Danny Lee Band

Somewhere in the abyss of pain lies the funny side

About Me

The band was formed three years ago with the aim of getting a great bunch of talented musicians to go out and make music and hopefully a little pocket money. I used to be a circuit squash player but now coach the game as a day job. The Danny Lee Band is mainly a covers band at present doing weddings, birthday parties and other private functions.I have loads of songs scribbled in books and on old tapes and I am slowly achieving my aim of getting them recorded. The band are regularly performing the original songs at gigs throughout the South East. Last year I recorded four songs that were produced by Chris Brokis who I met through squash. I am grateful to Chris for encouraging my ideas and for showing faith in the music. Hopefully Chris and I will continue to work together in the future."What am I Supposed to Do" was recorded at Chris's studio. In November 2007 I made a flying visit to Nashville where I cut a CD which was produced by Scott Neubert. Scott assembled some fantastic musicians(Including himself) at Studio 19. Three of the songs("Just Fly" Running Down the Road" and "I Won't Make Any Promises") are currently posted on this site . Guitarist Bob Williams and I also cut four acoustic tracks one of which ("Flowers in the Rain") you can listen to here. I have met some great people here on MySpace and some very talented musicians. I have had the pleasure of sharing the bill with Tara London, Genevieve Little and Emmett Stang all of whom are class acts. Special thanks to Suzanne Dee Gorman for fixing the American trip. Enjoy the site.

English Morning (Circa 1975)

  England slowly kills me by degrees As winter falls gloomy and dank On dark surburban mornings Of headlights peering through the drizzle. The gutter dirt splatters the pavements As wooly lined v...

LOVE

  I don't mourn lost love Stolen by that tyrant time I embrace new love To move me down the line.

Heartbreak

  You can break my heart by not looking round Or by slinking away without a sound. By omitting to call By building a wall You can break my heart with nothing at all.   You can break my heart...

A Right to Change My Mind

MUDDLE

  We are all right in the middle, And rather in a muddle, With some of life's great riddles, And keeping out of trouble. When it isn't such a diddle, Making dry feet avoid puddles. The main roads...
