FEATURE The Dai sy Bow lers x T             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! 35
