S J Denney Releases “Witch's Brew”

On Christmas Day 2022, I had some Christmas songs on the stereo and went to get ready for the big day, leaving the music playing downstairs. When 'Lonely This Christmas' by Mud came on, I heard the bassline through the floorboards. However, as I was in another room, I heard it quite differently. That moment inspired me to write the double bass line for this track, which everything else fits around. The song was written by the time I'd finished getting ready.

I'm really happy with the recording. I scored every part of the song, which features a wide range of instruments, including the tárogató and the piccolo trumpet.

S J Denney is a singer-songwriter based in Essex, United Kingdom. He fell in love with music from an early age, after stumbling across vinyl copies of The Beatles’ White Album and Neil Young’s Harvest. S J was originally a choir boy and performed in a number of venues across his local county. His next stepping-stone was learning to play the clarinet. Whilst music theory gave him a solid foundation, Denney soon decided to focus his efforts on self-learning the acoustic guitar and writing songs.

S J has performed in various bands, duos and now as a solo artist. These endeavours have seen him gig across the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland.
