"Derrin is one of the few acts, blues or otherwise, nowadays that can send
shivers down my spine through the passion of his live performance, when he is
going for it on stage you get sucked in to his world, and it's a journey well
worth making." - Chris Cordingley

Derrin's journey into the music industry began around 7 years ago when he left
his native Australia to attempt to make a splash in the UK and Europe. He
arrived at Heathrow with one telephone number, ú1200 and a mountain of energy
and enthusiasm. Since arriving on European shores, Derrin has played anywhere
and everywhere throughout the UK, Germany, France, Spain, and Holland as well as
returning to his native homeland for the occasional tour. Derrin has opened for
Van Morrison and countless others and has always been a major hit whichever
stage he graces.
Derrin has recorded 6 albums and sold close to 17000 of them from the back of
his van to an army of devoted fans in too many places to mention. Whilst Derrin
has recorded 6 albums, his latest record "Skin of the Earth" is only actually
his second commercial release. After years of shunning the music industry he
released "The Rattling Wheel" on his own label Rising Records Ltd in 2006 to
much praise and acclaim. Following this first commercial release, Derrin
received attention from Bob Harris (BBC Radio 2) who invited him in for a solo
live session and interview and Paul Jones (BBC Radio 2) also hosted a live
session for Derrin and his band at the famous Maida Vale studios.
The lyrics to DerrinÆs song "Shipwrecked" from the "The Rattling wheel" album
(after being heard on Radio 2) were published by Cambridge University Press in a
text book for English Literature and the album also received a 4 star review in
the Sunday Express alongside Jools Holland, Tom Waits and The Beatles! Glowing
reviews followed in publications such as Blues Matters and Maverick Magazines
and Derrin has gone on to feature in many other music publications. Derrin is
also endorsed by Yamaha Guitars which is a testament to his extremely talented
guitar skills.
His highly anticipated follow up to "The Rattling Wheel" due for release in
October 2008 is called "Skin of the Earth"
This latest album sees Derrin hitting new peaks as a songwriter and artist.
Promotional copies of "Skin of the Earth" were sent out and received the
attention of international Blues and Roots label Ruf Records who are releasing
the new album with a view to pushing Derrin's music to more people around the
globe. This is what Derrin had to say about Skin of the Earth...
"I wanted to make an album of music that supported lyrics that are very stylised
and broad for interpretation. I didn't want to spell out a specific journey in
the songs. I have tried to create a wide spectrum of lyrics that could apply to
the listeners own journey, not just mine. I have also played some electric
guitar for the first time to add a different dimension and give it a slight
southern rock feelö
"Skin of the Earth" will be released by Ruf Records in the UK on October 13th
2008 and Holland on October 16th. More release dates to follow.
