Loving Danny
“He had played in hundreds of venues just like it – dark, hot rooms that smelled of stale beer and cigarettes. But this night was different. Somewhere in the crowd stood an A&R man named Jed Wilson who had the power to change Danny’s life forever. If he liked The Wonderfulls he could give them a record contract: the golden ticket that would take them out of local pubs, out of new band nights and poorly paid support slots, and put them on the bill at festivals and thousand-seater venues and even,... one day, stadiums.
Danny wanted a record contract more than he wanted anything. There was no point fooling myself; no matter how much he declared that he loved me, if he’d had to choose between a record contract and me, I’m pretty sure I’d have been a poor runner-up. Music was his first love. Danny had spent his childhood imagining himself on stage at Wembley, a huge crowd mouthing along to his lyrics. Unlike most childhood dreams, which are drummed out of us by the realisation that we don’t have the talent or the opportunity to fulfil them, Danny’s had stayed with him, growing ever stronger.MoreLess
