Dennis Bryon

Dennis Bryon (born 14 April 1949) is a Welsh rock drummer from Cardiff, best known for his work with the Bee Gees from 1974 to 1979.

Amen Corner
His first band was the Blue Jets where fellow band member Rob Parsons subsequently had a very different career. Dennis rapidly moved on to work with more accomplished musicians and his career really started out as a young adult, aged 17, in 1966, when he co-formed the band Amen Corner. They are best known for their hits "Bend Me, Shape Me", "High in the Sky" and the chart-topper "(If Paradise Is) Half as Nice". Bryon remained in the band until its split in 1969. Although the group had already split up, they also appeared as themselves in the 1969 horror film, Scream and Scream Again, singing the film's eponymous theme song.

Bee Gees
Bryon played with the Bee Gees from 1974 to 1979, and played instruments on the 1977 soundtrack Saturday Night Fever as a member of the Bee Gees, as well as performing on their studio albums; Mr. Natural (1974), Main Course (1975), Children of the World (1976), and Spirits Having Flown (1979). Bryon got the position as Bee Gee's drummer after being informed by a friend: "In 1972 after Amen Corner broke up I was living in an apartment in London. In an apartment in the same building lived a guitar player named Alan Kendal. Alan played with the Bee Gees and one day came up to my apartment and told me the boys were looking for a drummer, and was I interested. I was, and Alan took me to Barry Gibb's house for my audition. That's when I met Barry, Robin and Maurice Gibb."

Dennis co-produced Robin Gibb's 1983 album, How Old Are You?

Recent works
Bryon released an autobiography about his years with the Bee Gees on 11 August 2015, called You Should Be Dancing: My Life with the Bee Gees.

Dennis now tours with 'The Italian Bee Gees' along with fellow former Bee Gees' backing band musician Blue Weaver and former member of The Bee Gees Vince Melouney.

Personal life
Bryon currently lives in Nashville, Tennessee. His wife, Jenny, died from breast cancer in 2010.
