Derrin Nauendorf & Carus Thompson

 

 

 

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.

“Derrin is excellent!” Bob Harris,

BBC Radio 2.“Sheer musical Genius”

Forte Magazine, Australia “Blistering

guitar skills” Yamaha Europe

“Derrin deserves to be a major player

in the music industry” Maverick

Magazine UK

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. "An artist you must discover"

- Sortie Magazine, France. "A great

Australian talent" Beat Mag, Australia.
