DARLINGTON FOLK ACOUSTIC CLUB

DEN MILLER

7.30pm £9

Rolling Mills Club, Longfield Road DL3 0HX ♿

Strong melodies, catchy sing-along choruses and intelligent lyrics, are the trademark of songs composed and performed by singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, Den Miller. Den is an engaging and entertaining live performer, delivering his music and his message with clarity, energy and a good deal of humour.

During his performances you can expect songs “from wildly comic to deeply poignant”, backed by guitar, keyboard, harmonica, autoharp and, often, the audience. “An experience not to be missed.”

"Den can deliver a hefty punch with a killer turn of phrase" - FATEA magazine.
