Three Foot Tiger: A musical memoir by Derek Davey is an autobiography and an account of a life of sex, drugs and rock 'n roll in South Africa during during the country's transition from Apartheid and beyond

Derek’s headlong journey into self-destruction changes to self-discovery. He reaches a point when he realizes that partying, girls and gigs are not enough; he wants to be a whole human being. To do that, he has to own what men fear most: his emotions and his obligations to his significant others. Three Foot Tiger explores loss, discovery, anger, denial, frustration, love, loneliness, exhilaration, fear and despair; how Derek owns his misogyny and entitlement; how he copes with the death of his pets, parents, friends and fellow addicts.
