Dear Steve,
I can't speak for the Dan Darling groups (the name no doubt inspired by 
the 'Blackadder' Great War episodes) but can certainly vouch for Mart 
Rodgers' band.
We heard and met it in Germany in 1995 (during our own Oz band tour) 
and I have several of his band's records.
Happy, exciting OKOM.
Definitely recommended.
Kind regards,
Bill.
