80’s day party with Daniel James

80s day party with Daniel James from Yell plus DJ - n the vibrant pop scene of the 1980s and 1990s, Daniel rose to fame as one half of the chart-topping duo Yell!, scoring worldwide hits with “Instant Replay” and “Let’s Go Round Again”. Their album “Let’s Go” not only captured the sound of the era but also showcased Daniel’s song writing talent, featuring standout tracks such as “Give Me A Little More Time”, “What U Do to Me”, “Surrender”, and “I Get the Feeling”. The album has since been reissued on Secret Records, cementing its place as a nostalgic pop classic.

Before stepping into pop stardom, Daniel had already built an impressive career in television. He appeared in a range of TV dramas and became a familiar face as a live presenter on BBC television, brightening weekday mornings. His natural charisma led to a role on Children’s BBC, where he read out birthday messages. He then went on co-host the lively summer morning show” But First This” alongside Andy Crane and Sue Devaney on a three-hour live magazine programme on BBC1.

It was during this time that Daniel crossed paths with Jeff Chegwin, who, after hearing Daniel’s material, encouraged him to team up with another singer and form a band. That sparked the creation of Yell! and the rest, as they say, is history.

After stepping back from music, Daniel returned to his acting roots, taking on guest lead roles in a wide range of popular television series, including Last Tango in Halifax, Casualty, Coronation Street, Bad Girls, Doctors, and EastEnders. He also found success across the Atlantic, appearing in the NBC series Passions and in the off-Broadway play “The Feast of Alexander”
