“A legend and an inspiration” Marc Riley, BBC 6 Music
Daniel's popularity in mainstream culture is partly due to his show-stealing appearances on Channel 4’s hit TV programme The Undateables. He has featured on the show more than any other person they have filmed to date, and when they revisited Daniel for the fourth time, going on tour and performing his track "Playboy Girls", there was an immediate and overwhelming response to his music.
The Daniel Wakeford Experience, is to back Daniel at his live shows. A key success of the band is that it features professional musicians who also have experience in supporting learning disabled artists; Lizzy Carey (viola, keys, guitar and backing vocals), Sam Dook (electric guitar and backing vocals), Steve Tovell (drums and backing vocals) and Katie Windsor (bass guitar, backing vocals and manager).
