DANIEL Wakeford – who shot to fame with an unforgettable appearance in hit TV show The Undateables – is bringing his latest musical project to Somerset.

The Daniel Wakeford Project is set to perform at The Cobblestones pub and music venue in Bridgwater next month.

“Beginning his music career in 2009 with learning disabled arts organisation, Carousel, Daniel has been blending pop and rock melodies for well over a decade, bringing his own unique flair to the scene,” a spokesperson said.

“Daniel’s music, filled with positivity and energy, has touched countless hearts. Now it’s your chance to experience it live with his incredible band.”

He shot to fame alongside fellow Undateables participant Lily when the pair became a couple. In the 2018 Christmas Special of the show, Daniel proposed.

However, the pair have since split, with Daniel continuing his musical career and in 2022, becoming a Myth Buster Ambassador for Mencap, a charity supporting people with learning disabilities and their families.

Supporting people with learning disabilities, especially in the arts, is something The Cobblestones aims to promote through its events, said Greg Hodgson, manager and co-owner of The Cobblestones and SKLTN Events.

“Daniel and his work with these charities is inspiring and demands our utmost respect,” Greg added.

“We believe everyone should have the opportunity, a stage, to have their voice heard and to share their art in whatever form they choose.

“Our growing community here at The Cobblestones includes those with neurodiversity and disabilities, so it is important to us that we are showing our support, respect and appreciation to all artists and audiences equally.”

As well as hitting the stage in his pop-rock band, Daniel is also known for co-hosting the Leaders List Awards Show at the O2 Arena in London, alongside the Radio 2 legend, Ken Bruce.

The Bridgwater show is set for Thursday, April 17. For event information and tickets, see The Cobblestones’ Facebook page.
