Paul Derrett and Michael Smith are the architects of Real Time Apollo. Both share a passion for music and original songwriting. Heartfelt lyrics are set against a backdrop of intricate guitar lines, piano, strings & synths, harmonica and sax.

Collaborating with vocalists and musicians from the UK and America, they have produced a library of songs that scan Americana, Alt Country, Pop and Rock. Think of a unique blend of latter day Talk Talk, The Blue Nile, Tom Waits and The Stones, and you'll discover the heartbeat of Real Time Apollo.

They continue to evolve, releasing a collection of brand new songs in 2023. Enjoy!

As on the lily-pad I sat and gazed in awe of all around,
My ears accustomed now to all of nature's calming sounds,
The mists of her reality now settling in my brain,
The stain of civil congress washed away by tepid rain,

I felt brand new and old at once like a far-off destination,
I felt as though my worry had been replaced by soothing patience,
I felt like all around me forged together so to be,
I felt like a bobbing bottle careless littered in the sea,

And now the vacuum casted out from deep within my mind,
has cooed at sobbing pangs that birth the teeth that birth the grind,
Like wavered payments stone and pavement crumble and subside,
The waves of my emotion halt and stillness now implied.

Edward has continued dabbling in hosting and curating events and warming up for the likes of Evan Baggs, Quest, Hamish & Toby, Etienne, Dj Masda, Daniel Bell & Simon Caldwell just to name a few. 

His direction and push has been most recently more refined through electronic selections which are curated from many years spent traveling the world and digging up old records and sounds left in the dust.
