Derek Pellicci Biography
Derek Pellicci is one of the most popular and richest Australian drummer who was born on February 18, 1953 in London, England, United Kingdom. In 1968, Pellicci came back to Melbourne to pursue a music career with a serious focus, starting as a semi-pro band Recital before joining his first professional band Plum.

In December of that year, he married his longtime girlfriend, Anne Deacon.
When the family relocated into King Island, Tasmania in 1966, Pellicci attended the local high school, while John and Arthur worked in King Island Scheelite Mine. King Island Scheelite mine. The shock of a rural lifestyle was exacerbated by the fact Pellicci was an avid fan of music but was forced to wait for until a month to receive the hottest pop 45s to be shipped to mainland Victoria.
When he was in 1964, Pellicci’s elder brother John took then 11-year-old Pellicci to watch The Beatles welcome them with their “sea” of fans from the balcony of Melbourne’s Southern Cross Hotel.

In 1972 Pellicci joined a new band, Mississippi (featuring future Little River Band members, Graeham Goble and Beeb Birtles). Mississippi not only served to develop his studio skills, but also was an orientation into the gruelling road tours that lay ahead.
