Roger trained as an accountant but soon began working in south east ballrooms appearing with some of the music greats. It wasn't long before he joined one of the many pirate ships broadcasting off the coast of England and thus began a radio career that's taken him across the UK. In the 1970s he helped take Manchester's Piccadilly Radio to number one in the ratings. In the 1980s he wrote Invicta's application to win them the first commercial radio licence for Kent. In the 90s he helped launch a new radio station in Cornwall. Roger's love of music is legendary and his encyclopaedic knowledge of music is matched by the awesome fact that he owns every Top 10 single released since 1955. He's also the UK's biggest Beach Boy fan - so expect plenty of Beach boy tracks amongst a mix of classic tracks from the past 4 decades. The evening show is all about bringing together the music and the listeners. Says Roger: 'I bring along the music and the guests. The listeners add in their memories and thoughts to make the show complete'. On Sundays Roger welcomes a weekly guest for an hour to choose their favourite tracks in The Music Room.
