The Denabys

About

The Band

The Denabys are from Denaby near Doncaster in South Yorkshire, formed in 2022 and fronted by Niall Ogley (vocals/guitar). Official and press sources place them within the UK indie-rock lane, with added punk and grunge bite.

Their momentum has been built through grassroots live work, regional festival appearances, and a steady run of singles. They've had support from BBC Introducing and Radio X, with reviews highlighting the band's energetic live reputation, relatable writing, and increasingly confident recorded output.

Notable highlights include support slots with The Chase, Skylights, The Reytons and The Sherlocks, a sold-out Leadmill show in Sheffield in 2024, and a stand-out fill-the-tent showing at Tramlines 2025.
