Between 2005 and 2007 Darren released four EPs detaling his British Holidays. Darren would take ukuleles, minidisks and casio keyboards to caravan parks, Butlins and B and Bs. The songs are sweet and tender, lo-fi vignettes about lost youth, faded photographs and half-understood Britishness.
This is quite a package, as well as featuring all of the EP songs and all the original artwork in a 16 page booklet, Darren has recorded 3 holiday cover versions; Holiday Road (originally by Lyndsey Buckingham from the film National Lampoons Vacation), Margate (originally by Chas and Dave) and V.A.C.A.T.I.O.N. (originally by Connie Francis)
Also included is a DVD featuring 5 videos and an interview with Darren about the project shot on the coast in Kent.
This CD/DVD will be available in shops via Cargo and also from our own
shop and
