Mr Derry on The Road to V

After a fantastic 2005 Mr Derry from Staffordshire are having an amazing 2006.

The band have wowed audiences at established venues such as The Garage, The Clapham Grand, Manchester Club Academy and Birmingham Bar Academy. Not to mention support slots with Soledad Brothers and Jackson Analogue at Birmingham and Camden Barfly's respectively.

The bands momentum has seen such hype turn into media exposure in the form of BBC Radio WM and Wolverhampton's Beacon Radio plus a host of the midlands newspapers.

And now the band have been shortlisted from 2000 bands as finalists in the Road To V competition. Now the band must take part in a series of gigs at Islington and Liverpool Carling Academies which is being documented for channel 4 and will be aired in June.

Full steam ahead!
