About Me

Derek Creigan was a great singer/songwriter, and it's so sad that he will now never achieve his dream of having a hit record in the charts....................He will always be in our thoughts and in our hearts. I for one will never let his music be forgotten, and will keep this webpage going out to as many people as possible to allow them to hear Derek's distinctive voice, and his great songs...................................................Bob from Salt Lake City, USA and Modern Mark from San Jose,California,USA, are the only DJ's who are still to this day playing Cartoone songs on their own particular radio shows every week. Bob quotes "Penny For The Sun" as one of his alltime favourite songs. I'm sure Derek would have loved to have heard him say that...................................There are 64 million people on myspace, if only 10 million listen to one of Derek's and Cartoone's songs I think Derek would be a very happy man?...........Rest in Peace Derek..........................Charlie
