Since then he has led a varied musical life – performing concertos at the Royal Concert Hall, playing worldwide on cruises and has appeared on various TV specials including winning New Faces in 1987 when he was even liked by the infamous Nina Myscow! Derek is much in demand as a pianist throughout Scotland, playing at many of the countries top hotels including Turnberry, Skibo Castle, the Sheraton and Dunkeld House and is currently a resident pianist at the prestigous Gleneagles Hotel

Derek's repertoire includes light and popular classical music, songs from the shows, music from all eras and genres, such as Scott Joplin, Gershwin, Cole Porter, Jerome Kern, Elton John, Billy Joel and modern hits.

With his experience as a church organist Derek can play music to suit all tastes – from fully traditional to a more alternative approach. He can create an authentic church organ sound on keyboards to provide a traditional touch in any setting

When the real thing isn’t available Derek can provide an elegant look with a full-sized electronic piano in a small grand piano style casing. A touch of class anywhere!
