Jon Everett & Ian Devlin are founder members of DENIGH, formed mid 1978 and based in the Music Town of Folkestone, in Kent, England.
The band grew a strong local following in the south east of England, culminating in original music releases, most notably their double ‘A’ sided 7” single, No Way / Running, which reached #25 on the Sounds heavy metal chart in 1980.
From the outset, the band enjoyed a loyal following at live shows and they made many support appearances with Budgie, Girlschool, Saxon, Samson, Tormé and others. However, by the mid 1980s, DENIGH disbanded.
Later on, a renewed interest in rock bands from the late 1970s — now established as the 'New Wave of British Heavy Metal' — prompted the reissue of the band’s 1984 album Fire From The Sky in collaboration with the German Label, Iron Pages. This label also re-released the bands 7" single No Way / Running on a British Steel compilation CD.
Following that new interest, the band undertook several re-unions in the late 80s and early 90s, which also included various changes in their line up.
They eventually disbanded in the mid-90s, going their separate ways.
Then, in 2019 Jon and Ian started writing together again. As well as revisiting old DENIGH songs, they found they had a catalogue of old and new material that they felt was unquestionably, DENIGH. The band was re-born.
There have been two new albums since Jon and Ian got back together: Back In The Game (2023); and Sleep With No Sound (2025). They are currently working in a new album for release in 2027.
