About Me

Clear Blue Skies are a UK touring band from the North East. They play rock music with a hint of country and a twist of grunge. Learning as they go, things like, coffee is 40p cheaper up North when on tour and much more. The band work harder than ever to reach all the people calling for them around the country. They are now run and driven by the best, themselves.
Playing with many bands, known and unknown. Playing with heroes, meeting inspirational people all the time. Played channel four, E4 and radio. It is all about music, living the nightmare to reach the dream and the dream has now been reached, the nightmare is easier to ignore. Get in touch if you need help or advice, Derek will help anyone. You can book CBSkies from this page as the messages all get daily replies. Never give up, there is always someone who needs you.
CLEAR BLUE SKIES ARE ALL ABOUT PEOPLE, MUSIC, HEART, INSPIRATION..
