!daft! are GODS..worship them!

!daft! are AWESOME - I don't say that merely 'cos I think of Graeme as a mate...if I walked into a pub where they were performing and I saw !daft!, I'd think the same...they are absolutely utterly completely and totally FAB

Musically the band are excellent - far better than the picture mere words can paint. Real quality musicians.

Graeme himself is amazing...the boy can sing...not just sing a bit, I mean he can sing...really SING. He's got an impressive vocal range and more than that he is everything a frontman should be - he has charisma, energy, style, wit, humour and an instinctive understanding of his audience...he takes the band a stage further from being just a group of quality musicians to a group of quality musicians who comprise a band with the "wow factor"

Their repetoire has grown more diverse over the years - everything from Brian Adams to Oasis stopping off at The Fratelli's, The Automatic, Green Day, Mika, The Manic Street Preachers, The Strokes, Guns'n'Roses, Led Zeppelin, Lynryrd Skynryd, The Kaiser Chiefs, The Undertones, Blur, Queen, Michael Jackson and The Monkees on the way (and if I'm really lucky they even do Metallica )

I went to the Rising Sun gig on Saturday and had a really good time. I'm a miserable, overweight, 40 something dyed-in-the-wool metalheaded, sad git with a bad back, but !daft! managed to get me on my feet, jumping up and down and singing (I know, it's a terrifying thought) along with loads of other people both young and old, of all creeds and colours...we were all having that rare thing - A genuinely good time.

!daft! really know how to give their audience that "feel good" factor...I was watching people leaving after the gig and without exception everyone had bloody big smiles on their faces.

So, "covers band" they may be...but they're so much more too...
FANNYTASTIC!!!!

ROCKIN'!!!

What can you say about Daft! other than QUALITY!!! They have an amazing stage presence, get the crowd fully involved and ROCK ON!!!
They have a great mix of covers that guarantee you will have no voice left by the end of the night!!
Particular favorites include their Guns n Roses covers and 'All these things I've done' by the Killers!!

If you want a wicked night, go see this lot!!!

Amazing, keep it up Guys!!!

Simply Superb

A guaranteed great gig, with lots of laughs and stage presence.
I'm sixty, and don't know many of the songs they perform, but......
by John at 7:26am on January 29th, 2008
.....this band is something else!

I played a bit in the 60's and 70's, fancied myself and the bands I played in then...still do, I 'spose, but !daft! are an outstanding covers band. I've booked them twice and both times now they have simply 'blown the audience away"!

Believe their "biography" above because every word is true, but don't just read these reviews, go to a gig, and if you can't get to one, be selfish and book them to play for you, as I have done. You'll not be disappointed.

These guys are awesome. Since I've been going to there gigs last year they've let me sing with them!! Not many cover bands have the confidence to do that! Graeme is an amazing singer with a huge range (you need it to do that queen medley). Gary and Phil are spot on with the guitars but only when Gary is playing his SG!! Nick is really strong on bass and as for Darren, I saw them the other week and Darren played even though he had a sliped disc in his back. Now thats dedication. Altogether this band play some brilliant and not obvious cover songs which makes them different to everyone else!! Keep up the great work.
bloody fantastic!
by Laura at 7:31am on January 27th, 2008

is there any possibility that you publish a list of when and where you are doing a gig, as being in Essex I would have to make arrangements in advance to get over to your neck of the woods! but really so want to come to one :-)
