The Darlingtons began when 'Blue Roots' stopped playing together, and it seemed obvious to the remaining members (Dan, Kiwi and Biz) to form a new band with their close friend Chris Homes on drums. The band are all aged 16 & 17 and are attending Richard Huish College. They decided to begin making music in the summer of 2008. After being together for roughly a month, The Darlingtons got their first gig at SCAT, which was set up by "live'n'up". More gigs soon followed, such as the Newt Beer Fest, some private parties, and numerous other gigs at such venues as the Brewhouse, Tacchi Morris Arts Centre, Wellsprings and the Crazy Apple. We now gig as much as possible and hope to do so for as long as possible.
