| | Steve Darrington is a festival organiser and musician in Swanage, Dorset, United Kingdom. Steve playing piano, vocals and harmonica, was the house pianist and harmonica player at the legendary Nags Head, High Wycombe during the ‘60’s and 70’s when it was blessed by the auspices of promoter Ron Watts. Visiting blues acts of the day included Howling Wolf, Otis Spann, Lightning Hopkins, Freddie King, Albert King, Lightning Slim and Whispering Smith, Juke Boy Bonner, Arthur ‘Big Boy’ Crudup and scores more. Fleetwood Mac, Status Quo and most famous bands appeared there, and it wasn't unusual for relative unknowns like Paul Simon to do the interval spot.
Over the years, Steve has worked with Lonnie Donegan, Marty Wilde, Everly Brothers, Arthur Big Boy Crudup, Billy Boy Arnold, Gene Connors "The Mighty Flea", Mickey Baker, and many more. He has appeared on over 50 albums. |
