Darts

As one of the UK’s most distinctive late ‘70s pop acts, Darts, who had a string of chart hits in the late ‘70s and early ‘80s including ‘Daddy Cool,The Girl Can’t Help It’, ‘Come Back My Love’, ‘Boy From New York City’, ‘It’s Raining’ and ‘Duke of Earl’, are a nine strong, energetic doo wop group whose brand of visual excitement and tight harmonies earn them rave reviews wherever they play.

Their unique style, which combines first rate musicianship and intricate vocal acrobatics, creates a larger than life stage show where the humour they inject into their live performance plays a large part in their appeal. Whilst they appear not to take themselves too seriously, it is obvious to everyone who sees them that they are all extremely capable and talented musicians.

This is not a tribute act with just one or two original members. this is the real band and they are as wild as ever………eight of the nine current band members featured in Darts’ line up during their ‘golden’ years ………………. Big Den Hegarty (Vocals), Griff Fender (Vocals), Rita Ray (Vocals), Pikey Butler (Vocals), Horatio Hornblower (Saxophone), Mark ‘Skid’ Pearson (Guitar), Nosmo King (Drums), Thump Thomson (Bass guitar) and Jimmy ‘The Nit’ Compton (Keyboards)

Darts are a fantastic live band and each member is grounded in the philosophy of ‘have a good time ALL the time’ Loud, energetic and fun, this will be a night definitely not to be missed.
