\"A man whose guitar playing leaves you gasping, whose voice can turn from a gentle whisper to window-rattling bellow, whose songwriting ability seems boundless and whose interpretations of other people’s material always brings an individual twist, Roy is deservedly gaining greater recognition with appearances at Festivals throughout the UK and gigs in Europe.\" ~Digital Blues

For the record (no pun intended) Roy’s first recorded output was in 1980 with the NWoBHM band Warrior. This was a 10 inch vinyl single that seemed a good idea at the time but wouldn’t fit into any jukeboxes so had a limited appeal. He stems from what became known as the Thames Delta blues scene during the Seventies. Scores of fine blues outfits spilled out from the area at that time – Mickey Jupp’s Legend, Dr Feelgood, The Kursaal Flyers, Eddie and the Hot Rods etc. So now Roy plays mainly solo in clubs and around the festival circuit across the UK. Like others before him he’s stretching out and probing into areas where blues and British folk tradition meet, increasingly playing established, highly rated acoustic gigs and festivals in an attempt to prove his worth in a genre where songs demand a meaningful lyric.
