About

As part of their 50th Anniversary Tour, Britain's best loved doo-wop band are coming to play the Castle and Falcon !!

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 whenever and 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 definitely the 'real deal', as eight of out 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 who get rave reviews wherever and whenever they perform, and this will be a night definitely not to be missed.

SUPPORT - THE OUTRIDERS

The Outriders (Tim, Tass and Chester) invoke the spirit of Elvis, Scotty and Bill – playing their favourite songs in their own inimitable style, regardless of original genre or date and with an adrenalin rush of energy. Reaching deep into the annals of pop, the Outriders bring three-minute wonders blinking wondrously back into the daylight. Covers but not copies.

The thunderous slap of bass. The razor sharp slices of lead guitar. The captivating swagger of the vocals. It can only be the fantastic, fun-packed and fabulous Outriders
