Darren Hanlon

Overview

Darren Hanlon has been around awhile now. I remember seeing him play at the Paddington Workers Club (which isn’t there anymore) when I was twenty (which I'm not any more), and he was top notch then.

I have changed significantly since I saw Darren play all those years ago, and it seems he has too. He is no longer playing small rooms at smaller bowls clubs – he's now rocking it at the Brisbane Powerhouse. On top of this, he has supported world renowned acts, including the glorious Bright Eyes, and toured the world, jet-setting as far as Latvia, Estonia and Broken Hill!

Darren is a gifted storyteller, and wins over large and small audiences alike with his particular brand of gentle folk. He has released in excess of ten albums (including EPs), and this stripped back Christmas tour will see him playing a mix of songs from all of them.

For this performance is he sans band, adding a little more intimacy to the gig as he serenades audiences solo. This will be the perfect little Christmas treat, relaxing with the lovely Darren, listening to his beautiful and funny stories, and sharing a little Christmas cheer. Enjoy!
