Danny Mortimer

With his vision and passion for music, singer/songwriter/guitarist Danny Mortimer has been grabbing attention among gig-goers and radio listeners all across the country since bursting onto the scene in 2015.  Having released three solo albums, his brand of Melodic Guitar Based Rock has proven time and time again to being increasingly popular, consistently breaking new ground every single year.

 

Danny's music has taken him on an incredible journey so far and has allowed him to play at some of the countries best venues and festivals, including the O2 ABC (Glasgow), Belladrum Tartan Heart Festival (Beauly), Tunnels (Aberdeen), The Ironworks (Inverness), The O2 Academy (Glasgow) and multiple nights at the P&J Live (Aberdeen), including live dates ahead of George Ezra, Michael McIntyre, Paul Heaton and The Zutons.
Danny is currently recording his 4th solo release, which has already seen material appear in his live sets, with incredibly positive feedback from fans.
 

Playing alongside his full live backing band or as a solo acoustic act, Danny's passion for his work shines through every single time he steps up to the microphone.​

​"Artists who consistently reinvent themselves typically yield a longer shelf-life. David Bowie, Madonna and Sir Paul McCartney are a few artists who used reinvention to stay relevant and prolong their careers. Add Scotsman Danny Mortimer Music to that list. After a decade in live music, creating great songs for gig-goers and radio listeners to enjoy, Danny has taken the unusual step to reinvent his sound early in his career, but to great effect!" ~  The Max Radio

"A good voice and the chorus is pretty anthemic" ~ Eddy Temple-Morris, Virgin Radio DJ 

​

"After a scuzzy hard-rock riff as a prelude, Opener unravels as a lyrically tender Trans-Atlantic time capsule to the 90's with hints of both Paul Draper and early FNM Mike Patton in the vocals that pour plenty of soul into the otherwise strident and emotionally-charged track"  ~  A&R Factory Review

"Excellent performance, two songs that I could easily hear on the radio. Main thing that caught me was the Songwriting. And Danny's work moving about on stage was excellent. I always think it must be difficult, to play guitar, playing lead stuff like that and moving about so much, so well done" ~ Tom Russell "The Godfather of Rock", after Danny Mortimer's performance at the O2 ABC Glasgow
