Danny (Superstar) – written & performed by Chris Buckley

I had been working on some new songs, when I started playing this, an unrecorded song from my student days waiting for its moment. The recent X-Factor run inspired me to revisit it. I changed a few words and added a new middle bit, and began working on this home-made concoction. It tells the story of Danny, a would-be superstar who finds fame and fortune through a Talent Show and gets sucked into the machine…

A solo project, it came together quite quickly once I’d got into the recording process: drums, bass, 2 rhythm guitars, lead guitar, some keyboard and vocals.

For speed, it’s a simple two-shot video, with some instrument cutaways (partly to hide the occasional blurring from the auto-focus on the head shots as I moved to the beat). For the sake of continuity I’ve left it as it is. It adds to the charm!
