Biography
Early on in his career, his repertoire was likened favourably to John Martin in his One World time but more recently his live performance has developed to involve more of the live looping and experimenting which is his trademark, so now as much steeped in heavy electronica as it is in guitar-based songs.
There is something in the way he performs that shows that he is in his element in front of a close personal audience, starting out with a shy awkwardness and building his confidence as he progresses , almost losing himself in the moment- and there are a great number of moments worth seeing. Experimental electronic music aside he appears to be a down to earth soul, often looking slightly bemused, or embarrassed to see people applauding his great ability. Over the last few years Denis has been all over the UK and supported acts such as Kieran Hebden, Murcof, Coco Rosie, Amp Fiddler, Okkervil River and Jack Rose to name but a few.

Really enjoyed the set at Sacred Trinity last night. Must remember to leave a big tip next time you're pulling me a pint of Lancaster Bomber!

He played in my town 3 days ago and I missed it because at that time, I hadn't even heard about him. Bummer. Hope he'll be back somewhen soon. Amazing bloke.
