With songs about the ups and downs of life and love, and the odd bit of topical content thrown in, Derek is very much a songwriter for today.
Derek played in various bands before more recently finding his niche as a solo singer-songwriter. He has released two new studio solo albums both of which are receiving excellent critical acclaim - "Sometimes" was released in 2015 and "Seasons" in 2016.
A regular performer around Liverpool's acoustic music scene, Derek is also an enthusiastic promoter of local music and co-hosts regular events with Liverpool Acoustic.
