Balloon + Danny George Wilson
The Betsey Trotwood, EC1R 3BL , [Venue Details]Trotwood Events proudly present a double bill of neo-psych legends Balloon and Danny & The Champions Of The World & Grand Drive frontman Danny George Wilson.
BALLOON heads out on a first UK tour in more than 30 years to perform acoustic arrangements of songs from its two classic LPs. The band’s acclaimed 1992 debut Gravity was recorded at Daniel Lanois’ New Orleans studio by Michael Brook, and featured Sarah McLachlan. 2024’s eagerly-awaited follow up Gas ‘n’ Air was madein Mexico City, and also earned rave reviews.
Balloon’s folk-soul sits alongside artists such as The Go-Betweens, Blue Nile, and Velvet Underground, and fans include journalist and broadcaster Pete Paphides and BBC DJ Gary Crowley.
• “A total, 24-carat masterpiece. I’m almost crying as I play it.” Luke Haines, Record Collector Magazine
• “Such a beautiful album. I swear it will bring a tear to your eye.” David Rea, State of Sound Magazine
• “God, I love this group.” Pete Paphides, Soho Radio
DANNY GEORGE WILSON’s formidable credentials go back to his days in seminal UK roots rock band Grand Drive with brother Julian, a solo album released on Paris-based tastemaker label Fargo Records and six albums of consistently high calibre output on Loose Music with the revolving cast of his Danny & The Champions of the World incarnation.
