Hey Darren, after a brief (3 years!) flit about we're moving back to Middlewich next week. When are you next gigging round there? I fancy one of your gigs then I'll get you drunk afterwards :) 3/06/2010 - Inbetween dp says:   Hi Chris, just played Winsford last week, but it was good so will be back ... there's plenty going on in Winsford these days, I think they still have a jam on Mondays at DeBees - you could take your new guitar!! - and I occasionally come to play the Sunday afternoon beverage marathon ... yeah, Cheshire, canals etc ... it's well nice, enjoy :-)

Stuart Dalziel

Tweedies was good last night, Denise brought a new dimension to your songs. You and your music always make me smile, a big thanks always for that xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 21/02/2010 - Cumbria dp says:   thanks Jacquie, lovely to see you both again, and looking forward to a special occasion in the Summer!

Shaun

Came to see you play at the New Inn in clitheroe a few months ago. Thought you were excelent. Coming to see you play the Poynton on Saturday , looking forward to it. Keep up the good work and come back to the New Inn again soon! 27/08/2009 - Crawshawbooth dp says:   Hi Shaun, thanks for the kind comments ... that Clitheroe gig was a bit special for many reasons, probably as much as anything, I really needed something to get out of a domestic stress space! Poynton will be different, it's outdoors and it's part of a bigger event, a day out for families but glad to say, we're next to the beer tent anyway :-) cheers, dp

Dave and June

It has been almost 2 months since the Clitheroe session so we had to drive up to Tweedies for a top up, another good do in a different atmosphere but try not to leave it so long before returning to Clitheroe (I like a pint or two with your music)Your mate can give that guitar some welly. Best wishes Dave and June 8/07/2009 - Clitheroe dp says:   Was lovely to see ya both, thanks for making the journey! yeah, it's a different gig is Tweedies, very dependent on who's in for the weekend, and sometimes the locals are elsewhere! The welly boy is Roydan Styles, he writes his own gig also and is worth googling if you get the chance. cheers, do :-)

HI Darren I thought your gig on Saturday at the New Inn in Clitheroe was brilliant. You and the other 2 musicians, Roydan and Fluff created a wonderful atmosphere and totally made the festival a great success. Thank you so much, and it was lovely that you spoke to all the audience after, you are a guy that is "real" and genuinely interested in your fans. Thanks again!! I loved the CD too! 19/05/2009 - Clitheroe dp says:   Hi Clare, thanks, it was lovely all round, a special one for sure :-) and thank you for sticking around for a while, it's always lovely to make new friends after a show, nice one, dp x

Jacquie

You were fantastic last nite, really enjoyed it.privilge to be there, the atmosphere was amazing.Roydan guitar solo was very memorable!!! Fluff is also very talented but is such a different way to Roydan, lol. Looking forward to seeing you again soon and cant wait for the new album.love what Im already hearing xxxC 17/05/2009 - Cumbria dp says:   Thanks Jacquie :-) ... would you believe those two only met for the first time last night, just before the gig! Yes indeed, the new songs are starting to fit into the set now, 2 hours plus encores last night - whatever happened to the days of getting nervous before doing 3 songs on an open mic!? Thanks for being there, c ya soon, dp x

alan & cathy

Weren't sure if we could make it to Clitheroe last night. Really glad we did. What an awesome gig. Back to your best, every word to every song was written across your face. Fluff's fiddle playing was immense. Cheers fella. 17/05/2009 - Lancs dp says:   There were a few people like yourselves who traveled out to see us last night, so I was well up for putting together a show. Fluff and Roydan had never met before! The atmosphere in that room was something indeed ... thanks as always to you both, for being with us and sharing a little magic, cheers dp :-)

Bill Switzer

Clitheroe Festival, 2009, New inn I was there, you and your support musicians were superb. Thanks for a fantastic night. Keep delivering the message. 17/05/2009 dp says:   Cheers Bill, humbly agree that last night was very very special, thank you for sharing the magic, all the very best always, dp :-)

elliott

i saw you while waiting for john cooper clarke to show up because he was late, to be honest you were alot better, me and my cousin are going to see you agen i cant wait, you are a brilliant guitarist comperd to all the crappy groups today, cant wait to see you agen. 9/04/2009 - mancester dp says:   aw shucks Elliott, am blushing, thank you :-) if you like your manic acoustic guitar players, there's a couple of really tasty players who inspire me: Nick Harper (who also has the best songs), and Jon Gomm, who creates a magic rhythmic buzz with the acoustic unlike any other. Richard Thompson, for something a little more folky, is also well worth a listen. nice one, cheers, dp :-)

Flap Cap Cocker

Hi Darren, really enjoyed the show at De-bees last night, you remind me of Jack Black, thats a compliment by the way. thanks for the biscuits and after eights. 28/03/2009 - just outside of Lancashire dp says:   Hey up chap, indeed the Jack Black comparison has been made before, except I don't quite have his success just yet :-) ... glad you enjoyed a top night in Winsford, I most surely did and appreciate your compliment, cheers, dp :-)

Will

Great show in Winsford last night cocker. Pitty you did not bring more after 8s :) 28/03/2009 - Winsford dp says:   Hi Will, you know I almost brought easter eggs! thanks for being there in Winsford fella, it was a top night all round, glad you enjoyed the show. cheers, dp :-)

Redlands Rodge

Hi Darren, Thoroughly enjoyed your set at Huddersfield Saturday night. I'm gonna keep an eye on ya cos I'd like to catch you again and bring some friends along. Your playing, your voice was amazing. Keep on keeping on! 15/03/2009 - Bradford dp says:   thanks very much for your kind comments about the Huddersfield gig, which I thoroughly enjoyed ... what a crackin' theatre that is! nice one, dp :-)

spencer robertshaw

I saw you on with John Cooper Clarke at Lawrence Batley Theatre. Your rendition of Love Will Tear Us Apart was absolutely amazing (did not know what to do with myself when you started), It grabbed me right by the heart and balls art the same time, it was beautiful and that is a word I spare for my little girl alone. if that was out on a cd maybe just a single I cant see with a bit of push why that couldn't hit well into the charts. I am off to try and find it on your site now ,i hope the recoding is a good quality or sounds as good as last night - I am not peeing in your pocket - it was emotional and a shock. 15/03/2009 - leeds - hosforth dp says:   thank you Spencer, I've placed a blog entry about recordings of LWTUA, previous and forthcoming, dp :-)

Giz

Hi Darren saw you opening for John Cooper Clarke last night in Runcorn. Your set was brilliant, really deep & powerful performance. i live in Salford & work in Droylsden so felt an efinity with you & JCC, nice one 14/03/2009 - Salford dp says:   thank you very much Giz, really enjoyed the night and I appreciate your very kind comments, dp :-)

Ken Macdonald

Your slot supporting JCC in Edinburgh on Saturday was an unexpected delight - great stuff. Like many others I was bowled over by your interpretation of Love Will Tear Us Apart - but that shouldn't overshadow some triffic original material like Julie Rainbow. Hope you went down just as well in Glasgow. 2/03/2009 - Glasgow dp says:   Hi Ken, yes indeed, Glasgow was an unexpected delight also, both shows were as lovely as home gigs, and I really do appreciate your kind comments and the welcomes of the last few days. All the very best of things and thank you, Darren :-)
