Continuing the series that offers surprising glimpses into individual lives.
Derek is white, middle class, late 50s. Pass him on the street and you could mistake him for what he used to be - an accountant in a chocolate firm. You'd never suspect that his job now ensures a roaring trade over the bar at The Star and Garter pub in Bristol, whose regulars include many from the first generation of black immigrants to the city. He identifies completely with the cultural life brought into this country by West Indians, can't imagine living differently now and would love to follow his friends when they retire to the islands. In the meantime he's happy to be their DJ, to spin the records they like, and to go to London on expeditions to find the music his favourite generation all enjoy, but the best moment of his week is always that first pint back in The Star and Garter with his friends.
