Derek Smalls Fan Club

The Derek Smalls Fan Club was set up to promote the work of Derek Albion Smalls , bass playing ,pipe smoking , leather clad rock god of Spinal Tap. We aim to honour his genius by playing rambling free form bass solos, send us yours and we'll post it here. Derek smalls was born in Nilford ,England in 1947. In 1967 he joined the rock band "Spinal Tap" and since that time he has provided them with thier now legendary "big bottom" end. Smalls played killer 1 in Marco Zamboni's Roma '79. He is also a prize-winning gardener, having developed and patented a totally black rose, the Death by Midnight. He was also part of the Christian rock band Lambsblood (which played the "Monsters of Jesus" festival) and the star of a series of comical Belgian television commercials for the snack food Floop. He has one solo album, Its a Smalls World. After the band's final breakup in 1992, Derek became employed as a "floater" in an elementary school, with such duties as crossing guard and straightening library books.
