Derek has more than 20 years experience in the music industry, which includes a live radio performance from the National Concert Hall Dublin and three TV appearances, (R.T.E. & TV 3).
From an early age Derek was singing, and having learned to play guitar progressed to fronting bands, duos and trios.
He is musical director of The Baldoyle Folk Group who can be heard in St. Lawrence O’Tooles’ Church, Seagrange, Baldoyle each Sunday (except July & August) at 12.30pm mass.
Never an impersonator of any of the greats, Derek will in his own inimitable style have young and old alike singing along to the finger-clicking foot-tapping sounds of Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Michael Buble, Matt Munro, Louis Armstrong, Nat King Cole, Paul Anka and many more besides.
Derek stages a bi-annual concert for the homeless in Dublin. Uniquely this concert takes place in a church. Stars that have previously appeared on stage/altar include Marty Whelan, Aonghus McAnally, Sean Dunphy, Charlie McGettigan, Tony Kenny and more. Keep looking in the Latest News section for next years concert which will be held in the autumn of 2010.
