Hi Roger, I was at your show at the sheperds bush empire on wednesday, and I have to say it was amazing. I loved every minute of it and if you saw some guy giving you the thumbs up every tune in the front row with very short hair,that was me!

Anyway it was definitely worth waiting the 14 years that I have to see you perform live.Many many thanks once again for a great show.I love your music.

Roger,

What an emotional experience ! I was spellbound with a lump in my throat all the way through. You were absolutely amazing and I will never forget the 30th. Thank you so so much.

When will the DVD be released, I can't wait ?Another album would be good too !!

Thank you


Phil Hargreaves



Hi, I just wanted to send a message of thanks for such a wonderful night on Wednesday.

I travelled to London from Liverpool having listened to Roger's music since the 70's. Supertramp and the solo work has been a feature at major family occasions, weddings etc., and has provided a soundtrack to memorable car and train journeys too.

I've been to many live shows, but Wednesday was special. The enthusiasm of the crowd, the intimate nature of the venue and just the all round 'warmth' of the occasion made it a night to remember (with all the cameras there, will there be a DVD?!)

Please don't stop writing and recording - there's already two new songs that you know that your audience loves!

And each year Liverpool plays host to the Summer Pops, a series of concerts in a circus big top tent (we've had Diana Ross, Peter Gabriel, Lionel Ritchie and many many others) that holds around 2,000 people - it would be great to see Roger Hodgson on the bill!

Once again, thank you so much for a wonderful evening - please don't wait 22 years next time!!

Kindest regards,


Nick Hughes



Wow! What a fantastic night!

I saw Roger at Shepherds Bush on Wednesday night and I can't remember a concert I enjoyed more. What a guy. What songs. What warmth from Roger to the audience and the audience to Roger.

I saw Supertramp when there were about 150 people in the audience at Guildford Civic and saw them many more times and have always been a great admirer of their music.

To see Roger play those songs (and the new ones) was a complete joy and I felt like staying and listening and joining in and clapping all night.What a feel good night. I turned to look at the faces in the cicle and above and EVERYONES faces were alight with enjoyment.

Fantastic! Please do it again soon. Roger said that he was not sure people would remember him.........How could they forget him?

Absolutely brilliant. Thank you,


Richard Haines



Hello Roger, your concert at Shepherd’s Bush was a great show. The sax player was out of this world and it was nice to see John Helliwell in the crowd. Please come back soon as I’ve promised my 12 year old son I’ll take him to see you in concert.

Thanks for the songs, best wishes,


Paul Coburn



Roger,

Thank you SO much for playing this lovely theatre this week. I was SO pleased to see and hear you, as Supertramp have been my favourite band for so long, but I did not discover you in time to see you live before you split up. One of the biggest regrets of my life. In a way, though, I made up for it a little bit this week.

Please hurry back so we can do it again? Don't Hide in Your Shell? Give a little bit?

You were brilliant!! So relaxed, and so talented. It was a privelige to be there.


Dave



Dear Roger,

Like many I looked forward to the Shepherds Bush show on 30th November. 22 years is a long time and I hope that you may do some more shows in the UK in future.

I have said it before and I will say it again, you are a well-loved and respected musician. Your songs have become part of people (what is personal in its creation becomes universal in its appeal and then it becomes personal again). Your songs have meaning, sentiment and craft. To open and close with "Give A Little Bit" was inspired. Acoustic "School" on 12 string and keys? - what can I say? - a delight! The medley incorporating "Crime.." was brilliant.

We miss "Tramp" and life goes on (rites of passage, I guess). It was good to see Mr Helliwell in the crowd, but it was your show. Thanks again for what was a magical and memorable show. Your humility, warmth and connection is marvellous to see.

Thank you,


Gary Duncan



It was in attendance at the recent show at the Shepherds Bush Empire on November 30th, which was wonderful. The concert was being filmed, and I would like to know where I would be able to see the footage. Is it for a TV show in the UK, or maybe a DVD? Is it possible to advise me?

Many thanks,


Jeremy Danks



Roger,

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for a wonderful concert. Don't you dare leave it another 22 years!!!! :-) You truly are an amazing songwriter and the fact that you carry so much rhythm into your keyboard and 12 string playing means that we don't miss the drums and bass at all!

Loved every second of it. I'd love to hear you do "along came mary" and "know who you are" at some stage so hopefully you can add them to the set for me next time you're around!!!!

Fondest regards,


Michael Godfrey



Dear Roger,

I wanted to write and let you know how moved I was by your sensational concert on Wednesday night. It was a real joy to see you in such good form and sounding so superb... after so long!

I congratulate you on an outstanding solo performance and for writing and singing such legendary songs.

This comes with heartfelt best wishes as I used to play drums for you at Stowe!

We all hope to see you in London again very soon.

Yours,


Andrew Chance



Dear Roger and Team,

I just had to make contact to say that Wednesday night's concert will live with my wife and I for the rest of our days. Being true music fans (both fortysomethings!) we have been to countless gigs and in fairness seen them all.

But some stand out as being very, very special and on what we witnessed on Wednesday was certainly that. Your perfomance was simply electrifying.

Please do not leave it another twenty two years Roger - that most certainly would run for crime of the century!

Thank you so much.

With our love and good wishes to you all.



PS Could'nt help but notice the filming going on. Will keep our fingers crossed that it will be on DVD/televised before too long. Can you let us know?


Alan and Susan Wright



Hi,

I just wanted to say thanks for a brilliant gig in Shephards Bush, London the other night.

Please don't leave it quite as long until you come back next time.


Mick Davies



Dear Roger,

Thank you for an absolutely brilliant gig on Wednesday night. It was well worth the 26 year wait! - you were right when you said it has been 22 years since you played England, but it's been much longer since you played Scotland and my wife and I happily made the journey down from Ayrshire when we discovered you would be playing at home. I trust the reception you were given by your UK fans has convinced you that there is a real demand for your music. We're all looking forward to the 2006 UK tour (hint, hint) and please don't forget to bring merchandise next time!

Many thanks again,


David Russell



Hi Roger,

Just to say how much we loved your concert on Wednesday - your performance was just so perfect and very emotional for us too, so many memories of our youth all those years ago. I saw you and the band in about 1978/9 at Wembley - a great performance too. Please don't leave it so long until the next time - we'll all be there and many others too.

Do you remember a guy called Andrew Chance (at Stowe) ? He has a band and came with us - he loved every second of it.

Thank you for a truely great time. It was a spiritual experience.

Kind regards,


Hugh Fairfax



To Roger,

I have eagerly awaited a date in the UK since 1984, after I had listened to your solo album. It has become my most played album, along with your other albums released since then. I wrote to you in 1985 querying a UK tour date, to which you replied that one was planned sometime in 1986 or so. I was absolutely flabbergasted to see that you had taken the time to write a little personal note to me on the letter.

Thank you.

I only got the recent UK date by sheer chance, as I hadn't been on the web site for some months. I immediately bought the tickets and within a week was winging my way to London to see the performance that I have so much been wanting to see.

I went with my wife, who knows of you but not really listened to your solo music. She is a new convert! I was completely overwhelmed by your performance. It was fantastic, well worth the 20 year or so wait! Everyone I could see at the concert were moved and ecstatic during the whole event. I went home with a massive grin on my face and a great feeling. Different on my journey up to London due to delays etc.

Thank you again, Roger, for a great performance and for your music that has helped me over the years. Don't leave it too long before you return "home" to perform again.

Best wishes,


Phil Wickwar
