Jon & Ian are founder members of the Rock Band, DENIGH, formed mid 1978 and based in the Music Town of Folkestone, on the Southern coast of Kent, England.
Earlier experience with the local music scene had instilled in them a desire to write at least some of their own songs, in their own style, using the skills they had developed.
Ian, with his strong guitar and keyboard ability, brought the perfect tools for compositional works and arrangements.
Jon, at this stage, hadn't yet discovered the powerful and distinctive voice that he developed, but was a solid bassist and already a competent backing vocalist.
Their early difficulties in finding a singer for the band, leading to Jon stepping up as lead vocalist, would ultimately define a key element of the bands sound. And DENIGH was born.
A section of this site is dedicated to the history of DENIGH.
Headed 'A Blast In The Past!', there are some great memories, images and tales to enjoy.
However, as often happens, all band members went their own ways during the 1980's, until 2019 when Ian & Jon collaborated on a rearrangement of an early DENIGH song, Stagefright.
The result was encouraging and inspired a second studio session, this time with a new song, Blacksheep. And so it continued, and with each new song the delivery and sound evolved, to create the bands first new album, Back in the Game.
But before this release, they realised that music publishing, distribution and consumption had changed dramatically – they have the material, but how to get it out there?
Then luck intervened when Carl Penfold offered to get DENIGH on its feet in the Digital, Social Media & Streaming music world.
Carl is now full time Manager of the band, handling all those 'too difficult to do' things, and helping DENIGH reach a global audience.
But its not all hard work, as occasionally he is invited into the studio to add some important additions to the songs!
Now working hard on their next album – Sleep With No Sound - Ian and Jon's song writing is built on trust in each other and belief in the final product.
