Derek you were the kindest of men, who radiated warmth and humanity outwards to everyone who had the absolute privilege to know you. Your talents were so extensive and yet you were always so humble. Your clever wit and informed insights always made it a pleasure to hang out. Your legacy lives on in the many lives you have touched in so many positive ways. All our love goes to Aoibhe, Cole and Cora, Derek's parents and Denise and all the wider family and his countless friends who will miss him dearly
. What a wonderful man. Rest in peace, Derek. With love, Clodagh, Jules, Rory and Lois xxxx
It’s just so sad. Can’t even imagine how family and close friends are feeling right now. Myself and Anne enjoyed so much the lockdown shows Derek did with Jack. He was always there. RIP Derek.

Rest in Peace thanks for the Music.
your gigs with Jack especially in lockdown were a bright light at a very difficult time
