All good things come to an end and this is the final post for the DPBand.
As most of you know and understand, the loss of our dear friend and singer Steve Whalley in September 2025 was a truly sad time. Don has also decided he wants to spend more time with his family and not be part of a permanent band, so there will be no further releases from us.
Craig & Jon will still be working together on other projects so look out for them though…

We would like to thank you ALL for your support for the last few great years. We have some fantastic memories, such as tracks with Jim Lea & Bev Bevan. Great nights at the now sadly closed 45Live in Kidderminster UK and some awesome videos from our friends Colin and Sophie at Eye See You Films: https://youtu.be/B_-bn7Nebgg?si=yqbBFpwf8ZQFQmFg
Extra special thanks to all of our crew, helpers and friends for help all the way through. Jon Briscoe, Bob Wilson and Curly Davies for work on the early releases, John Barker, Tim Daines, Ed Taylor and many more…
See you all down the road - don’t forget to be nice to each other.
'After Hours' is a part of some Don Powell Band Releases. When the pressure if off and the main version is completed we like to give the track a more relaxed feel and vibe, add new instruments, take some away and re-work a few licks and tricks. It gives us an opportunity to feature band members playing other instruments.
This features Jon Bates on Keyboards and Electric Guitar, Steve Whalley on Vocals and Slide Guitar, Craig Fenney Bass and Acoustic Guitar and of course Don Powell on Drums with everyone including Lola the Dog on Percussion!
