Today, our very own **Damian Ford** sat down with **Norman Wong** on **Meridian FM** for an in-depth chat about all things **Damo & The Dominos**, Clapton, tone chasing, and what it really means to bring the *24 Nights* experience to life in 2025.

The full audio is now available below — but here’s a quick look at what we covered for those of you tuning in for the first time…

---

### “It’s About the Feel – Not the Wig”

Right from the top, Damian explained what makes **Damo & The Dominos** different:

> *“We’re not trying to be Eric. We’re trying to honour the spirit of the music — and deliver it the way he did with those incredible bands behind him.”*

We’re not a lookalike act. No wigs. No miming. Just six dedicated musicians recreating the live Clapton experience, exactly as fans remember it — raw, soulful, and completely **live**.

### Building Momentum — And Praise from the Hubs

Following our recent run of shows, including a packed night at **The Hampton Hub**, the feedback has been nothing short of electric. Venue owner **Chris Grace** had this to say:

> *"Thanks for a fab night. Every song was banging and the harmonies were spot on. Customer feedback has been brill. Happy gigging and your show is deffo one not to be missed. See you next year… KEEPING IT LIVE!"*

This kind of response reminds us why we do it — and it’s why venues are starting to take notice. There’s a hunger for proper, fully live tribute shows, and we’re proud to be setting the standard.

> *“When people say it gave them goosebumps or brought back memories of Cream — that’s when you know you’ve done something right.”*
