Who is Derek Pascoe?

Derek Pascoe was the vocalist and saxophonist in Flintlock. He appeared in one episode of the children's science fiction programme The Tomorrow People, "The Heart of Sogguth" in which the band's music was to revive an ancient demon. The Australian Music Centre describes Derek Pascoe as “among the leading free improvisers in Adelaide, whose rigorous approach to musical self-discipline gives a profound assurance to his rare extended solo public performances.” He is a member of the Jazz Performance academic staff of the Elder Conservatorium of Music and plays sax in the spoken word/ impro outfit Max-Mo.

He is the father of writer, stand-up comedian and actress Sara Pascoe.
