Darren Hayman
Darren Hayman is an English singer-songwriter and guitarist. He is best known as the writer, lead singer, and guitarist in Hefner. "He is one of our most restless and questing songwriters. He has recorded albums about the 17th century Essex witch trials, lidos, and the moon landings. So when he records a new collection of songs that ostensibly explore an old theme, you can be sure that he will approach it from a new angle." Thomas Blake, Folk Radio
In a special guest article, Darren Hayman discusses his artwork that runs alongside his songs, and how those two worlds relate to each other: “I am almost always singing about people…In my paintings, people don’t feature at all.” Painting now makes up more than half his income. “Drawing makes my heart rate slower, whilst music makes it go faster.”
