he Daisy Bowlers are a band that transcend genres. Formed of international musicians who, between
them, can boast such accolades as 'Grammy nominee', performances at the famous Ronnie Scott's and
fans from Humphrey Lyttleton to Don Black. They are one of those truly extroadinary bands who just
seem to possess the rare talent of bringing sheer, unadulterated joy to their audiences. Look around you
at a Daisy Bowlers gig and you'll see a sea of smiling faces, people who have forgotten their cares for a couple of
hours and have been transported to another world. So, their album, released last year 'Music to Smile To' is very
aptly named indeed. The 411's Kelly Andrews, met up with Dave Cooke, Heather Simmons (Mrs Cooke) and
Debbie Bines, to talk Grammys, New York, love stories and the curious incident with the double bass!
