"David "Alan" Evans" (14 June 1949 – 11 April 1999) was a Wales/Welsh professional darts player who competed in the 1970s and 1980s.

Evans was one of the early faces of television darts and had some tournament success in the 1970s. By the time the sport gained popularity in the 1980s, Evans's form had faded and he wasn't in the limelight as much as Eric Bristow, John Lowe and Jocky Wilson - who all found more fame and success from the game.

What we have with this band is a family thing where we all really respect each other's playing.

These are shocking findings.

All the parties that receive petrol revenue - including the oil companies, service stations and Government - need to be more accountable.

We're all - especially myself - influenced by old-school music, but we all listen to some new-school stuff as well. Those influences of ours, we just soak them up, and they just come out in our writing and our performances.

People say we're a jazz group. But there's no way I would ever call myself a jazz drummer. The only thing that's jazz about us is keeping the need to move forward and evolve.

Man, he's just one of our idols. I've been listening to Scofield since I was a teenager. One thing I always respected about him was you never knew what his next album would be like. Even today, he still pushes the envelope. For someone to take that kind of approach with his music and then show interest in playing with us is really inspiring.

It's fun; we've never really played Boston before.

It's really about equal and fair access to tool use.

It's cool that we've been able to keep our music fresh and keep people interested. Obviously, there are going to be people who are like, 'Oh man, I dig the old stuff more.' But, we have to do what we have to do.
