About Darryl Read

Darryl Michael Roy Read (19 September 1951 – 23 June 2013) was a British singer, guitarist, drummer, actor, poet and writer. In the late 1960s, Read was a member of Crushed Butler, considered by some to be amongst the forerunners of proto punk and punk rock. He collaborated with musicians such as Bill Legend, Mickey Finn and Ray Manzarek. Read appeared as a child actor in a number of films, including, aged 13, in Daylight Robbery (1964), for which he won a silver medal for best actor at the Venice Film Festival. He also appeared onstage in two rock-based plays and a number of television programmes.
