The King and I is an exciting acoustic duo, performing innovative vocal and instrumental arrangements of popular modern day classics.
Derek is an accomplished singer and songwriter with two acclaimed solo albums to his name, while Jenny has performed for many years as a solo Spanish and classical guitarist. A happy meeting in 2017 resulted in the chemistry that The King and I is today. The duo can be seen regularly on the acoustic music circuit in and around Liverpool and more widely - they have also played as far afield as Turkey and Australia.
Based in Liverpool, Merseyside
