Though not featured in his top albums, Elvis Presley was Derek’s original musical inspiration. There’s a photograph somewhere of a pelvic four year old Deek brandishing a tennis racket guitar and wearing a sneer to prove it.
Derek enjoys the feeling of being engulfed in water and a soft towel to dry off with.
If you were to suggest placing Robbie Williams, the lighthouse family, Keanu reeves and James blunt in a rocket ship then launching it into the sun, Derek would not object.
