Today and into the future

    I have been a music lover all of my life. I like many different styles and genres, but it is rock music that seems to draw me to it the most, whether it's Little Richard or Buddy Holly, Marc Bolan or David Bowie, Saxon or Simple Minds, or more recent bands like Those Damn Crows or Tribe Friday. For that reason and because I have known Jon for quite a long time, I was delighted to join Denigh as their social media manager initially, then later as the band's manager generally.  

   I can't play an instrument except, perhaps, to amuse myself playing the mouth organ or keeping time on a drum, but I do know great music when I hear it - DENIGH has got that by the bucket load, which is why I feel privileged to be part of it now.  
 

    The best thing of being in DENIGH is seeing and hearing the creative process develop into a fully fledged song that can be played and streamed around the world. The second best thing... well, no it's on an equal footing really, it is the friendship and fun we have as a group.  
 

    What do I bring to the band? As I said before, I do the social media. I produce the videos that have accompanied music releases, as well as promotional videos, which I think helps to get DENIGH noticed. The music world is vast and competitive, so no matter how good your songs might be, every little help is needed to gain exposure and to reach new listeners, especially for an independent band.  
 
   I deal with enquiries from fans and the media. Naturally, I discuss band related issues with Jon and Ian. In a way I suppose I'm also a sounding board when new songs are being crafted, so I can offer my thoughts and give feedback too. They even asked me do some spoken, vocal parts on a couple of songs for the 

Back In The Game album, and it fills me with pride to have played a part in that, albeit only small.  
 
   In truth, I like performing. I used to be a regular on stage in local amateur dramatic groups and I have sung in musical plays and revues, but that's a different type of performance to the world of rock and roll. For now, I am more than happy to be creative in social media posts and by making videos, but if I get the chance to add some backing vocals here and there, then I am up for that too.
