   About Clear Blue Skies
Clear Blue Skies is the name created by Derek on his own and the whole band when/if they play together. A once UK touring band, now Derek runs Acoustic Magic and plays every night he books. He runs this with Melanie who watched and learned how it works alongside Derek. He will be touring Acoustic Magic in time. Playing 150 to 200 shows a year CBSkies have a love for music and people which keeps them going and growing daily, making smiles and memories everywhere. As a band they played Channel Four, E4 and toured the UK. Had tours, Tv, new Label offers but the band broke for many reasons. Held together for a year to finish off the band gigs, the final break was too much. Now on his own Derek pushes hard to reach everyone who wants them with tours, radio, Tv and whatever else is going on. There is a lot to learn and more to teach. Album five and six out soon written by Derek and Hairy. Now Derek is working on his own and with everyone of the Acoustic Magic players... There is always so much more to do and being in it for all the right reasons, Derek could never fail. www.acoustic-magic.com

CBSkies have played with some amazing artists and will be with soon, a few are Sons & Daughters, Half Man Half Biscuit, The Levellers, Steve Daggett, Jawbone, Adam Bomb, Miles Hunt of The Wonderstuff, Eastern Lane, Rod Clements, Mark Morris of The Bluetones, Jim Bob of Carter The Unstoppable Sex Machine, Chris Helme of The Yards and Seahorses, Greg Griffin of Proud Mary, Decoration, Pete Dodds, Fleeing Newyork, Steve Gibbins, Chris T-T, Rose Kemp, Caroline Martin, Dodgy, Roy Wood and more and more.........it is the greatest adventure if you never stop trying. It is all about music, living the nightmare to reach the dream and the dream has now been reached, the nightmare is easier to ignore. Get in touch if you need help or advice, Derek will help anyone. You can book CBSkies from this page as the messages all get daily replies. Never give up, there is always someone who needs you. www.acoustic-magic.com

Hello my lovely northern friend:).
 I was just thinking about you.:)The fire is burning nicely in the boat as we speak, so it's lovely and warm. Gary is very well, he is helping to build a wood chopping machine for us all here, so I can be lazy and not chop wood anymore. I am busy organising gigs for next year and looking forward to our May tour:)
I have booked P. J McGintys for when you come down again in  August, so that is a definite.
Must have a chat soon, before I forget the lingo,
Love to mel and the girls,
Lotsa love
Daisy, Gary, Tig, Socks, Flumpty and my many chickens xxx

Dudette, I have been a-listenin' to your toons on your CD and my pants have been a-swingin'. Mighty fine. I have made a wee CD for you to accost a person or two with, since the first was rather dodge-some. Hopefully that will find it's way to you come the weekend (station road, right?!) Lee tells me you may be heading back this way early next year...so don't go changing.. or I won't recognise you,
