Derek King
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.
Having been a musical performer for most of his adult life,
Derek's musical journey began at the tender age of 16 when
he played bass guitar in a post punk "new-wave" band. The
band went on (without him!) to become the "the Vapors" and
enjoyed a respectable amount of success and a couple of top
ten hits. Having the wrong hairstyle for the Vapors meant
that Derek went in his own musical direction.
Derek has played in various bands before more recently
finding his niche as a solo singer-songwriter. His song
"Perfect Days" was awarded a "Commended Entry" certificate
in the 2012 UK Songwriting Contest and in 2013 and 2014 his
entries "Beautiful in Blue" and "To Be a Boy" were both
finalists in the prestigious Liverpool Acoustic Songwriting
Challenge.
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.
Seasons bring us constant change, Dry spells must give way
to sweet refreshing rain, The song doesn't always have to
stay the same....
Seasons is a collection of timeless songs, taking the
listener through a series of changing moods and emotions,
just as the seasons bring us constant change through the
year.
