National Band Championships.
