Danny and The Champions of the World

Danny & The Champions of the World has always been a pretty loose collection of great musicians, songwriters, stowaways and adventurers. The current line up is steady, it’s not a collective of folks anymore, it’s a band, a great band which has been rocking the sh*t out of various venues since the release of ‘Stay True’ in Sept 2013. The latest of which was a sold out performance at London’s Jazz Café on Thursday 6th March 2014.

‘Stay True’ is the fourth album from Danny & The Champions Of The World. It's also Danny George Wilson’s eleventh album (six long players from the much loved Grand Drive plus one solo outing). If the critics are to be believed then this is "Probably the best thing Danny has ever done" (Jim Meredith, BBC Radio Ulster).

"a band that seem to be getting better and better and more soulful with each release" - Gideon Coe (BBC Radio 2 / 6 Music)
