Biography
Derek Conlon has had an obsession with music since he was a boy and not only did he become a great pianist and singer, he has also developed his talent to become an award winning songwriter.
The Dubliner has played at many venues throughout the world in front of Royalty, Hollywood A-listers and top musical acts including Tom Jones, Oasis and Elton John. Derek was the resident Act at Windows of the World in London’s Park Lane as well as Resident Act at the Uptown Bar, Jumeriah Beach Hotel in Dubai and the Mansion at Turtle Creek, Dallas.
After being caught up in the unbelievable event that killed ex-KGB member Alexander Litvinenko, where Derek ended up being poisoned from deadly Polonium 210, his career took a new turn. A decade playing music on the high seas onboard some of the worlds luxury liners enabled the pianist to see the world and write music from a different perspective. There never appeared to be a dull moment during the ten-years and the entertainer has many funny and interesting stories about guests, crew, fellow entertainers and the destinations they smile to. After meeting up with old friend and journalist Phil Campion, who covered the Polonium poisonings in London’s West End, the pair decided Derek’s story needed to be told and months of deliberations produced the book ‘Sea’s the Moment’.
