Must have been around There he also took on the responsibilities of General Manager.

In , Darren moved on to Upon returning to the UK, Darren came to join Planet Rock in October , where he now presents an afternoon show every weekday. He began as On-Air talent presenting 'double-shots' and was then promoted to weekday afternoons following the departure of DJ Mark Jeeves. Married to former ballerina, Elizabeth Redick.

Carter and me are all fans of the genre. We live in the same world as the fans. We react the same way to events that affect the rock world. The DJs just have the opportunity to reflect that zeitgeist publicly. There have been people put on air who have had no idea what they were talking about and the listeners smell that! And my Ged, they let you know when you get something wrong. Only thing you can do at that point is admit you got it wrong. How important are stations like Planet Rock to the future of rock music?

I think there will always be a place for stations like Planet Rock. It goes back to the tribal thing. People like radio because it keeps them company more than say, an iPod. Rockers have always been sort of an alienated bunch and Planet Rock et al allows, in some small way, a gathering place; a community.

We get to know them, if only in a most cursory way. Dysfunctional to be sure! So, what would you say to people who say that rock or the rock era is dead? But I think the people who long for the days of denim and leather and spandex and extended stoned guitar solos will be disappointed going forward. My experience has been that there is a big clan of rockers who are unwilling to accept the metamorphosis of rock, which is an inevitability.

Artists like the Black Keys, Andrew Stockdale and Foals are where the genre is going, with or without those listeners.
