About this concert
Danny & The Champions of the World return to the stage for their first London headline show for over five years. Following on from festival appearances over the summer, Danny thought it was about time the band came out of hiding. The show marks ten years since the release of what has become the Champs signature song "(Never Stop Building) That Old Space Rocket" and the band plan to celebrate with a "best of" set spanning all six studio albums. To get the party started, the show will kick off with sets from The Dreaming Spires and Suasi. The Dreaming Spires recently returned, sounding better than ever, to celebrate ten years since their debut album, 'Brothers in Brooklyn', which Q Magazine called "the most thrilling country rock debut album since Big Star”. Their set will also include material from their second LP 'Searching for the Supertruth', their 'Paisley Overground' EP recorded at Ardent Studios in Memphis, and perhaps even some of their rumoured new material... Suasi head to London on the back of their latest album 'Peces d’antiquari' bringing their Majorcan sunshine-tinged alt-country to The Lower Third stage.

Danny and the Champions of the World Biography

“Some things remain constant… not least Wilson’s unfailing feel for Southern/Celtic soul melodies, and his eloquence of sentiment never allowing affection for his inspirations to lead him in the direction of pointless pastiche when he could break your heart or make you smile instead” Mojo

Danny George Wilson’s formidable credentials go back to his days in seminal UK roots rock band Grand Drive with brother Julian, a solo album released on Paris-based tastemaker label Fargo Records and six albums of consistently high calibre output with the revolving cast of his Danny & The Champions of the World incarnation. In 2016 the Champs swept the boards at the inaugural UK Americana Awards, winning with Album, Artist and Song of the Year. Alongside Robin Bennett (The Dreaming Spires, Goldrush, Saint Etienne) and Tony Poole (Starry Eyed and Laughing) he released an eponymous album as Bennett Wilson Poole in 2018 (“instant classics… hints of Willie and Levon” Bud Scoppa, Uncut) - bagging another UK Americana Awards ‘Artist of the Year’ alongside being voted Americana UK's ‘Band Of The Year’.
