Information About

Darts (band)





HISTORY

Founded in 1976, the band is still in the Top 250-selling list according to the Guinness Book Of British Hit Singles .
Despite this, and the fact that they remain British 's best-known doo-wop vocal group, they receive almost no coverage compared to other pop bands of the period such as Showaddywaddy . The London based outfit notched up three consecutive Number 2 hits in the UK Singles Chart in 1978 .

The band was partly formed by members of Rocky Sharpe And The Razors and the John Dummer Blues Band , some of whom went on to form Rocky Sharpe And The Replays .
