Very frank , funny and forthright.

Top geezer bloke.  Been very fond of his DB playing since i first bought Solid Air back in the 70's which i still own, but also his work  with Nick Drake,  which i also own and nor forgetting his pre  Martyn and Drake stuff with Pentangle, and yes i  own some Pentangle as well.

Coolest DB player around.

He talks about John Martyn and Solid Air in the video.

I watched it

Cheers for the link.

In the mid 00’s I saw the reunited original Pentangle line up - THAT tone he has sent shivers down my spine, to hear it live and that loud was truly something special.

Thanks for the heads up. I'm a big fan of Danny Thompson, he's such an incredible musician.

To misquote Tom Lehrer, "Danny has  been a particular idol of mine since chidbirth".

I would happily pay to listen to him tuning up.

Is his bass called Victoria?

Thoroughly enjoyed that, thank you.

Love old muso stories, my favourite kind of interview.  
Probably not for gear heads 😊
