Biographies

The Long Run hails from Canvey Island, Essex, in the South East of England. The group itself consists of childhood friends Darren Jones, John Cordon and Stewart Archer, who have been playing and performing music together since their school days.
In 2005, Darren and John decided to form a new band with Darren as the lead singer, guitarist, saxophone & harp player and John as the lead guitarist and backing vocalist. After putting some material together they were soon joined by Darren’s brother Gavin on bass guitar and friend Ryan Love on the drums. Stewart Archer was the last member to join although he would always get up and play with them whenever he was able to attend a gig. This completed the line up with him adding keyboards, guitar & vocals. The band has been playing together as a five piece ever since, and have continued to perform all over the U.K. at countless venues and festivals playin there mix of hard rock & roll & rythym & blues.
