Danny Thompson

You never just worked with Danny. You also worked with his double bass he called Victoria. The two of them were joined at the hip and together they were the most fascinating storytellers – earthy and of the wild.

Danny was the sweetest, dearest man and a real character. A rare and special treasure.

I remember seeing him play live many times with the brilliant John Martyn and I never dreamed that I would get to work with such an incredible talent.

Thank you Danny for setting the work on fire with Victoria. I’m going to miss you so much!

Kate.
