The Ska revival in the late 70's early 80's was fantastic and opened us up to the original Ska Bands. The Beat and Roger were foremost in that revival.
Very sad for him and his family. A little more poignant as I just turned 56 myself! I am not a muso so would love to hear about him an his influence from people who know. |

Fcek me, it would appear The Guardian and The Independent donk't know who he was or what he did or rather don't employ anybody who did, shocking! Tbf late night? I want to see what these papers publish tomorrow and the weekend.
