Roger tells me his music has been inspired by artists such as Roger Whittaker, Don Williams and ElvisPresley with a repertoire based around traditional ballroom, country, rock 'n' roll and 50s and 90s music.

He says: "After all these years on the road I still love my music and whether performing at venues with as few as 15 people or as many as 3,000 I still always try to create an atmosphere with audience participation.

Ballads and whistling are still great loves of mine and always go down well – so much so that I'm billed at quite a few venues as the 'Roger Whittaker' of country music!"
