jezzaboy Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 I only know of Roger from reading Rick Wakeman`s books but he seemed like a nice guy and must have been a decent player to hang with Mr W. That band of his, The English rock ensemble liked a sherry or 2 as well. RIP Rog 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used one of his Bassist pieces as my GCSE music performance - a "cross-handed tapping piece" of all things! It's still ingrained on my memory.

Greg Edwards69 Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 (edited) Oh that is sad news. I remember briefly chatting to him with my brother at a guitar show in London IIRC. He came across as a lovely, knowledgeable and humble guy. Music journalism has lost a great talent.
