SEPTEMBER 2008 Someone sent this photo....it's a shot taken minutes before I chucked Roy Harper (with cravat) into the Norwegian fiord from a boat. He was going on about how he was a better song writer than Dylan and how great he was in bed and I just thought, "He's gotta go in", so I picked him up and dumped him..there was a furious splashing about and he shouted "I can't swim." I shouted "Good!" Finn Kalvik.... standing next to me was the first contestant to get NO POINTS at the Eurovision Song Contest and became very famous, he jumped in and saved him. Twenty five years later Harper and I bumped into each other back-stage. He said "You tried to drown me man." I replied "If there was a bath handy I'd do it now." Whoppers Danny

An Interview with Danny by presenter Andrew Ford. Produced by Penny Lomax and Maureen Cooney for ABC News Australia February 24th 2007 Andrew Ford said "We begin today's show with somebody I've wanted to talk to for the last 12 years that I've been presenting this program, and that's Danny Thompson, the great bass player who's worked with everybody."

MAY 2007 Danny why did you find it necessary to put up the 'Official Danny Thompson Website'? After some years of hestitation and dodging the 'net business'.. I have taken the advice of my peers and decided to become involved directly with anyone interested with my music activities past, present and future. I have noticed that there have been sites with my name on which had stuff that I disagreed with. One of them stated that I was the best acoustic bass player the world had ever known, when I phoned to complain I was told "I have written it, I believe it, and I am not removing it". It seemed to me a very dodgy attitude, people out there could actually assume I believed that statement myself, what's even dodgier is they could write I was a wife-beater or just about anything good or bad. Well I am not the greatest bass player the world has ever known, but I have been involved in music making with some wonderful people, I know I can play otherwise I would have become a pro boxer! Danny where can people contact you for any questions? I have a 'Contact Danny' tab on this website where you will see I have a Myspace site, Danny's My Space mainly to have a place where artists/bands can be heard and possibly get a gig or even a deal.. I do think it's a good idea. There is also a P.O. Box number and of course my 'damager', Paul Crockford, Dannys Management I am new to this but promise I won't use the C.U.2 morrow language...Whoppers for now....
