Freefall Band

Dominic Hazell (Guitarist + Singer)

Born way back in time, on the other side of the world, Dominic has spent the last 20 years traveling, performing and singing to hundreds of thousands of tourists and locals alike delivering night after night, be it solo, in duos, trios or bigger bands.
His soulful voice and knack for catching the true essence of each song he performs has won him fans the world over, aided by his very English charm.
He has earned nearly 500,000 hits on his You Tube page and has performed well over 5000 gigs in New Zealand in the last 18 years.
Dominic is a solid performer with an impressive repertoire, a sparkling sense of humor and a cheeky glint in his eye.
He is a passionate husband and father of two and has never, ever thrown a TV out of a hotel windows, ever!

Pol Nicholson (Guitarist + Singer)

Pol has been musical since he could first speak finding the missing harmonies in the family car sing alongs.

He studied Popular music in his teens, traveled for a few years and then eventually settled down in Queenstown in 2010.
Pol has played over 3000 shows around New Zealand since then and continues to write and record.

He continues to travel each year when winter comes around and lives the quiet life with his partner, dog and cat.

Pol hopes to continue performing until he's 140.

In 2015 he released a reflective Solo album Twenty Three available on I-tunes.

Matty J Baker (Bass / Lead Guitar)

Coming from Australia, Matty J picked up a guitar at age 12, and in the first 6 months of teaching himself the instrument, he was playing guitar, bass and drums in 5 different bands - and then rapidly progressed to performing in pubs and clubs when he was only 14! During this time, he formed the Gold record-awarded band Thirsty Merc, signed a major label deal with Warner Music, and spent the next 10 years touring all over the country. Following on from the success of the band, he went into freelance live and studio session work, playing and recording for some of Australia's biggest artists and studios. In 2009, he was invited to perform in China, and has spent the last 10 years performing, musical directing, and managing bands all over the globe in top-level Clubs and Casinos in varied places such as several cities in China, Malaysia, Macau, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Bahrain, Dubai, and many more. Having worked for international 5-Star hotel clients such as ShangriLa, Hilton, Kempinski, Crowne, and doing 6 shows a week for the last decade, he is a seasoned professional with a cheeky sense of humour, great stage presence, loves rocking the crowd, and is proud to be a valued member of Freefall band - in the awesome place that is Queenstown!
