DANIEL WERE A TALENTED NEWCASTLE POP GROUP FORMED AFTER THEIR FIRST GROUP DELTA EXPANDED. THE BAND LINE UP CONSISTED OF: ROGER PYKE, DAVE STEWART, JIM NEAL, PAUL TRIMBLE, JOSE MCLAUGHLIN, KARL HOFMAN & DAVID VAN KRIEDT.DANIEL MAY HAVE STAYED IN OBSCURITY BUT LUCKILY THEY EMPLOYED A NOTEWORTHY PRODUCER CALLED MIKE RUDD AND FROM THEN ON THEY GOT A LOT OF INTEREST FROM OZ AND OVERSEAS (MIKE WAS AN EX-MEMBER OF THE GROUP SPECTRUM, HIS HIT "I'LL BE GONE" IS ON THIS BLOG FURTHER DOWN) .
DANIEL HAD A MASSIVE LOCAL HIT IN 1977 WITH "ARE YOU LISTENING" AND OF COURSE, IT HAS BEEN RELEGATED TO THE VAULTS BY THE BIG COMPANIES WHO OWN OZ MUSIC NOWADAYS, BUT HERE IS AN EXCELLENT ALMOST C.D. QUALITY COPY OF THIS "WEST COAST" SOUNDING POP CLASSIC:
