Roger Davies Band
A first visit for the multi-talented Roger and his band to Wetherby. In addition to recording 7 albums, he is a well-established contemporary artist having several exhibitions. However, it as a talented musician that we look forward to.
"When Roger walked on stage to a sold out Square Chapel in Halifax, it quickly became obvious why this self styled 'Yorkshire Songwriter' commands such a strong following. His songs are a reflection of the world around us. His lyrics can be funny, as in 'The Beerbelly Blues', thought provoking or, as in his tender ballad 'Stephanie', simply exquisite."Halifax Courier
