Culture Cafe July - Derek Eynon

Culture Cafe presents

Derek Eynon

Derek Eynon, born in Birmingham 1957, took up guitar and bass whilst still a member of The Solihull Youth Choir. He formed his first band “Stuka” who debuted to the public, in Solihull, on Jubilee day  in 1977,  and Derek Eynon has rarely stopped gigging since. Derek was and is bass player with “Birmingham’s Premier Folk Rock Act” Red Shoes from 1983 to 1989, 1994-1996, 2000-2001 and then from 2019 to the present. Aside from Red Shoes and a roster of other bands, Derek has been playing  hundreds of solo gigs since 2005, appearing at over fifty different venues in the Midlands: pubs, clubs, concert halls and restaurants. With a set which boasts “everything from Abba to ZZ Top” (Sutton Coldfield Advertiser) he has been described by The Artrix Bromsgrove as having “a voice like velvet and diamonds”.
