Derrin Neuendorf at Bullfrog this week!

The stunning Australian guitarist Nauendorf appears at the Bullfrog Blues 
Club this Thursday (3rd March) . He was awesome at last years Southsea Folk & 
Roots Festival, and a recent appearance at The R.M.A. Tavern just blew the 
audience away. derrin has a n incredibly strong and unique style- he's definitely up 
thier on the category of one the  "how does he DO that?" type players.

Derrin invested his life in music after picking up a guitar in high school. 
His competence and enthusiasm for the instrument quickly led to him playing in 
many rock and blues bands in his native Australia, and eventually a tour of 
North America by the age of 21. 

Derrin's maturing taste for melody and lyric drew him to explore roots and 
acoustica in a more sophisticated way – culminating in the release of 1999’s 
`Natural`. Bouyed by the acclaim and respect that this CD earned him, Derrin 
focused on what has become his life – real music with a never say die 
determination.

His music has developed since then into a melting pot of roots influences and 
has
become unique, powerful and extremely moving. Throughout his late twenties, 
he
played close to one thousand shows in all parts of the UK and Europe and, 
with a
snowballing momentum, has gained a very strong following of supporters who 
are
hardcore and have been known to drive up to five hours to catch a show. 

He has in recent years also become a main stage act at festivals in Europe, 
UK and also his native Australia. His live show has grown into a powerful 
medium, and he is
consistently a top album seller at festivals in all parts of the globe. His 
flurrying guitar
notes, cutting lyrics and powerful dynamic delivery has won over fans, peers 
and
critics alike.

Don't miss this, he's a very special player.....

Doors open at The Bullfrog Blues Club, on South Parade Per, Southsea, at 8 
p.m.
