We are really pleased to be welcoming Danny Lowndes toMarsden Mechanics. Danny last joined us here in December 2025 as part of the Irish Arts Foundation programme, and it feels right to have him back, this time with his own project, Danny Lowndes Hot Club, at the centre of the room.

Danny picked up the guitar around the age of ten, inspired by the records playing at home, from Buddy Holly and Chuck Berry to The Beatles. As he grew older, the blues took hold, with players like B.B. King, Albert King and Buddy Guy shaping his sound and deepening his connection to the instrument. By twelve he was playing in bands, gigging regularly by fourteen, and through his late teens and twenties his playing moved across rock, funk and reggae, gathering influences along the way.
Then, in his early thirties, something shifted again. Jazz and swing began to take hold, and discoveringDjango Reinhardtopened the door to gypsy swing, a sound that continues to shape his playing now.
Danny Lowndes Hot Club grows out of that journey, bringing together years of listening, playing and exploring, rooted in a genuine love of the music.

Danny has played on stages all over the U.K and Europe from iconic venues such as the Royal Albert Hall London, LElyseee Monmatre Paris, Grand Auditorium Louis Lumiere Cannes and has been featured on BBC Radio 1 Extra, BBC Radio Sheffield, and has recorded at BBC Maida Vale studios in London. He now returns to Marsden Mechanics for what will be an unforgettable night.
