DERRIN NAUENDORF, the sensational young Australian roots/blues guitarist and singer is back in action following the recent tragic death of his sister. Derrin flew home to be with his family the day after a stunning appearance at the Larmer Tree Festival with drummer David Downing. You can welcome him back at the Platform Tavern in Southampton on Wednesday August 14, and the gig with a full band at The Brook has been rearranged for Wednesday September 25. NOSTALGIA rules down in Weymouth for the weekend of August 30 to September 2 when Weymouth Rock & Pop Festival is staged down at the seaside Pavilion. 60s sounds are revived by Jet Harris, John Leyton, Mike Berry and Jess Conrad, and there's a special guest from America, Linda Gail Lewis sister of Jerry Lee Lewis. Ring 01305 783225 for more details. FANS of 'the voice of Dr Hook" will be glad to hear that Dennis Locorriere is touring the UK in the autumn. The golden-voiced interpreter of so many great Shel Silverstein songs will be playing Salisbury City Hall on Friday and October 11 and Fareham's Ferneham Hall on Saturday November 30, plus more dates yet to be announced. ULTRA-TALENTED Southampton-based folk band Broderick have completed their second album "Cortanze Castle" which is going to be launched at The Borderline in London on October 31. A tour will follow - watch this space for details. TALKING HEADS is very much back in business now that new owners Simon and Moira are in charge. Anyone who hasn't been to the friendly Portswood Road venue for some time will notice a few changes, none of which has done anything to spoil the atmosphere of a unique location. Quite the opposite, there has been some tasteful redecoration, a new layout is far more practical, and even the notorious toilets have had a brush-up. The musical policy remains the same - "if it's good, we'll book it." Coming up soon Bates Motel, manic Cornish psycho-celts, The Paperboys, a folky outfit from Canada, and the luxurious soul sound of Hershey & The 12 Bars.
