Daniel David Danny Kirwan is a British musician whose greatest success came with his role as guitarist, singer and songwriter with the blues rock band Fleetwood Mac between 1968 and 1972.

Kirwan was born in Brixton, South London, and his guitar skills started attracting attention at an early age. He was still onlywhen he came to the attention of established British blues band Fleetwood Mac, while he was playing in London with his first band Boilerhouse, with Trevor Stevens on bass guitar and Dave Terrey on drums. He persuaded Macs producer Mike Vernon to go and watch Boilerhouse rehearse , and Vernon then informed Fleetwood Mac founder Peter Green of his discovery. Green was impressed and Boilerhouse began playing support slots for Fleetwood Mac at London venues like John Gees Marquee Club in Wardour Street, allowing Kirwan and Green to jam together and get to know each other.
