Spokesman Oliver Dudok van Heel said: “Danny George Wilson already has an eclectic musical career behind him, first as frontman of Danny and the Champions of the World, as member of Wilson Bennett Poole and co-owner of Union Music, Lewes’ independent and unique record store.

“Danny has just released his first solo album Another Place which got the four-star treatment from Mojo describing this collection of songs recorded in Sussex with Hamish Benjamin as ‘an idiosyncratic gem…one of Wilson’s finest.’

“It shows a new side to Danny’s songwriting, reminiscent of Jeff Tweedy with vocals that bring a young Dylan to mind.”

Another Place was be released on Loose on October 15 on classic black vinyl, CD and digitally.

“Supporting Danny will be Brighton based alt-folk duo Memorial, just fresh off a UK tour with Courtney Marie Andrews. Memorial are Jack Watts and Ollie Spalding whose music stands out for their stunning harmonies reminiscent of early Simon & Garfunkel.

“They have just released their first EP, Dialtone, which includes the hauntingly beautiful Moth To A Flame as well as Latchkey which has been nominated for best song by the UK Americana Music Awards.”
