Really gutted about rog , every day i drive up the camden rd past camden palace where Rog and Ady used to do twist and shout i stood in for them many a night ( slipping my own northern sounds in to a 60s night ) then off to wag club to dj it was with paul guntrip , upstairs rog played his usual excellent selection then id play northern and reggae
then further up the road is the unicorn where it was a more rockabilly jump blues r&b kind of vibe we did that on a thursday good memories Very early 80s allways thought about those times Every day
then the suburban all night warehouse / posh gaf parties near denham highwickham way legendary
dragging rog up to oddfellows hall and Peterborough allnighters , he would bring so much beer it took forever as rog would be wanting to stop for a pee and a fag every 5 mins
shouldn't admit this but he had me one night at the electric ballroom , it was rockabilly night upstairs which a group of us frequented as we liked the girls
we had all been drinking and partaking of the jamaican woodbines since early in the day i was off dancing or something and stupidly left my pint of bitter with rog , when i returned i said rog gimme my drink im gasping he handed me a beautiful looking pint complete with froth of ...... you got it ... pee
i took a huge chug and swallowed it rog , addy and everyone else were just fcuking laughing their heads off as i stood there reching with pee pouring down my chin and soaking my shirt
not a good look
these are my memories of rog
a good bloke , good laugh , missed ,
RIP Roger
