There Ain’t No Rules in Rock n Roll — The Stories Behind the Music

For more than 45 years, Kenny Denton lived, worked and played his part in the world of recording and rock ’n’ roll.

Along the way, he met some extraordinary people musicians, producers, writers, characters and friends and found himself in situations that could never have been planned, and probably couldn’t have been invented.

There Ain’t No Rules in Rock n Roll is not a history of the music business. It’s something much more personal: a collection of stories about the people Kenny met and the experiences he shared with them.

Some are funny. Some are surprising. Some are touching. And some are simply the kind of stories that only come from a life spent around music.

Many of these stories were originally intended for Kenny’s book, but had to be left out because of the restrictions on the paperback edition. Others were started years ago but never quite finished.

Now they’ve been given a second life.

This podcast brings those stories back from the cutting-room floor — along with stories from the book allowing Kenny to tell them in his own way, and to share the memories, characters and moments that have stayed with him throughout a lifetime in rock ’n’ roll.

Because when you’ve spent 45 years in recording studios, you learn one thing above all else:

There really ain’t no rules in rock n roll

    For over 40/45 years I had the privilege to work with some of the most amazing, talented, crazy and often deluded people in the world of music and movies. I've spent endless hours stationed behind the mixing desk, orchestrating the recording and production processes for a diverse spectrum of artistes.

    From the remarkably gifted to those whose creative spark may have flickered less brightly, I've navigated them all.

    It began in 1969, at Pye Studios in London, where I was fortunate to learn the art of recording from some of the most acclaimed engineers of the time. I subsequently moved on to De Lane Lea Studios, an expansive state-of-the-art facility acclaimed as the world's largest purpose-built studio.

    Both Pye and DLL functioned as my educational institutions for mastering the intricacies of sound recording. Significantly, they also served as platforms for me to immerse myself in the realm of record production and song writing, where I gleaned insights from the luminaries who frequented the recording studio and consistently topped the charts.

    Throughout the years, I've regaled friends and family with countless anecdotes from this captivating journey. As moments turned into memories, the notion to preserve these tales began to crystallize, prompting a profound appreciation for the intricacies of the human mind. It's a marvel that commences its workings long before one's birth and doesn’t stop until the moment one sits down to write a book.

    Coming up with a name for a book is a crucial task and I needed something both attention grabbing and sales worthy. My initial ideas, "Sold Over 5 Million Copies Worldwide" and "The Number One Best Seller," both certainly have a catchy, attention-grabbing quality to them, but they might not accurately reflect the essence of the book's content.

    Compiling an accurate timeline of my narratives became achievable through consulting my diaries. Spanning from 1971 to 2009, I consistently maintained these journals, not out of any historical intent, but merely to log the sessions I worked on and the overtime hours I accrued. Unexpectedly, they have emerged as indispensable references, furnishing precise dates and contextual details to my various escapades. Reflecting on my experience within this captivating industry, I've arrived at a simple realisation:

    You may have been in the business for 5 minutes or for 20 years, you could be very gifted or have no talent at all but to achieve success you must remember one crucial thing

    There Ain't No Rules in Rock ‘n’ Roll.
