Darren's solo appearances have also found a great response and over the years he has appeared alongside a range of legendary artistes from poets ADRIAN MITCHELL and HENRY NORMAL to comedians STEVE COOGAN and CAROLINE AHEARNE, and music names such as ROY and HARPER to CHINA CRISIS. He also plays regularly around NWUK as part of the Acoustica Essential Songwriters Collective. Andy was frontman with 'THE CANDIDATES' who were very popular in Manchester.
