DARREN POYZER:
WIGAN vs. CELTIC CRUSADERS 19/04/2009 Making his (probably long overdue) debut on the Wigan Warriors Showcase Stage this Sunday is the one and only Darren Poyzer.
If you are a musician...there is a good chance you have shared the same bill as Darren and if you go to gigs (almost anywhere) there is a good chance you will have fallen in love with his blend of cleverly crafted songwriting, storytelling and performances.
"Singer and songwriter who combines raw emotion with socio-politics, humour and charsima, Darren has starred alongside many great contemporaries to wide and outstanding acclaim. Raised on comedy and performance poetry, he turns the angst of a Thatcher-era teenager into a burst of musical theatre, using little more than voice and acoustic guitar."
He presently performs live as a solo singer songwriter, though occasionally in duet or trio, with Kevin Farrell (guitar / e-bow) and Fluff (fiddle / cello).
He has independently released three cd's and one live concert dvd. and have been fortunate / dedicated enough to build a very credible cv and develop an accessible, entertaining and varied live performance.
You can have a listen to some of his songs...find out more about him and check out his available music here
