Danny & The Champions of the World are a London-based heartland rock, soul and Americana band led by singer-songwriter Danny George Wilson, active since 2007. They blend folk, blues, country and rock influences into richly melodic songs. Their 2015 album What Kind of Love was widely acclaimed, winning UK Album of the Year at the inaugural UK Americana Awards and also securing UK Artist of the Year and UK Song of the Year for "Clear Water" - a major plaudit in the British roots scene. Critics praised its joyful, soulful sound and expansive arrangements.
Their latest album is You Are Not a Stranger Here, released in October 2024, marking their seventh studio record. It features reflective songwriting and textured production, with standout tracks like "Talking a Good Game," "The Robot Cries" and "Sooner or Later," showing the band still evolving creatively.
Danny & The Champions of the World's seventh studio album 'You Are Not A Stranger Here', released on Loose Music in October 2024, has been "wildly and justifiably acclaimed" (RnR). Their live shows are leaving reviewers reaching for superlatives, from the summer's festival stages to sold out headline shows:
"When such as Bruce Springsteen and the Gaslight Anthem achieve international stardom it remains one of life’s abiding mysteries as to why Danny and the Champions of the World are not mentioned in the same breath...This was yet another brilliant performance" God is in the TV
"after much well-justified applause...the band, impossible as it seems, manage to turn it up even higher, ending proceedings with a bang while they are cheered to the rafters” RnR
The Champs will return in March 2027 with a headline show at London's Islington Assembly Hall.
