Today and into the future
First, a few words from Carl
My management role is to support and promote the band, and I need your help, let me explain why.
DENIGH is an independent band with its own record label, Drawnhorse. This gives us freedom to write songs that matter to us and to make music in our own, unique style. It also means that we are totally self-funded: everything we do, we pay for ourselves.
I believe in the band and I love the band’s music. However, I have a budget of... zero.
Our CDs 'Back In The Game' and 'Sleep With No Sound' are made in the UK to a very high standard. That's because we are proud to support British jobs and because we want our listeners to have the best possible audio quality when they play our music. We also believe these CDs give our listeners the best opportunity to hear the songs the way we intended them to be heard.
The artwork on the covers and inserts is rather special too, being created in-house by Jon.
We chose a low price point for our CDs because we aren't greedy, and we also realise that we are up against stiff competition in the music world. Consequently, we don't make money from CD sales. Our pricing strategy is to, at least, break even then hopefully make a small profit to reinvest and keep making music. Of course, we can and do earn royalties from music streaming, but the amounts are very small.
Here is how you can help:
Follow us on social media
Subscribe to us on YouTube
Follow us on your preferred music streaming platform
Don't just leave it at that! If you enjoy what we do, then give us a thumbs up, leave a comment, share it with your mates, and add our songs to your playlists. This kind of engagement is not only a great way to give us feedback but, more importantly, it helps us to please those mighty, corporate algorithms that determine whose music gets recommended to new listeners.
Do this for us, then we stand a chance of keeping DENIGH active for a long time to come.

The here and now
We look back with pride on our past achievements and now look to the future as our music is evolving.
The response has been fantastic, not only in the UK but globally too and its great to know that along with our original followers, DENIGH music is attracting a new audience.

Drawn Horse Records
DENIGH's Record Label - Since 2006
We have our own record label, enabling complete control of our music, production and distribution.
DHR was pleased to give George at ONR records access to archive recordings, thereby enabling their release in 2023 of the DENIGH self titled CD.
DHR also gave licence to Chris Larson, exhibit designer and curator at the White Deer Land museum in Texas, to use our song 'Red River War' with the 150th anniversary display of the battles.
A real honour for us, thanks Chris.
What gear is DENIGH using
Jon's headless basses were hand built by a local luthier around 1990. They are fitted with Seymour Duncan active pickups.
He also uses a Steinberger 5 string bass with Aguilar active pickups & circuitry.
And for his vocals, Aston Origin & Shure microphones into a Yamaha 16 channel Digital Audio Workstation for recording.
Ian uses Telecaster, Stratocaster and Les Paul electric guitars plus Taylor classical acoustics.
Ian's Keyboards / sequencers are Yamaha & Korg.
He uses Audio Technica microphones, recording onto two linked Yamaha 16 channel Digital Audio Workstations.
Pete has a customised Alesis kit with a 'Strike Pro' processor and kick drum.
He has a Jobecky Snare plus Lemon Hi-Hats and Lemon ride cymbal.
It is equipped with an Alesis Strike Multipad, designed for live and studio use.
What on earth are they doing ..?
The cause of Carls sleepless nights !
The recent release of Sleep With No Sound doesn't mean we're relaxing!
We are now working on the next DENIGH releases, so expect to hear a new single or two, plus a new album.
It's all a bit 'hush, hush' of course, but we know you're gonna love it!
As usual Ian's doing all the work and Jon's drinking lots of tea.
Welcome: Pete Yarwood
Pete is a long-time buddy of Jon & Ian who has taken his place at the drums.
Initial work is with promo's for Sleep With No Sound, and then onto new material.
Yo Pete!
