Info:
In 1962, DARREN WHARTON, keyboard player and the creative mastermind behind DARE, was born in Manchester, England. At the age of only 15 he founded his first band together with SIMON WRIGHT, who would later become the drummer of AC/DC.
In 1980 Darren joined THIN LIZZY and recorded the famous “Chinatown” album with PHILLIP LYNOTT, SCOTT GORHAM, SNOWY WHITE and BRIAN DOWNEY. THIN LIZZY toured through Europe, America, Japan, Australia and New Zealand. “Renegade” was the second THIN LIZZY-album Darren contributed to. The fourth one – a live album – was recorded at the Hammersmith Odeon in London. GARY MOORE, BRIAN ROBERTSON, SNOWY WHITE, ERIC BELL as well as Phil, Scott and Darren were part of the line-up. In 1984 the legendary group unfortunately disbanded.
Darren returned to Manchester where he discovered a young guitarist called VINNY BURNS. Bass player SHELLY, drummer JIM ROSS and keyboarder player BRIAN COX finally completed the first DARE line-up, which was signed by A&M RECORDS.
In 1988 the band recorded its debut album at JONI MITCHEL's studio in Beverly Hills. DARE also supported EUROPE, JIMMY PAGE and GARY MOORE among others on tour.
The second album “Blood from Stone” was produced by KEITH OLSEN. Two new members, NIGEL CLUTTERBUCK (Bass) and GREG MORGAN (Drums) changed the line-up.
After this, DARREN helped former Lizzy-companion SCOTT GORHAM with his solo-project “21 GUNS” before returning to North Wales in order to build his own recording studio.
Back in Wales again, DARREN WHARTON composed new material for the album “Calm before the storm” together with his friend RICHARD DEWS. DARREN WHARTON on the keyboards, the young and exceedingly talented guitarist ANDREW MOORE, bass player MARTIN WILDING and drummer JULIEN GARDNER represented the new line-up of DARE.
1997 saw the world-wide release of “Calm Before The Storm“, followed by the album “Belief” in 2001 and the current release “Beneath The Shining Water“ (2004). Sensitive songs and ballads full of feelings are like a mirror to the soul and a door to the heart of this unique songwriter.
Again and again, numerous fans from all over the world kept asking for live recordings of DARE performances. On the occasion of the Munich based open air music festival 'DEEP IMPACT 2004', the label MTM MUSIC decided to record a live DVD as well as a live CD for the first time ever.
In addition to the actual concert, the DVD contains a previously unreleased video clip to the song “Deliverance“ as well as an interview and numerous information from the personal environment of Darren Wharton. The DVD's and CD's booklet includes liner notes written by Birgitt Schwanke, who is the publisher of one of Germany's leading melodic rock magazines.
