Danny & the Champions of the World released their album “You Are Not A Stranger Here” late last year through Loose to widespread acclaim. Their seventh studio release and first since 2017’s “Brilliant Light,” the album is the sound of a band exploring new and surprising musical terrain. Produced by Champs keyboard player Thomas Collison and featuring frontman Danny George Wilson’s most compelling songs to date, the band is now heading out on the road to show off both its wares and several gems from the extensive Wilson back catalogue, no doubt.
They embark on a three-week-long tour from tonight in Cardiff, and this is your chance to see what the fuss is all about. Here are all the dates – tickets are available from this link.

The last album was a real disaster! Certainly not Americana! A mix of bum-bum-instant-pop and electro. Someone who produces that kind of music is not really clean! I returned the album to Amazon UK!
That’s a shame Stuart as I think it’s a brilliant album that deserves all the praise it has received. I hope you take the opportunity to catch them live I feel sure you won’t be disappointed and you may revise your opinion of the album
If not you will still have had a good night out
