Bristling with character and originality but all the while steeped in tradition, Rag'n'Bone Blues is an album for any fan of traditional jazz/blues acoustic guitar playing. Incredibly strong song-writing and some truly excellent finger-picking!

A classically trained musician, Danny fills his time performing, composing and teaching. He has recorded two original albums; “Easy Street” (2004) and “Wood’n’Strings” (2011) and toured extensively with Nicky Moore’s Blues Corporation, appearing on their cd “Hog on a Log” (2007). Respected by his peers, he performed at the Registry of Guitar Tutors annual conference (2011) and has studied American Roots & Blues Guitar with guitar maestro Mike Dowling in Wyoming, USA.

Danny favours the acoustic approach of bottleneck-slide, acoustic steel-string and resonator guitars. His songwriting is a unique combination of the old and the new; tradition and inspiration. With old world sensibility and well-crafted tunes, his style is at once highly melodic, rhythmic and engaging. Add to this some haunting renditions of the traditional blues greats (Robert Johnson, Leadbelly, Skip James, Blind Willie McTell), some travelling songs, spiritual songs, instrumentals, ballads, not forgetting some red hot finger-picking and... well, you’re starting to get the idea...

“One of the most subtle and clever acoustic guitarists around” ~Darren Weale, Blues Matters UK
