Dan

Dan was an 80's English indie punk band from Darlington, which was founded by ‘Jools’ a.k.a. Julie ‘Flipper’ Dalkin (vocals), ‘Wal’ a.k.a. Ian ‘Hendrix’ Wallis (guitar/vocals), Jim ‘G-Clamp’ Clarke (drums) and Ian (bass). Founder and vocalist ‘Dallas’ Andrew Bayles left pretty quickly (he was on the debut EP from 1986 called Can You Dig It?). Their first gig was in October 1983. ‘Georgie’ a.k.a. Georgina ‘Mooncat’ Ashwell also sang on the band’s ’85 tape and the LP Where Have All The Children Gone? in 1987. By the end of the 80's the band split with some members joining Sofa Head.
