What do you set out to do in your act? Entertain people.

I was extremely disappointed to see only a throwaway couple of lines in They Also Served for Darts’ Bob Fish [MOJO 336]. The Darts hit TV screens on Top Of The Pops in ’77/78 and were in the Guinness Book Of Records for three consecutive Number 2s without making it to Number 1 – not a great way to be remembered, but nevertheless remembered fondly they are. With a touring schedule that led Danny Baker to say they were more rock’n’roll than the Sex Pistols in terms of what they got up to, they paved the way for a doo wop and rock’n’roll revival (Showaddywaddy, a few years before, were more glam teds). They gained a loyal following who still meet up and go to their gigs, with more planned in 2022
