Darryl Hunt (musician)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Darryl Hunt (born May 4, 1950) is a British musician, most famous as the bassist of The Pogues from 1986 until their breakup ten years later. He currently fronts the band BISH and has performed with The Pogues since their reunion in 2001.
Hunt was born in Hampshire, England and attended the Nottingham School of Art. After graduating he formed several bands, most notably the part time lounge group Pride of the Cross with future Pogues bassist Cait O'Riordan. Some time after O'Riordan left to join the Pogues Hunt took a job with them performing sound and management duties. He filled in as bassist for O'Riordan on several dates during the band's 1986 tour, and replaced her permanently when she left later that year to join her husband Elvis Costello's King of America tour. He appeared on all their subsequent albums and wrote several of their songs, including "Love You Till The End" from Pogue Mahone. Since the band's breakup in 1996 he has worked as a disc jockey in Europe and played with several other projects, including a stint with fellow ex-Pogue Spider Stacy's band The Vendettas.
