Derrin Nauerndorf born and raised in Australia, arrived in the UK determined to make his mark in the world of music. Playing gigs up, down and all around Europe has meant that he has built a great following and established a big circuit.

He starts this month off in north Europe, has put together a 2 week tour in Spain then is off to France. This will be the third time he has played at Bar Allioli. His guitar work and songs made a big impression on my local customers and everyone is looking forward to his return on November 12th. Derrin’s influences are Dylan, Tom Waits, Richard Thomson and a touch of John Martyn. He performs solo and his guitar playing is stunning.

After more than thousand gigs (a lot of them listed on his website), Derrin finds himself with fans not only in England, but Scotland, Holland, Denmark, Sweden, Germany, France and his native Australia too. He has since managed to sell over 12,000 albums from the back of that van, and become a bit of a hit on the festival circuit too.

He’s supported Van Morrison and played to dignitaries and politicians in grand Parisian castles right down to WW2 bunkers in Germany and two-men-and-a dog type shows in Denmark – all without the help/ hindrance of a record label, manager, agent or press officer. Derrin is a determined sort and this independence has meant that he can turn up anywhere and get a show out of it. Bar Allioli may not be the biggest gig in the world but it is well worth a visit for a great gig.

The Bar is situated in Estacion Jimera de Libar on the Algeciras Granada line. By road 20 minutes south of Ronda.
