Derek Redfern (brother of Jamie Redfern) is a professional Australian entertainer. Derek was one of the most popular team members on Australia's enormously successful children's variety program, Young Talent Time, and was a much-loved singing and dancing teen heartthrob with a huge and very loyal fan base. When Derek's famous brother Jamie Redfern left Young Talent Time to tour the United States with Mr Showmanship Liberace, Derek was Jamie's obvious replacement, and went on to be a huge hit with the iconic television shows ever increasing weekly viewing audience. Derek released his own hit single "Put Your Head On My Shoulder" in the early seventies and the song charted very well around the country, making it into the charts in a number of Australian states. When Derek got out of showbiz, he became a carpenter for many years before returning to the music industry. Derek still gigs on the club scene.
