   About Derek MacLennan


A' Chàirdean - Tha mi a' fuireach air a' Chomraich, sgìre bhrèagh air cost' an Iar na h-Alba. 'Se ceòladair a th'annam agus mar sin tha mi air a bhith a' cluich còrr is deich air fhichead bliadhna. A bharrachd air sin chan eil mòran a tha freagarrach ri sgrìobhadh an seo. Eisd ma tha - an dòchas gu bheil e a' còrdadh riubh. Airson tuilleadh fiosrachaidh feuch an làrach-linn agam fhèin. Sin agad e thaobh a chlì. Tiors is beannachd leibh.

I have been writing and playing music for quite a few years now. I am a guitar player with a particular passion for rhythm and it is from the rhythm that this music comes. Also, I support my culture because I believe it is important.

The irrepressible '10 out of Illusion' is available on CD from scottishquality.com and as an mp3 album from scotloads.co.uk or contact me directly here or through my website opposite.

Although this is a band page I haven't resorted to auto-adders yet, so in keeping with the crofting lifestyle my friends requests are made by hand. Pleased to meet you, one and all.

So, from a highland croft at the end (or beginning) of the road - Get free, be individual - but don' loose the groove.
