For those of you who remember those days of the late ‘70’s rockabilly revival bands you will recall Danny Wild. Known for his unique talent of blending ‘Interesting and unusual’ lyrics with driving rock riffs, it’s hard to forget the fact that Danny likes a good larf when he works. ‘Old Bill Boogie’ was a ‘B’ side on the original ‘Mean Evil Daddy’ single and really rocks it to the boys in blue, while keeping a nice level of sarcasm in the lyrics. 200 Miles is regularly covered by many of todays more prominent rockin’ bands.
With a pedigree which includes his involvement with blues outfit Moggie, the first line up of Brewers Droop, subsequent work with Memfis Bend, Sunstroke and Shakin' Stevens this cat has rocked.
If any of you saw Carl Perkins tour in ’78 you would remember Danny as the supporting act for the great man when he performed at the Weymouth Pavilion.
Having spent some years in semi-retirement, some touring with the Danny Wild Frantic Fifties show and many deputations and guest appearances, Danny is now back with the music he loves to play - Rockabilly
