Darling BOY, or Alexander Gold, (for that is his given name) is an entirely self-taught multi-instrumentalist, songwriter and actor. He’s starred alongside Jonathan Rhys Meyers’ Joe Strummer as The Clash's Topper Headon in the feature film London Town, and more recently named as Musical Director of the smash hit musical All Or Nothing in London's West End having played Ian ‘Mac’ McLagan of Small Faces and The Faces and is playing John Lennon as part of one of the world’s biggest cruise ships’ resident Beatles.

He's a member of The United Kingdom Ukulele Orchestra, lived as a guest of Dolly Parton in deepest Tennessee, been a member of Joey Ramone's favourite band of all time, got talked out of setting up a London squat by Sex Pistol Glen Matlock, and been taken out for dinner by Moby.

As if all that wasn’t enough, Alex has also joined Supergrass’ Danny Goffey’s new band, switching between bass, guitar and drums.

Ultimately though it’s creating music that spurs Alex on, and Darling BOY is the vehicle that finds him well and truly in the driving seat. Enthusiastically referential and expertly self-aware, Darling BOY is a modern-rock masterclass and one of the genre’s most prominent rising stars.
