Darrell
Darrell has a unique style, rich in unusual techniques rarely seen on the acoustic guitar. He has seized every opportunity to jam or have mentoring sessions with many amazing guitarists, including Jazz legend Martin Taylor and guitar genius and author Richard Chapman.
By 2006, he was working as a session guitarist and bassist with a few different acts including ‘Ghosts’ (best known for the chart topping single ‘Stay The Night’) and working behind the scenes for legendary producer Andy Gill and his band ‘Gang of four’.
In 2008 Darrell began to experiment using the guitar as a percussive instrument, achieving ‘drum-like’ sounds to accompany the more conventional pitched notes. This technique has since become one of the central elements of his playing style.
Darrell has performed as a support act for many well known acts ranging from Carl Palmer of Emmerson Lake and Palmer to Toploader.
