From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Darryl Way (born 17 December 1948, in Taunton, Somerset) is a British rock and classical musician who, together with Francis Monkman, was a founding member of Curved Air. He is best known as a violinist.

He began his musical training at Dartington College of Arts, and later studied at the Royal College of Music, where he met Monkman. After leaving Curved Air he formed the band Wolf which later became known as Darryl Way's Wolf, before going on to release several solo albums, including Concerto for Electric Violin, which premiered on the South Bank Show with the Royal Philharmonia Orchestra in 1987.

In November 1996 his own opera, The Russian Opera, was premiered at The Place Theatre in London, and his song writing work includes music settings to lyrics by Steven Berkoff.
