Based in Stockport, near Manchester UK, we are Darren Poyzer & Trisha Plant, an award winning yet really down to earth creative couple, living a modest life within a working class community.
We hope these projects - some professional, some a labour of love - interest you, and we truly appreciate your time and consideration :-)
Thank you, all good things, Darren & Trish xx

Darren Poyzer
2026 completes my 40th year as a community musician. I continue to be a singer and songwriter, youth music leader, community singing lead, SEN music facilitator and project manager.
Previously I've delivered music in youth work, higher and special education, promoted over 2,500 live music events, dabbled at tour managing, sound engineering, music tech and tuning a 12 string acoustic guitar!
I cover acoustic classics for special events (eg Oktoberfest tours), love a bit of a laugh and on-stage banter, I play acoustic guitar, harmonica and piano, and I'm privileged to say I have played live all across the UK at many prestigeous theatres, festivals, bars, care homes, peoples' homes and gardens, on a London bus navigating the Yorkshire Moors as a birthday treat for a friend, and at the very beginning, in a bus shelter for some of my mates.
I drink coffee, I love making new friends, am always happy to drive, park up in the van and / or set up camp :-).

Trisha Plant
I am a creative craft-lover, family centred, keen-to-learn musician, these days getting by with a medical condition that makes the good days all the more enjoyable and special.
I know this as I have made many new friends through music, although I tend to stay quiet in the background most of the time; being on stage in the spotlight is still rather new to me.
I can't thank enough each and every person who has encouraged me so far, including of course the amazing NHS and those closest to me off stage, so I will keep going onwards and work on making sure I am able to contribute to a most enjoyable show.
Please do support creative adventures ... they bring for all of us, priceless moments and friendships.
keep your heart sunny,Trish x
