I actually own the CD of 'Chamber of One' by Dearly Beheaded, I bought second hand in 1999...

Back when I worshipped the Pantera / Machine Head groove thrash style.

I never noticed Simon Dawson was on it!!

Dearly Beheaded is beyond amazing, Dirty Deeds with Newton and Faulkner is a cult band. I could do without The Outfield, but that Back to the Start album he did with Air Race is really great!

Dawson and Tony Newton played together on the 1994 demo, I've been trying to find it online but no luck so far. Faulkner played on their last album Blown from 2002.

Yeah, I checked a few seconds of Blown before you wrote that - You hear it's him right away. My favorite to rise to fame of the past 15 years.
 
Weren't Faulkner and Dawson in Lauren Harris's backing band in 2008?

I thought they had Newton on bass too, but I'm not sure.

Faulkner was in her band, not so sure about Newton and Dawson. I can't find any sources on that!
