THE DARTFORD RAMBLERS
Jim O'Driscoll - Malcolm Rees - Colin Searle - Alan Colls THE DARTFORD RAMBLERS are a four piece acoustic band, formed twelve years ago who have established their own style and interpretation of the songs and roots music of North America. Influences range from The Carter Family, Woodie Guthrie, Charlie Poole to later performers like Tom Paxton, Nancy Griffiths and Johnny Cash. Their line up features Alan Colls (guitar), Colin Searle (guitar), excellent exponents in the art of flat picking and fingerstyle who are best known in the area as the organisers and together with Malcolm and Jim, residents of the very successful Dartford Folk Club which runs every Tuesday in Essex Road. Malcolm Rees (autoharp), is a long time "old timey music devotee" and fine solo performer. Jim O'Driscoll (a star name in the UK's harmonica circles performing solo or with the group Four in Accord) is on the harmonica. All lead singers (except Jim) perform their own favourite songs embellished with the rest of the groups' fine harmonies. They have all played solo, duo or as a band for many years encompassing Folk Clubs, Bluegrass events, Music shows, private functions and charities (e.g. Local Hospices) etc., and have attracted a loyal following.
