A bit of background
My name is Kenny Denton.
In 1969. I started my career at the legendary Pye Recording Studios in London.
This gave me the chance to learn the skills of recording from some of the finest engineers of the time.
This also allowed me to join the incredible adventures of the Pye mobile recording unit, working on amazing gigs like the 1970 I O W festival, recording bands such as The Who Jimi Hendrix, The Doors in fact the greatest artist of the time.
In 1971, I joined the newly built studios, De Lane Lea studios in Wembley.
The largest purpose built complex in the World, catering for every aspect of the recording industry.
Both Pye and DLL, were universities to learn sound recording, but they also gave me the opportunity to study the art of producing records and learning the craft of song writing from the masters who occupied the charts and the studios on a daily basis.
The list of musicians, movie stars and characters that crossed the threshold of this building is quite incredible, it would be easier to name an artist that hadn’t recorded there.
In 1985 I left to go freelance and worked in Europe and the USA.
By 1993 I bought and ran my own studio in Chiswick, London called KD’s, where I remained until 2009 when I sold the studio to semi-retire.
For this blog I decided to access some of my experiences from my diaries which I kept from 1969 until 2009.
These journals weren’t recorded for any historical reason, but to make sure I knew what session I was working on and when.
Luckily for me I wrote notes from these wonderful sessions.
They turned out to be a great reference to help add dates to my adventures which I would now like to share with you here
I hope you enjoy reading them.
