“This is definitely the real deal as all nine band members featured in the DARTS line-up during their ‘golden’ years:
Big Den Hegarty (Vocals), Griff Fender (Vocals), Rita Ray (Vocals), Pikey Butler(Vocals), Horatio Hornblower (Saxophone),
Mark Pearson (Guitar), Nosmo King (Drums), Thump Thomson (Bass guitar) and Jimmy ‘The Nit’ Compton (Keyboards)

DARTS are a fantastic live band and this will be a night definitely not to be missed.

Superbly supported by the North East’s own legendary TUBESNAKE and a bit of Ska with MAD MANNERS.” … MJ Promotions
