Danny Thompson
It is with great sadness that we learnt of Danny Thompson's death. Besides being an extraordinarily gifted musician and improviser, Danny was one of the most delightful human beings you could ever spend time with.
He loved life, people and music and only ever seemed motivated by his very generous nature. It’ll be a great loss to music and to all those who loved him dearly, of which I’m one of many.
– Peter Gabriel
As well as his work with Pentangle and a host of artists that included Kate Bush, John Martyn, Nick Drake, The Incredible String Band, Talk Talk, David Sylvian and Everything But The Girl, Danny Thompson also made very notable contributions to Real World Records releases by both The Blind Boys of Alabama and S. E. Rogie. He also featured on Peter Gabriel’s album Up. In 2007 Peter presented Danny with a BBC Radio 2 Folk Award.
Danny Thompson 4 April, 1939 – 23 September, 2025
