The 'Dark and Difficult' Fourth Album from The Bar-Steward Sons of Val Doonican

"The Dark Side Of The Tarn" is the most 'different' BS/VD album to date, as it is the first one not feature our good brother Danny Doonican, who sadly departed the band due to a bizarre birth-certificate related incident (exact current whereabouts unknown... somewhere in Marbella is suspected).

In the aftermath of Danny's unfortunate exile, Darkside represents a reflective dark-side to the band. The album encompass the many things that get up people's noses and upset folk in day-to-day life in Barnsley (or indeed any other town in Britain today).

Subject matter includes roadworks, chavs, curries, teen pop-idols, shopping, road-rage, system-scroungers and people who leave late-night "presents" on Graham Ibbeson's magnificent statue of Dickie Bird in Barnsley's town centre!
