A Tribute To Mick Hucknall by Darren Alboni

Darren started performing his tribute to Mick Hucknall in 1991 after appearing on, and winning, his heat in Granada Television's "Stars In Their Eyes". Darrens vocal tribute was hailed as "exceptional" and is often mistaken for the real thing.

For the following two years he toured with his Simply Red tribute band “Wonderland” and performed at every working mans club in the North East of England.
That lead on to travelling the country performing at theme pubs, holiday camps and the cabaret circuit.

Performing live at many venues across the UK and abroad over the years has given him great experience working with every type of audience.
Darren has performed at the Café Royale - London for the Arsenal Football Club at their Championship presentation, and also at The Commodore - Nottingham for Nottingham Forest's Premier League Promotion Celebration.

Darren is quoted to be the NO.1 Mick Hucknall impersonator by the Simply Red Fan Club.
