DEREK BRIMSTONE REVIEW<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

\nThis review was written for the original HOBO Issue two which wasn’t published unfortunately \u2013 see editorial section.<\/p>\n

\nFollowers of  Derek Brimstone<\/b> who recently played at the Pilot<\/i> (Coventry pub) with Colin Scott,<\/b> will be,<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

might be, or might not be, delighted to hear that he\u2019s has a new LP out. Mostly recorded Live in Sunderland Polytechnic and Pirton Herts, thus capturing not only his incredible playing but his hilarious stage patter, into which his songs are woven.<\/p>\n

Songs included are:- We Had a Very Good Time (Brimstone) and Piss Off (Copyright Control \u2013 Mike <\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n

Heron. \/ When the Music Starts to Play \/ Mrs Fisher (A Melancholy yet funny half-poem \/ half song by Derek and a John Martyn song.<\/p>\n

By the time this is printed Derek should be on the way to being a Grand dad – so good luck to Steve and Lyndie Brimstone (friends of mine).<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

Also \u2013 for folk guitarists may not know that Derek has a Clawpicking Guitar tutor out, in easy to follow tablature. I have a copy myself and recommend it! This is published by Southern Music and cost 40p (in 1973 that is!!, you will have to order it but it\u2019s a good book. Well we\u2019ll be saying \u201cKeep on smiling cos \u2018that do make it good\u2019.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n
\nDerek’s Auto biography  Till I Was Twenty<\/b><\/div>\n
\n<\/a>
\n“A tale of a harsh childhood and a rebellious youth, told by a master storyteller with wit and style. Anyone who has seen Derek’s stage performance will recognise the humour that lights up his journey through those turbulent years.”<\/i><\/p>\n

Tony Capstick.<\/p>\n
