Derrin Nauendorf



Derrin Nauendorf left his native Australia and arrived on UK shores several years ago with nothing but a batch of self written songs, his guitar and a mountain of energy and enthusiasm. After 4 albums and years of surviving on the live circuit and ignoring the music industry, Derrin commercially released the album “The Rattling Wheel” under his own label, to great critical acclaim. He was invited to perform live sessions for both Bob Harris and Paul Jones on BBC Radio 2 and the album received rave reviews from various industry press. The lyrics from the song “Shipwrecked" were even published in a text book for Cambridge University in 2006 as a result of it being heard on National radio.



His second commercial release "Skin of the Earth" also received great reviews including a 4 star review in the Sunday Express, alongside Jools Holland, Tom Waits and The Beatles!  And generated more airplay on Radio 2 in the UK.  Glowing reviews followed in publications such as Blues Matters and Maverick Magazines and Derrin has gone on to feature in many other music publications. Derrin is also endorsed by Yamaha Guitars which is a testament to his extremely talented guitar skills.



Derrin has opened for Van Morrison, John Butler and countless others and has always been a major hit whichever stage he graces.

Carus Thompson

Originally coming to prominence as part of the explosion of the 'Roots' scene, Australian singer-songwriter Carus Thompson is much more than 'just another Roots act' and his last album, the lauded 'Creature Of Habit' proved that - receiving rave reviews well as an A.I.R award nomination in his home country ("4 stars" said The Irish World, London).

After courting Europe with great success over the past seven years Carus has finally surrendered to the great opportunities beckoning here and made the big move - basing himself in France for 2010 & 2011.  Carus has built a great following for himself in Europe following tours opening for good friend Seth Lakeman, as well as Jack Johnson, The Waifs, John Butler, Xavier Rudd & Pete Murray. His shows are always filled with passion and energy and whilst he's a singer-songwriter he still makes sure that he gets the room moving, always raising a great vibe.
