Although he was christened Robert he never liked the name and in his late teens decided that he would rather be called Daz. Likewise for him the name Shields didn't fit with the image he wished to portray and thus he became known as Daz Hunt.
He was expelled from school at the age of 9 for persistently calling Norbert (who was in the year below) "Bignose". After a short career as a ballboy for Chesterfield F.C he soon found himself enjoying a life of leisure on the dole with nothing to do all day but listen to his Bay City Rollers records and grow increasingly bizarre hairstyles. At the time of his name change he finally found his purpose in life when he became a member of the Possee, soon descending into the hard drinking fast living lifestyle that was to be the downfall of so many of them. He found a soul mate in the equally unemployable Charmer and they would wander the streets of Chesterfield shouting "Get on this" at any totty that would be unfortunate enough to cross their path.
Then in 1990 came the opportunity of a lifetime when, having been forgiven for his name calling, Norbert asked him to join the Fingolstones along with Charmer.
At this time Norbert was concentrating on developing his keyboard synthesiser skills and was looking to relinquish the lead vocal to a new face. With the Charmer drafted in purely for his phenomenal good looks (and to attract more groupies) Daz became the new lead singer for the Fingolstones.
The seminal "Walking through Birdholme" was his first stab at making the lead vocal his own. Unfortunately although the vocal was fine the contribution of the rest of the band on the day of the recording was not so good. The Charmer spent too much time in front of the mirror sorting out his latest barnet and Dobba and Norbert were both out of their heads on Ventolin. The end result was a bit of a mess and a potential classic became a bit of a shambles. Although things picked up slightly with subsequent tracks recorded at that session the band failed to reach the heights of melodic greatness previously achieved.
This was to be Daz's first stint as lead vocalist as the band fell apart due to Dobba and Norberts drug habits which had got even worse with their new reliance on Salbutamol.
By the time they became clean and returned to the studio Daz had found a proper job for the first time in his life and was now a highly respected chef in a top south coast restaurant. The highlight of his career so far being the preparation of the finger buffet at the wedding of Posh and Becks in 1999.
In 2008 Daz returned to the bosom of the band. He had just finished 19th on Junior Masterchef when the lure of the stage proved too much to resist. His reappearance in the band line up was only to be on a part time basis though as he had accepted a contract with Farm Foods to develop a new brand of low fat lard. Too date he has failed miserably.
Whilst the tracks he lent his vocal talents too on Fingolstones For Sale and The Fingolstones Sell Out are rightly regarded as classics it would appear Daz has now left the band for good. All attempts by Norbert to get him involved again are snubbed as he continues to try and develop the ultimate low fat fat.

Daz's poor personal hygiene forced the band to take drastic measures in order to get him to bathe.
