Touring with Fairport Convention in 2025
‘A one man orchestra… A poetic soul, and a sublime vocal range, reminiscent of the late Jeff Buckley’ - Americana UK
Winner of the Liverpool Acoustic Judges’ Award 2021, Danny is a finger-style guitarist and songwriter who has opened for Martin Carthy, Tony McManus, Jon Gomm, and Jeffrey Foucault. He is touring with Fairport Convention in 2025 as the opening act on their Winter Tour.
Danny’s debut solo album, 'Small Talk Songs', is available now. Danny recorded the album himself, in his Liverpool city centre flat, with three microphones. Throughout the recording process, he opened the door to his little fifth-floor balcony, so that the songs of the Scouse seagulls overhead could be heard lilting quietly in the background of this airy, richly recorded acoustic album.
'Bradley's guitar playing is a delight... A clear voice, and he is adventurous with his lyrics'. - Americana UK
'For a debut album, this has incredibly strong notes of originality that will resonate with many.’ - Folk Radio
‘… An up-and-coming virtuoso guitarist’ - The Daily Record
‘Small Talk Songs is an excellent debut album which holds the attention throughout and shows a depth of musicianship promising much more for the future.’ - Folking
‘Enchantingly melodic… Stunning guitar skills. A wonderful mix of old school Greenwich Village folk and modern folk pop’ - Lemonfire Brigade
