we also chat about his recent solo album that features contributions from some of the finest musicians on the planet including Don Airey, Kee Marcello, Adam Wakeman, Laurence Cottle, Marco Minnemann and Andy Newmark to name but a few!
We had to talk about Darby's recent gig with Canadian mega star singer/guitarist Devin Townsend, headling the Bloodstock Festival with very little rehearsal time! Since the interview Darby has gone on to recorded the drum parts for Devin's new album, so i think we can safely assume that he was impressed with Darby's incredible talent!
