Den
co-founded the affectionately remembered early 80s 'power pop'
tunesmiths The Pencils, and wrote their three singles
(released on Next Records 1982/83).
Den, along
with another 'ex-Pencil' Tony Skeggs, then formed The
Green in 1988 where they teamed up with the rhythm section
of 80s rockers Hard Rain, drummer Steve Phypers
(see separate biography) and bassist Simon Laffy.
With a
shared love of great 60s songs and dynamic performance Den, Tony and
Steve founded The Overtures
in 1990.
In 1994
Den was commissioned to write two songs for Merlin's Beatles video
('Behind The Beat', 'In Spite Of All The Danger') and this year
has a song featured in the Oscar nominated short film Killing
Joe (Joy Films).
He is
currently writing songs for a new Overtures album.
