Derane Obika

For a number of years I became part of a scene created by singer-songwriter Derane Obika, which he calls Living Sounds. I met many great musicians through this scene, and Derane is a tireless promoter of these events and has done much to create a scene where musicians gather to present their work. He's a lovely man and I'm proud to have been a part of this scene. Nowadays these events happen in Whetstone, which tends to be a little far for me to go, but the scene carries on and I enjoyed being part of it.
