In Memoriam: Darryl Hunt

Darryl Hunt, the second bassist for the legendary Celtic folk/punk band the Pogues, has died at age 72.

The hard living Pogues' original bassist was Cait O'Roirdon.  Hunt came on board with her departure in 1986.  Perhaps ironically, O'Roirdon had been a vocalist in Hunt's jazz band Pride of the Cross.

Hunt was English and born in London, and played in a variety of genras.  He's credited with the late Pogues hit Love You Till The End.
