Darts

Darts, the British doo-wop group, return to the Brudenell Social Club in Burley, Leeds, to mark fifty years since the band was formed. The night is a celebration of the group's history.

Darts are a nine-piece doo-wop group from Britain, and this Leeds date is part of a celebration of the band's fiftieth anniversary, marking the year it was founded in 2026. The band had a run of chart hits in the late 1970s and early 1980s, among them Daddy Cool/The Girl Can't Help It, Come Back My Love, Boy From New York City, It's Raining and Duke of Earl.

The group is described as energetic, with tight harmonies and a visual style that is central to its stage show. Its performances combine musicianship with intricate vocal work, and humour between songs is a large part of the act's appeal. The current line-up includes eight members from the band's golden years, among them Big Den Hegarty, Griff Fender, Rita Ray and Pikey Butler on vocals, and Horatio Hornblower on saxophone.

The Brudenell Social Club is a concert and performance venue in Burley, Leeds, and the night is aimed at fans of the group's music who want to revisit its best-known songs and its humour on stage.
