Influences:
"This man is one of the greats. His wonderfully lyrical version of "Love Will Tell Us Apart" with the great John Ellis on Piano redefined that song and will stay in my memory as one of the great live moments I will ever see. It was simply transformative. "Julie Rainbow" was sublime and "Looking for the Positive" was a tour de force." - Nick Holmes, The Legendary Manchester Busker
Biography:
Singer and songwriter who combines raw emotion with socio-politics, humour and charisma, Darren has starred alongside many great contemporaries to wide and outstanding acclaim. Raised on comedy and performance poetry, he turns the angst of a Thatcher-era teenager into a burst of musical theatre, using little more than voice and acoustic guitar.

Working as a special needs music teacher by day has given his songs, stories and performance a new edge and vitality.

A number of shows added to the gig list ... as always, I'd love to recommend all other artistes, this time with extra special mention to The Gutter Brothers (Sheffield, Sat Aug 9th) who are well worth seeing.

Also, the next run of gigs includes a few guest appearances by young Sanjay Poyzer on bass.

How has the internet affected your approach to music listening and music buying?
