Danny Goffey

Goffey commented; "I used to buy sweets and cigarettes there and I want my family to be able to continue that tradition."

On 19 March 2008, the Diamond Hoo Ha Men played a gig on London's South Bank (having to change from the originally planned River Thames due to crowd control problems) to raise money for Crisis, offering a free ticket to their London Astoria show to whoever donated the most money. They were watched by around 75 spectators, having previously announced the busking session on radio station Xfm London. This was filmed for the BBC 2 programme, The Culture Show.

Goffey appeared as a contestant in the sixth series of Celebrity Masterchef on BBC One, in which he reached the semi-finals.

Goffey lived in Berkshire up until the age of 13, at which point his family relocated to the Oxfordshire village of Forest Hill, east of Oxford. He began to attend Wheatley Park School, but would more often be found bunking off in a field between his house and the school itself. When Goffey was 15, he met Gaz Coombes, two years his junior, on the playing fields of Wheatley School and asked him to form a band with him (The Jennifers). Not long after this he was expelled for compulsive smoking, insolence and regular non-attendance. In 1993, (after The Jennifers had separated) he and Gaz began to share a house on Cowley Road, and Goffey later managed to complete his A-levels at Henley College, despite never making it to any of the computer lectures he was supposed to attend.
