DJ Derek

17 Sep

A wicked 2 part documentary on the legendary DJ Derek. Soul, Ska, Reggae, National Express and Wetherspoons its all in there…

Derek was born & raised in Bristol, & during the late 50’s & early 60’s fell in love with the music & culture of the West Indian immigrants moving to Britain. He picked up the lingo by hanging around in barber shops & listening, & picked up the groove by buying & selling reggae records around the country.

Now in his late 60’s Derek tours the country armed only with a backpack full of killer tunes, his bus pass & an unquenchable thirst for real ale.
