Francis Dunnery, co-founder of It Bites, has had a fascinating career, collaborating with legends like Robert Plant and Santana. In a recent interview, he shared insights about his life, career, and the music industry.

Dunnery reminisced about his time with Plant, describing it as ‘the biggest guitar job in the world.’ He emphasized the importance of embracing opportunities as they come and letting go when they leave. His unpredictable career has seen him navigate the highs and lows of the music scene, from the success of It Bites to his solo ventures.

Reflecting on the evolution of progressive rock, Dunnery noted that while much of it has become a caricature, it still holds a special place for fans. He believes in the power of music as escapism, even if it may seem pointless at times.

As he continues to perform with It Bites FD and explore new projects, Dunnery remains committed to his artistic vision, proving that the journey of a musician is as important as the destination.
