TV's Over Presents...
Britain’s best loved doo-wop band are coming back to play their favourite venue, the iconic Brudenell Social Club. 2026 marks the 50th anniversary of the founding of Darts and to celebrate this remarkable golden milestone, we'd love you to join us for this very special night. This promises to be a performance filled with memories, fun, and unforgettable music—don’t miss out
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 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.
Eight 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)’’
