Hope Derek's going to the festival!

[rainbullets]

This has potential! Cant get the song out of my head now! But seriously you need a new video, good effort but really needs a decent video. Call in the proffesionals!

Good Luck!

[paclandia]

We shot the video in one day and edited it on a trial version of sony vegas, but It has had plenty of hits.

If you've got some money to pay some pros to do it better, then please feel fre to make a donation.

[fazer65]

[shunt78]

This bloke has to open the Festival this year - complete with the fibreglass tiger from Sandown Zoo. John Giddings take note...

[hippocan]

Wight supremacy imo

[patickles1]

I am a Isle of wighter!!! and I love this!

[seasides]

i love him !!

[breastoncc]

Saw Derek live on Easter Sunday on Sandown front, this guy's got rhythm, can sing, dance & entertains, a joy to listen to -Simon Cowell better see him soon or someone else will snap him up!

[sprangsprong]

Fair play to Derek.Why on earth don,t the isle of wight tourist bored take this on as a advert for the island all the production done for them.Who cares ?credit crunch world welcome to the isle of wight !

[Tungtvann]

Great video and good song. Respect to him for making this song about the place he now lives and singing good things about it. If you are going to move somewhere different from your birthplace, don't slag it off (like so many people in the UK do) because you can fuck off back if you don't like it here.

[LiteralThinker]

absolutely awesome, 5* keep it up man

[AdamPacitti]

such an inspiration.

[Carbonga666]

Nice work Derek! Gotta love this island!

[divstivs]

Love this - so catchy!

[tiarigby]

well done, how'd you manage to get all the sunny shots? sun only lasts about half hour before the rain comes lol. nice to hear that not everyone hates the island =)

[jennyharrod]

Not had any rain on the Island for about 3 weeks we need some for our garden and to fill the pond (Sandown!)

[lektroluxe]

God, thats the problem with the isle of wight! Negative idiots like that :-) But it's just a place and a very nice one at that. And it's only an hour or so to the capital and major UK cities. Cheers Derek for a great song.

[wight69star]

Great song and video in sunny Isle of wight. 5star!

[MovingTarget2k]

The Isle of Wight and the whole country needs him! I want more and more people to experience and enjoy Derek's work and benefit from his enthusiasm! WONDERFUL STUFF!!!

[LuthersMum]

Love the new song Derek, watching you perform it made me feel like I could be living in the caribbean.

So pleased I came up and collected you from the airport when you first arrived here in England, you have put the Isle of Wight on the map, well done you.

Keep doing what you do so well.
