After being pointed to this utube channel by Lady Pentangle herself (swoon!🤩) this is the first thing I clicked on. Wotcher indeed!!! I’m in bass heaven at the Temple of Thompson!! Somebody pinch me!🤯
In my youth Danny’s sound and vision on Pentagle Basket of Life was like a treasure for me. To this day his Bass sound is to me unique. I love the story of how he acquired his amazing Bass. I’m very much looking forward to the film. With eternal gratitude! ❤️🎶🙏
So wonderful! Can't wait to see the whole film. As quiet as Danny is onstage, vocally, it seems he's maybe spent a great deal of his off-stage time shouting at football matches?
Love this man and his playing. Was also a huge fan of Bert’s (and then John Martyn) and after a Pentangle gig at Croydon Fairfield Halls my school chum and I were climbing into his beat up car in the multi-storey car park when the band appeared and clambered into a black van in the next space. I shouted appreciation for the concert and Danny stuck his head out of the back and said “We’re off to Ronnie Scott’s now, do you want to join us ?”. We were 16, had saved for the tickets, had little cash on us, weren’t sure if Ronnies would let us in, had no way of contacting our families to tell them we wouldn’t be home until the early hours and had school the next day, so declined. Always regretted that.
I would love to see this. Danny is an absolute legend...despite being a Chelsea fan. I love his playing on the live Tim Buckley album...Dream Letter - Live in London 1968. All his stuff with Pentangle and John Martyn. What a musical giant. Top geezer. Play on Danny.
As a teenage musician, my memories leaving one of Pentangle early gigs was the bass player. The band were brilliant of course and maybe it was because I was a drummer, but the bass player made the biggest impression on me. I found out his name and it’s been popping up all through my life. It would be easier to list who Danny Thompson hasn’t worked with.
I haven't heard any electric bass which created the emotions and colours that a double bass gives. It is Mr. Thompson who unlocks and releases the most emotions and sound colours from the instrument. It is no wonder so many musicians worked with him.
Genius. Pure genius.
About time he got a feature documentary! everyone’s fav double bass player , nice 👍
Love you so much Danny.

Big Daddy! What a great man; beautiful attitude to his calling.
Wotcha Danny, I loved the time we spent together. You are a star, sir. Keep shining. Keith.
A true champion of music
Young John Martyn, OMG! The perfect ending to this video!!
YES mate - about bloody time an' all
