In Episode 86 Derek chats with one of Scotland's most exciting young musicians Connor Fyfe.
Derek first met Connor when he gave him his first gig 4 years ago when the Bellshill musician was only 11 years old.
Since then he released his debut album at just 13 and has played shows all over the country. The Lanarkshire singer is also the youngest to ever sell out Glasgow's famous King Tut's – a feat accomplished in just 24 hours – and will be the youngest performer to have played TRNSMT Festival when he takes to the stage in July this year.
Connor talks about touring the country at such a young age, going from playing on stage on his own to having a backing band, supporting acts like Jamie Webster and so much more.
