I popped into a book shop on the High Street on saturday, and there's a new book out called"The Wonder of Brian Cox: The Unauthorised Biography of the Man Who Brought Science to the Nation" (phew!)

Anyway, there's a nicely detailed chapter on Dare, from Darren forming the band, up to the break-up after "Blood From A Stone". The book states that Darren considered the band to really be himself, Vinny and Brian (and there were a few lineup changes in drums/ bass), and I liked the line that Brian, as a teenager, used to drive around Oldham with the "Top Gun" soundtrack blaring out the car. Didn't we all?
