Tenerife 90 - My Early Years as a Singer as Darren John

[@janhorsmanjan4458]

Really enjoyed your vlog about your time in Tenerife and have also found your walking vlogs very inspiring. Lockdown isn’t easy but you have such a calm manner with a twinkle of humour, it really cheers us all up. I hope you do meet up with the other vloggers , you are all very different but brilliant at what you do. Be great to see you do vlogs with the other guys. Be good to know more about you and how you got into vlogging. Keep it up Darren. Thank you and take care.

[@DarrenJohn]

Thank you so much Jan. Very kind of you to say. Its the positive comments that keep everyone going. I'm sure there will be up coming videos on my background 👍

[@kevincunningham9589]

As an ex muso, I really enjoyed this one. Amazing what different backgrounds people have; I would never have guessed you were an entertainer. Well done Darren. The good old days, as they say. Wished I had more videos of my band days.😊

[@TAKTAK_Toys]

Im already looking forward to the September 2023 Tenerife content Darren the trip by bike was amazing if challenging

[@DarrenJohn]

Thank you so much

[@jamesweber4938]

I started watching Rick and then Rick and Shelley about a week ago and have watched Lee for over a year. I see now after seeing you sing why you have a love of the theatre and the entertainment business in general.

Darren John, man of mystery and rare talent ! Great voice, my friend ! You should've been on the Jools Holland show ! Man, those were the days when you could find serious singing talent at clubs and other live music venues. Thanks, Darren, for showing us another side of you ! All the best !
