Derek Pascoe

Derek Pascoe was the vocalist and saxophonist in Flintlock.[1] He appeared in one episode of the children's science fiction programme The Tomorrow People, "The Heart of Sogguth"[2] in which the band's music was to revive an ancient demon.[3] 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.”[4] He is a member of the Jazz Performance academic staff of the Elder Conservatorium of Music (teaching saxophone, improvisation and small ensemble) [5] and plays sax in the spoken word/ impro outfit Max-Mo.

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