All of the members of D.L.M.P come from different areas of the country and many different backgrounds and different musical disciplines but all of us have one thing in common. Our unwavering passion for live music. Now lets meet the team.
Neal Durose is founder of the Dangerose Live Music Platform. He grew up in Derby in the East Midlands and began playing music from the age of ten. He has played many gigs over the years and has even spent time in the Mediterranean islands of Malta. Where he fast became a headline act for several of the hotels, bars and restaurants on the islands. After returning back to the U.K, it was clear that he had bigger dreams and became a full time working musician. During the pandemic of 2020 & 2021, he decided that he wanted to try his hand at recording and after a steep learning curve, he wrote , produced and released his debut album Only one. The second album Reasons, was released in January 2024. he is also the main vocalist in all of our acts.
Peter Kiely is a spectacular Musician with year of experience. He plays Mandolin, Lead Guitar & Harmonica and has also been known to do backing vocals from time to time
Grant Ward has been part of our collective for some time now and started out as a spectator at one of our band rehearsals. He showed that he had a passion for music and became a friend, roadie and sound guy. Hailing from London, He has been living in and around Kings Lynn for twenty plus years. He eventually began playing bass for Dangerose Restrung. Later, When the rock band was rebranded, He took on the role of bass player for that too.
His commitment, musical ability and performances both on and off the stage are second to none. He has a big heart and that shows when he is with the ones he holds dear.
Chris Mackay is the newest member of our family. he has only been with us a short time and came to us in our hour of need following the departure of our original Drummer. It became very clear to us that Chris has a special quality when it comes to playing in bands. His timing is spot on and his accents that he does are nothing short of genius. Hailing from London, he began having drumming lessons at an early age and joined his first band at the age of 16. He has been fortunate enough to have travelled around the country with an "Oi" punk band playing all kinds of gigs from pubs to festivals with varying crowd sizes.
He always knew that he wanted to be play the drums, and has has been trying very hard to find a band that would be the right fit for him. He has very quickly become a great addition to the acts.
Steve Clear Plays the Harp for Dangerose Restrung. He has been a friend of ours for many years. He began his musical career over thirty years ago. Hailing from Hertford, he is better known for his exploits with his other band known as Schrodinger's Strings and his life long obsession with cheese.
His talent is almost legendary and something to behold as he can play just about any song that he puts his mind to. We got together by accident when his main vocalist was unwell one night and unable to perform. Neal stepped in on vocal and guitar and from the moment on, Dangerose Restrung was born.
