After The Flood

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!
