Derek Smalls, formerly of Spinal Tap, is doing a live gig.
 
Join Derek, his band The Surviving Members and the Sydney Symphony Orchestra in the world premiere of his new multi-media extravaganza Lukewarm Water Live: An Adventure in Loud Music.
 
“When they told me I was going to perform at Sydney Opera House, I was really chuffed.  I was halfway through learning the Habanera from Carmen when they told me two things: that was for a soprano, and they want me to play my music.  So I'm going to write some.  Now I'm really chuffed." says Smalls.
 
Featuring some special musical guests, brand new songs and Spinal Tap classics, this will be an event not to be missed as Smalls spreads his solo wings and musically explores ageing, the passage of time and all things loud.
 
Smalls has described his former band mates David St. Hubbins and Nigel Tufnel as "distinct types of visionaries ... like fire and ice", saying that he considered his role in the band to be "in the middle of that, kind of like lukewarm water".  This has provided the inspiration for the name of his brand new solo show. 

Derek is not to be confused with TV entertainer Harry Shearer.
