Darryl Read

Darryl Michael Roy Read 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 punk rock. He collaborated with musicians such as Bill Legend, Mickey Finn and Ray Manzarek.

Read was born in Exeter, where his father Hedley Read was working on a stage production of A Streetcar Named Desire. Read struggled at school and following his parents divorce, he lived with his grandparents. Following his grandmothers death when he was seven years old, Read was sent to Parkside Boarding School, in East Horsley.
