Danny and the Champions of the World

Event information

DON'T be surprised if you suddenly find yourself transported to a seedy dive, circa 1979, when Danny & The Champions Of The World visit The Greystones on Wednesday 15th February. That is if you're wise enough to snap up tickets to see the band who have delivered the best Americana music straight out of Croydon in the shape of their album Hearts And Arrows. The follow up to last year's acclaimed album, Streets Of Our Time, is one of the year's best releases, drawing comparisons with everybody from Tom Petty to Springsteen's E Street Band. Frontman Danny Wilson, once of Americana favourites Grand Drive, has picked up his Telecaster again to breathe life back into an era that provided some of the best power pop tunes.
