It's Maria's name so it seemed natural.

Yes we've played live for many years and will soon be rehearsing a new set for 2012.

It allows a vast amount of people to get their music heard who otherwise would not have the opportunity.

I prefer creative freedom.

The Maria Daines band is a hard working no nonsense rock band playing original material written by Maria & guitarist Paul Killington. Hailing from Cambridgeshire, UK, they formed in 1996 becoming a fixture of the live music scene & making several TV appearances, garnering fans in over 20 countries. BBC radio features tracks regularly along with FM stations world wide. In August 2007 the band supported US artist Pink at Cardiff Arena. The concert raised over £90,000 for six animal welfare charities. Maria & Paul continue to work ceaselessly on the many facets of their songwriting with project pieces finding placement in TV/film production. Daines/Killington songs are published by NorthStar Music UK.

Many & varied over the years, Jimmy Page, Jimi Hendrix, Johnny Winter, Pete Townshend, Alvin Lee, Nils Lofgren, Frank Zappa, Neil Young, Allen Collins, Mick Ralphs, Luke Morley, Jackson Browne & Lennon & McCartney.
