Following the critically acclaimed release of Surrounded By Mountains in April 2009, comes the third album of beautifully crafted pop songs, Miss The Last Wave, from The Pogues’ bass player Darryl Hunt under the moniker, Bish. On Miss The Last Wave Darryl is again ably assisted by Knut Knutson who hails from the British sector in West Berlin and is an artist in his own right, and Bernd Hartwich & Andreas Höhne from the Munich indie pop combo der Englische Garten on bass & drums respectively. Darryl sings and plays guitar whilst Knut performs on guitar and Hammond organ. Darryl’s old friend Debsey (Dolly Mixture) helps out on vocals too. The album was recorded by Brian O’Shaughnessy at Bark Studios, London, E17 and is being released on LFT Records.
Darryl Hunt has a long association with The Pogues, occasionally playing bass for the band before joining them permanently in September 1986. Darryl started out playing bass with the Nottingham-based Plummet Airlines who formed whilst at art college before going on to sign to Stiff Records with whom they released the double-A side single, ‘Silver Shirt’/’This Is The World’. He then sang and played in The Favourites whose 1979 version of Abba’s SOS was Annie Nightingale’s Single of the Week at the time. A second single Anjelica was released in 1980. He was also a member of Pride Of The Cross with Cait O’Riordan and Dave Scott, releasing the single Tommy’s Blue Valentine on Big Beat in 1985. As well as writing songs for Bish, Darryl also writes material for The Pogues and his song Love You Till The End, written for the group’s last album is sung by Hilary Swank in the film P.S. I Love You in which she co-starred in 2007. Darryl remains busy with The Pogues who continue to tour at home and abroad. Bish will tour in support of Miss The Last Wave later this year and dates will be announced shortly.
