28th Dec 04 The Poyzer / Tomlinson / Ladyko families have reason to celebrate this Christmas, as Melissa, wife of my brother Stuart, gives birth to a healthy 6lb baby boy. We therefore welcome Noah Ladyko-Tomlinson into our hearts and lives with all the joy in our world. In addition, congratulations to violinist Rachel Bell, now resident in Brighton, who has given birth to her first child, a healthy 10lb baby boy who put her through 30 hours of labour!
dp returns to the scene of that legendary 'Global' gig to celebrate the release of the DVD by the same name. And he'll be joined by guest musicians, making this into something very special indeed ... There's plenty of free food from 8pm, and then it's straight into the live music with special guest, Yorkshire's finest Shaun T Hunter, who has just released one of the finest albums called 'Flying Not Falling'.

A
date for the gig guide: 'She's Not There' was one of those classic songs that, if you heard it during the halcyon days of a rock'n'roll youth, it would surely have been one of your theme songs. As so it is that Colin Blunstone and Rod Argent are back in town, as bright and breezy as ever, for what promises to be one of the finer live music events of the early New Year. A Poyzer support set at these kind of gigs is usually a 'greatest hits' package, all fireworked up into 35-40 minutes of full-on passion and adrenalin. Well worth the ticket price ...
I'm currently in the process of making the website fully accessible for people with visual impairments.

18th Oct 04 - BIG Thank You!! A BIG THANK YOU to all those who treated me so well during the recent shows with WISHBONE ASH. Ash themselves were truly wonderful, and the staff and gig-goers at The Citadel in St Helens, and The Platform in Morecambe, left me feeling humbled by their generosity and affection. I'm Still buzzin'! dp x 8th Oct 04 - Global DVD Update
For those who are uninitiated in the art of enjoying this magical recording of poyzer-esque acoustica, here's what one reviewer had to say: "An amazing songwriter fighting for the cause against the karaoke, the tribute acts, the DJs, the bile of Saturday night 'fun' acts. He is the anti-pop, the working class hero, an amazing talent. Nothing more can be said. Buy this album and see the light."
30th Aug 04 - Hello and thank you ...
Good news is I've started writing with a passion for the new album, provisionally titled 'Bloody Love Songs'. Gigs continue, including some shows with 'THOM THE WORLD POET' in October and of course a forthcoming show with WISHBONE ASH in Morecambe ... Coming soon: Edinburgh pics, possibly Uppermill pics also, a splendid review from the recent Leeds gig at The Grove, video footage from the forthcoming 'Global' DVD and the recent Arts For Life Edinburgh Festival. dp x 18th Aug 04 - Edinburgh Festival Live Concert Webcast

Well,
those of you who've raved about the live album 'GLOBAL' will
be pleased to know we're in the final stages of editing the
live footage for the GLOBAL DVD!!, and it won't
be too long before it's added to the merchandise table.
A
little note to say a big 'hello and thank you'
to everyone who has made recent festival gigs in Edinburgh,
Uppermill and Nantwich such wonderful occasions. It's been a
great run, and a pleasure to come away on such a high.
The
BBC's Martin Coldrick reviews a recent dp live
performance in Sowerby Bridge: "It was just him and
his guitar, but in one song Darren still managed to transport
me from a little pub in Sowerby Bridge on a warm summer's evening
with pint-in-hand to the other side of the world ... it was
often like being a kid again, sitting at the knees of a storyteller
as another tale was deftly told"
