About Me

Well then. Here it is due to popular demand from all you good, good people who showed support for Danny on last.fm

I did say he'd update this thing when his internet was back up. Looks like that'll be a while off tho. Specially since his apartment block burnt down & he lost everything he owned. Silver lining is he was brave/stupid/drunk enough to run back in for his guitars so it's not hindered the progress of his new album. In fact oddly enough, his creative cup runneth over lately. Funny how a bit of adversity seems to throw fuel on the songwriting fire.

So anyway. It's all good. He's doin open mics round Manchester now - so if yer in the area then come down, have a listen, say ello & have a pint with us. Oh n for all those who asked, his 1st album "Emily's Songs" is free to download here . I think Danny was overwhelmed with the following its had, specially as it was recorded with a pound shop karaoke machine & a sorry little charity shop drum. It was never meant to see the light of day but it's had so much support. Which is fantastic......

.......but.

The real masterpiece is still brewing. "Charcoal & Sin" is gonna be epic. Epic I tell you. There's blood sweat & tears going into it as we speak & it should emerge from the bowels of his garage/recording studio in the not-too-distant future. It's got soul...guts...and a beating rock n roll heart this one! :)

Ahhhh. Self-produced, bluesy garage rock.

The perfect antidote to all the wishy washy manufactured shite out there. Just a guy with a guitar & summat to say...playing his heart out. Summat with a bit of personality. And a bit of meat on it's bones. ;)
