This year's gig going has now doubled! Following Hot Chip@Rock City I returned to Nottingham and this time visited the 'intimate' setting of the Bodega to see Danny & The Champions of The World, who were supporting Fionn Regan. I arrived to find the dreaded 'Sold Out' sign and had to use all my begging skills and blokey charm to get in. Let's hear it for kind bar manager Matt!
Anyway, D & CW are led by one of the guys who led the excellent Grand Drive, and continue not only the americana tinged sound of GD, but also the astonishingly great songwriting as well. Despite the tiny stage and short set they played up a storm, and have that effortless cool that bands get when they have been playing together for long enough to be tight, but are not yet bored of each other. D & CW have released a great album this year and I hope to see them again, playing a full set, later in the year.
Headline act Fionn Regan was backed by most of D & CW and although I didn't quite fall for his starey eyed Dylanisms he went down very well with the assembled mass.
Enjoy the track below and invest in one of the best albums of 2010.

It's fantastic you're getting out to shows (sigh)... and having talked your way in makes it even more impressive.
That is a fantastic song, Kevin. LOVE the sound.
