11th December 2024 at Folkestone Rainbow Centre
A very proud day, today!
Ian, Jon and Carl visited the Folkestone Rainbow Centre and presented a cheque in the sum of £340.62 - DENIGH's 1st donation to the charity.
The money was raised through the sale of the re-issued albums Fire From The Sky and (the self-titled) DENIGH, both on CD. Jon and Ian are with Mary Stredwick, chief executive, in this picture.
So, a very big THANK YOU to those of you who have already bought one or both of the CDs - without your purchases, this would not be possible.
And it doesn't stop here. We still have some stock of both CD's for sale, the profits from which will continue to support the incredible work they do for the homeless and for people in need.

November 2024 - A Special Announcement
1st Donation to The Rainbow Centre - soon!
We will be presenting a cheque to the Folkestone Rainbow Centre next month. The donation is from the proceeds on the sale of the two ONR label re-issues of our CD albums: the self-titled DENIGH, and Fire From The Sky.
Anyone wanting to buy either of these CDs, which include bonus tracks and come with booklets containing lyrics and band photos, please visit our eBay shop ‘drawnhorse’ or see one of us in person.
This is ongoing, we still have disks for sale and will continue donating until they are all gone.
We are not taking any profit ourselves - all of the proceeds are being donated to this worthy cause.
See the Folkestone Rainbow Centre page on Facebook, there may be other ways you can help the charity to help those in need.
October 2024 - New Single Release For Halloween
Who is Mad Jack?
Jack is a composite of the many demons that we might encounter in a lifetime, both real and imagined.
He consumes the essence of humanity, leaving only hate and corruption in his wake.
Jack is the Master of evil works and deeds.
Mad Jack is out of the box ..
September 2024 - Fire From The Sky - 40th Anniversary
Special Edition Fire From The Sky CD
In 1984, DENIGH released a full length cassette tape album, Fire From The Sky.
To honour this, the band have agreed the release of a 40th Anniversary CD Edition, in collaboration with ONR (Obscure NWoBHM Releases).
Worldwide release is due September 2024, with a limited production of only 500 copies, and will include a booklet with info, photos & lyrics.
The line up for this album was as follows:
Phil Allchin - Lead Guitar
Martyn 'Arry' Harris - Guitar
Jon Everett - Lead Vocal & Bass
John Regan - Drums
As with our previous ONR release - DENIGH S/T - the band will have some copies available for sale directly from us, or via our eBay shop.
We welcome your support, as all profit from our sales will be donated to a local Folkestone charity, The Rainbow Centre, that supports families and individuals experiencing hardship.
August 2024 - Folkestone's Rock'nRoll Wall of Fame
And, here it is
For decades, Folkestone has been 'The Music Town' of Kent, and it has long been the ambition of 'the dedicated few' to provide permanent and deserved recognition for many of the towns musicians and bands.
Great turn out, the weather was kind, too
That ambition was achieved at 10am on Saturday 10th August 2024 when 'Phase One' of Folkestone's Rock & Roll Wall of Fame was unveiled, featuring 50 bands / 50 bricks.
Jon & Ian at The Wall
How pleased do we look?
Jon & Ian with Joe
Our thanks go especially to Joe Ranger,
the 'Main Mover' in creating Folkestone's
Rock & Roll Wall of Fame.
Marvellous!
What a great fella, utterly motivated.
Respect, Joe!
All smiles now, but Carl will have us back to work soon - no worries!
The location of “The Wall” is on The Leas, close to the memorial arch.
It is a “living wall” that will continue to grow, and already, funding has been secured for 'Phase Two' of the project.
DENIGH are proud to have been included in the project start up. Current and former members of the band enjoyed the well attended unveiling ceremony, and we caught up with old friends, too!
Here we are
So, who have we got here ?
Well, there's Jon & Ian
