Derek died, very suddenly, Friday, January 30, 2004, on board the Costa Mediterrania. Derek was one of the best ballad singers of the last 20 years, who never really got the recognition that he really deserved. In addition to his solo work, Derek was a one-time member of the Barleycorn and has toured with the Fureys for last several years. There is a nice posting on the Tommy Makem discussion board, by Kevin W. (a man who was on the cruise), and a tribute to Derek on Patsy Watchorn's site. |
