DANNY & THE CHAMPIONS OF THE WORLD
‘LIVE CHAMPS!’ OUT ON 13 OCTOBER ON LOOSE RECORDS
UK TOUR IN OCTOBER
“the real thing – they are the champions” Q MAGAZINE
“Danny and his wonderful band fuse blues, country and even gospel to provide a magnificent show” – NO.2 BEST LIVE BAND 2013 AMERICANA UK
“In a way it’s the ultimate Champs album” enthuses Danny & The Champions Of The World front man Danny George Wilson and he’s not wrong. The double album runs from 2008’s These Days taken from their self titled debut, to a selection of favourites from last year’s critically acclaimed album Stay True (“their finest set yet” ★★★★ MOJO”), via the likes of Henry The Van from 2010’s Streets Of Our Time and Colonel & The King from 2011’s Hearts & Arrows. It’s almost like a greatest hits of Danny & The Champions The World. However, this particular hits package captures what the studio recordings can’t quite convey – the raw passion and energy of a Danny & The Champs live show. As Danny explains “ever since I was a kid I’ve absolutely loved live recordings, ever since we played those bootleg cassettes in our dad’s car again and again… its something that a studio album cannot capture. This is what we sound like right now and I’m thrilled we were able to capture that”.
Recorded live at a sold out hometown show at Jazz Cafe, Camden on the 6th March this year, featuring co-conspirators Trevor Moss & Hannah-Lou, you can either take this as a welcome reminder of a shit-hot show, or a harsh lesson on how you should never pass up an opportunity to catch these guys live.
