Darren, Just a quick line to say how much we enjoyed your set the other night at Dom's Do. Liked the Ibiza song and the Tears for Fears cover was great. I don't mind covers. We will come up top the Globe sometime to hear more. All the best. Tony. ( r Kid ). 10/10/2005 - Droylsden.

Hi Darren, I hope you're well. I've just found you're web page via a link from the Globe's. Listened to your music, watched the video clips, bloody excellent. Recently a fiend (Rick Farrow) and myself started a new venture called the Intimate Gig Company. We're aiming to put on a monthly evening concentrating on americana, alt counrty, acoustic, roots blues etc. Initially we will using a venue called the Old School Inn, in a place called Epworth (in between Scunthorpe and Doncaster). The room we are to use has capacity for 100 with a raised stage and good acoustics. We have our first night booked for mid October and plan to go fropm there. If you're interested in working a gig with us in the future get in touch and we'll take it from there. You can get me on the email address attached or call me on 07845981647. All the best and I'll look forward from hearing from you. Neil 30/08/2005 - South Yorks

Hey Darren, just found your website and thought I'd say hello. It's great to see you're doing well. I can't remember the last time I saw you but I wish I'd found your site before you came up to Scotland. I could've been your B&B. I'll try to get down to Glossop and see one of your Globe gigs. Take care my love, JP 29/08/2005 - Edinburgh

hello Darren, and good to see and hear you last night. I set out to send this note then saw that you were ahead of me in your 'diary'. Don't be hyper-critical of your performance which really was fine,I think it is that the audiences in North Wales are relatively reserved [ Chapel background happens] Anyway if I don't make it to Nantwich thought I'd let you know my web page which needs updating / renewing. Would you be interested in the job sometime in the winter when I have got my new images together? Catch up with you again soon. David 26/08/2005 - Mold

Hi Darren, First saw you supporting Wishbone at the Pacific - Terriffic support and was smitten by your style. Kept meaning to get to see you again (you know how it is!) Then eventualy under soggy brollies at the Newton festival, (and plagued by a broken string) so had to get to the Griffin to enjoy in comfort over a drink. Nice talking to you. Hope to see you again before too long. Best wishes, Stephen & Chris 3/08/2005 - Widnes

Oh and I hope `crap dog` Shannon behaved herself. Jim and Linda Mason 2/08/2005 - Stepps, Glasgow

Claire Atkinson

hey darren! saw you for the first time supporting the magic band in manchester yesterday and thought you were amazing..just ordered your cd, can't wait for it to arrive. just wondering, who did the original of the song 1970's lifestyle? regards, claire 26/06/2005

Jeremy Bull

hi Darren sorry - meant to reply before now to say thanks for the cds and how much i've been enjoying them ; a revelation ... Taken together with your election comments on the website, the 2 albums have been a great inspiration and comfort - my soundtrack, in fact - over the last few weeks of political drivel. Great songs sung with passion, and with the insight and tenderness won from hard experience. (maybe soft experience too!) And the playing is so fresh for studio work - love the violin especially. Favourite songs are, er, most of them! Sunday Morning Footballer, perhaps, and most of BW, esp. Julie Rainbow and the last track. Very cheering, and also humbling, to see how you've survived all you've been through, and with a song in your heart and compassion and anger for the state of things. Keep on keeping on. i hope to catch a gig soon, though will be moving back down to Worcestershire in the summer. You'll have to start playing south of the great divide! When i'm solvent again, will get copies of your stuff to send to my ex, who left Ashton last year to live in north Spain (with her Spanish partner, who'd served his time in Ashton - nearly 5 years at the lighting factory, i forget the name), and who was also a fan of your brief and reluctant early(?) performances at The Witchwood. finally, here's a cut andpaste of Martin Stephenson's response when i let him know i'd caught up with you in Sheff. You might be pleased by at least part of it! (a bugget? is that geordie?) "Darren is a lovely man and has done so so much for music He was a canny soccer player too I think he was a dirty bugget though on the field, a bit of a Norman Hunter in his day!" I caught his Leeds gig the other week - he just gets better and better (daintees.com for info) Rory Mcleod is in town tonight - another of the good guys Thanks again for the brilliant music - look forward to hearing more in future take care Jez 26/06/2005 - Sheffield

Nice to see you're busy, Darren, and I like the website. An avid visitor to the Witchwood a few years ago, and still so today from time to time. Recently I joined as bass/guitar/vocalist in top UK Emerson, Lake and Palmer tribute band, Noddys Puncture. We were going to launch with our new line-up at the Fisherman's Inn at Hollingworth Lake, Littleborough, but the guy's gone and sold the place for re-development. Now we are launching at the Six Bells, Chiddingly in Sussex (Mr Emerson's local) on 27 & 28 August. All BOF progrockers very welcome! Any promotors want to get in touch? Best of wishes. 15/06/2005 - Ashton under Lyne
