They are a group of young people with their own ideas and they have formed their own band in Newcastle.They are Murphy,Leon from Newcastle university and Stella from Durham university.The band was named DDL because each member had their own homework deadline before renting the band.At present,the band has three kinds of instruments:guitar,drum and bayan(Traditional russian musical instrument).

“It is a common music hobby that brings us together, not only as partners in music, but also as close friends in life.I can play bayan (a Russian instrument) in addition to the keyboard. I am currently studying for a PhD in music at Durham university. I have formed a band related to tango in China before, and has a good foundation for music since childhood“said by stella.
