RIP Spot on, Dan - Thanks, I'd forgotten that. Going to listen to it now... Was that him singing that? Love that version...I thought it was someone else singing and he was playing guitar. Going to listen to that later in tribute.

RIP Spot on, Dan - Thanks, I'd forgotten that. Going to listen to it now... Was that him singing that? Love that version...I thought it was someone else singing and he was playing guitar. Going to listen to that later in tribute. I'm not sure how much of a contribution Roger actually makes. The lineup for that track was (according to the CD), deep breath: Iain M, Ashley, Thomo, Simon, Gerry, Vicki, Marc Ellington, Swarb, Pegg, Chris L, Roger Hill, Tom Farnell, Eddi Reader, Fraser Spiers. Title: Re: Roger Hill Post by: Dan O. on November 09, 2011, 03:05:37 PM Oh my goodness, what a cast...must've been a cameo appearance by Roger Hill, don't recall that many people on stage at the time - still, Cropredy, 6X and the passage of 9 years can play tricks on the memory :)
Title: Re: Roger Hill Post by: KascadeDan on November 09, 2011, 04:26:45 PM Very Sad news indeed

When i was young I thought 'one day the people I like watching/listening to etc will start to die'. It still comes as a shock every time. Title: Re: Roger Hill Post by: Henry Tompkins (Pete) on November 09, 2011, 06:57:27 PM RIP Roger

I know now what Peggy and Steve Gibbons and others were talking about now.....he was really, really good! Elegant and clean playing there, it sounded exceptional.
