| Last Nights Recital is an
alternative/emo rock band based in Essex. The band has
been together for about a year. The band formed when
three of the members split from a recent band due to
members having conflicting ideas on what music to
pursue. The three members of this old band where Daniel
Darke, Paul Jackson and John Donaghy. They started
looking to form a new band and vary into a different
genre of music. They started to speak to guitarist
Martin Dukelow who had also just split from a band.
Daniel, Paul and John knew Martin from school and asked
him to join this new band being sure of what genre to go
ahead with. Martin joined the band. At present Last
Nights Recital have just recorded their first E.P (“It
All Started In The Back Row“) and have done a few local
gigs. The band is set to play at Hertfordshire, Essex
and Hartlepool in the months of April, June and July.
