   About Danny Widdicombe
Recently an ARIA nominated songwriter, Danny Widdicombe has just released his latest critically acclaimed solo album “Dominoes”. Here’s what the press had to say about it.

“Dominoes finds Danny at the top of his game. A man in rare form vocally, in storytelling and musically with a swagger and melancholy sweeping through this vibrant record at every turn.”Nick Argyriou, Rhythms Magazine

“Dominoes is one of the best country rock albums producedin a long time. 4/5 ” Bernard Zuel, Sydney Morning Herald

“Dominoes is a triumph - it plays like some long-lost classic from the Californian roots-rock scene, circa ‘72. 4/5 ”Noel Mengel, The Courier Mail

“Dominoes is another immaculate merging of country bluegrass with slightly downbeat indie rock. 4/5 ” Mitch Alexander, Rave Magazine

“Dominoes transcends any preconception of modern folk/alternative country that you might have. 4/4 ”Nathanael Cooper, Sunshine Coast Daily.

Danny also writes, sings and plays with the interstate “boozegrass” collective known as the Wilson Pickers. Sharing the stage with 5 of Australia’s best songwriters, Danny and the Wilson Pickers have been nominated for the 2009 ARIA award for best Blues and Roots album.

Danny has also played lead guitar in Bernard Fanning’s solo band as well as touring the country as part of Tim Rogers’ Temperance Union.

Get yourself to your local record store and find out what all the fuss is about.

Hey Danny   

 

Great to Space ya!

 

Meanwhile, if a butterfly flaps its wings in the Amazon and there’s no-one there to see it, does that mean there’s no such thing as Chaos Theory?

Aww hell yeah!

What did you want to play? That sounds like a lot of fun. Wait did you mean have a song 'by' November or start 'in' November?

These are the important questions that we must ask ourselves.

I am glad you like the hat. No one else does bar myself. At least there's TWO of us with a little taste. Take care buddy!

Oh man, I can't believe we Audreys are gonna be in Sydney til Sunday night! I'll miss the Adelaide gig, brother. Otherwise you know I'd be there with bells on. In fact that's all I'd wear, just bells. I'll cross check our gig dates cos we're bound to meet up somewhere. Love what I'm hearing Danny - can I get the album at my local purveyor of fine audio offerings?
Our baby still 4 weeks away, but seems that young Grant C. has good news :)

Oh I think I know those guys. Did they have a song that was called something like... 'lucky thirteen' or something 'thirteen'? If so, I know the guys and they're great. I'd be honoured to do something like that with you man! Let's do it!

Ahaha, dude, the first message makes perfect sense, but the second one has me scratching my head. our and a half? Myspace is so hilariously malfunctional.

Been playing a bit man. Trying to muster together some dollars to record in a non-horrible fashion in the hopes of fluking a reasonably-good-to-exceptional recording of some stuff. Which would be sweet!

Take care buddy.

It's been a long while my friend. I am so glad to hear you're going so well! Your new material sounds AWESOME man. You can hear the smiles coming through on these tracks, it's good to hear them.

I will come and watch you soon and say hello, reunion style.

Love to you and the family.

Matt.
